If you want to try Marijuana, and it is legal in your state for medical or recreational use, there are two factors you need to examine first: Strain of Plant and Delivery Method.

Plant Strains:

The two most common and dominant strains of the cannabis plant are Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica. Here is a fast and simple visual breakdown of the differences.

Experts at Marijuana Dispensaries (nicknamed “bud-tenders”) can also help with further understanding of the options for Marijuana strains. It’s not always as simple as Indica or Sativa, since there are now many strains that combine the benefits of both. These newer strains, called Hybrids, can have some of the benefits of both Indica and Sativa strains in a single plant (Think Labra-Doodle dogs, but for plants).
