Best Strains for Daytime Use 

            The Cannabis L. genus is found wild in many tropical and temperate areas of the world. Cannabis primarily produces cannabinoids called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) in the leaves and buds of the female plant.

THC is the psychoactive drug in cannabis, affecting a consumer’s mood, perception, and behavior. The higher the THC content found, the stronger the experience of its effects is expected.

CBD is not a psychoactive component and is considered to be responsible for the medicinal properties of cannabis.

            This plant genus is described with the specified Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.

            Cannabis indica (C. indica) strains provide a more relaxing and calming experience, making them the great choice for nighttime use. This species is mostly associated with sleep.

Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) strains provide stimulating and energizing effects which makes them the best species to use during the day. Boosting energy, sativas promote a feeling of well-being that puts consumers at ease while there is an increase in focus and energy.

Cannabis comes in various strains. Every individual strain has a dominant cannabinoid and unique effects. Strains also have different content levels of THC, CBD, and sometimes, CBN.
