Sativa is the other half of the indica and sativa pair you see on every menu.
Where the name comes from
Sativa plants come from warmer regions near the equator. They grow tall and thin, with narrow, light-green leaves, and they take longer to grow than indica plants.
What people say about it
Many people say sativa strains feel uplifting and more "in the head," and they tend to pick them for the daytime or for being around friends. That's what people report, not a medical claim, and it's different for everyone. How much you use and how used to cannabis you are matter a lot.
Reading past the label
Most products today are crosses, so a strain called sativa can have indica in its family tree. To compare products, look at the lab test (total THC, CBD and other cannabinoids) and the terpenes, like limonene and pinene, that shape the smell and taste. Your own experience with strains you've tried is worth just as much.
