How Hybrid Strains Work
Hybrid strains are cannabis cultivars that result from crossing indica and sativa strains. These crosses produce plants with a mix of physical traits and psychoactive effects.
Understanding the Blend
Hybrids inherit traits from both parent strains, leading to a spectrum of effects. For instance, a hybrid might have the relaxing body high of an indica and the uplifting cerebral effects of a sativa.
