I thought in the indica vs sativa thread that more people like indica...I do. Sativa`s don`t hit like that Indica`s do for me.
Indica is the overwhelmingly preferred medical strain. It's more potent; it knocks you on your ass, and the smoke is thick and is prone to coughing. I helps you relax/sleep. It's also easier to grow in-doors. Most the indica I see on the street, has been harvested too early. It starts out racy ,with enhanced paranoia, and ends with a crash. In other words it's commercial crap.
I smoked some sativa last night. Not very potent, but these were immature buds (from pruning)I'm still putting a cure on it. It was very uplifting (mood); I couldn't stop talking; all in the head; very clear. This is the kind of stuff that's great for smoking while tackling a project, biking/hiking, or just listening to music. Even though this particular strain didn't cause any paranoia, sativa highs are associated more with paranoia. Sativa's are stretchy, will easilly outgrow most indoor gardens if left unattended. Typically a much smoother smoke with no coughing fits.
I prefer Indica's, but I also like a sativa high, especially during the day.
