Before we trip the light fantastic, let's start with the basics. What exactly is a marijuana strain? Well, a strain refers to the specific variety of a plant species. In our case, we're talking about Cannabis sativa, the botanical name of the plant we all know and love. Each strain has its unique blend of effects, aroma, flavour, and often, a cool-as-a-cucumber name.

Marijuana strains are generally broken up into three categories: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Indicas are typically associated with full-body effects, like deep relaxation and insomnia relief. Sativas are known for their more cerebral effects, perfect for mental stimulation and mood enhancement. Hybrids? They're the love child of Indica and Sativa strains, offering a balanced mix of effects.
