Why Is it Important To Know More About Marijuana Strains?
 

The marijuana plant has been around for centuries and there are hundreds of strains of the plant. Each strain has different effects on the user. Some strains make you feel happy and giggly, while others make you sleepy or hungry. It's important to know which strain is best for you so that you can get the most out of your marijuana experience. Here are seven fast facts about marijuana strains:
 

1. There Are Hundreds Of Marijuana Strains
 

There are hundreds of different strains of marijuana. Each strain has a unique flavor, smell, and effect on the user. The most common effects that users experience include relaxation, euphoria (feeling high), increased appetite, pain relief, and sedation. With so many varieties to choose from it's important to know which strain is best for your needs before going out in search of cannabis products like marijuana buds, edibles, or tinctures.
 

2. Marijuana Strains Are Classified By Their Effects
 

Marijuana strains are classified by their effects on the user. The most common classifications are Sativa, Indica, and hybrid. Sativas are known for their uplifting and energetic effects, while Indicas are known for their relaxing and sedating effects. Hybrids are a mix of both Sativa, and Indica strains. It's important to know which classification best suits your needs so that you can choose the right strain of marijuana.
 

3. Marijuana Strains Are Named After Their Place Of Origin
 

Many marijuana strains are named after their place of origin. For example, Blue Dream is a popular hybrid strain that originated in California. OG Kush is another popular hybrid strain that originated in California. Sour Diesel is a Sativa-dominant strain that was originally from New York City. It's important to know the o=rigins of different strains so you can better understand their effects.
 

4. Some Marijuana Strains Are Toxic
 

Some marijuana strains are toxic. These toxic strains can even cause death in severe cases due to the presence of THCV, a cannabinoid that is found in some cannabis plants but not others. The good news is that most commercial and medical-grade marijuana has been tested for these toxins so you don't have to be concerned about them when purchasing your weed from a legal dispensary or licensed supplier. If you purchase recreational grade cannabis from an unlicensed dealer or someone who isn't a certified grower then there's no guarantee as to what type of quality control measures they took or didn't take during cultivation which could result in possibly dangerous levels of toxicity. You'll also never know if the person selling this product may have sprayed the cannabis with a pesticide to keep the bugs off of their plants.
 

5. Marijuana Strains Come In A Variety Of Colors
 

Marijuana strains come in a variety of colors. The most common colors are green, brown, and orange. However, some strains can be purple, blue, or pink. It's important to know the color of the strain you're buying because it can give you an indication as to how potent it is. For example, darker colored strains tend to have higher levels of THC than lighter colored strains.
 

6. Marijuana Strains Are Grown In A Variety Of Places
 

Marijuana strains are grown all over the world. The most popular places to grow cannabis include North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. It's important to know where a particular strain is from because it can tell you a lot about its effects. For example, Indica strains that are grown in colder climates will have a different effect than Indica strains that are grown in warmer climates.
 

7. Marijuana Strains Are Often Mixed With Other Strains
 

Many marijuana strains are mixed with other strains. This is done to create hybrids that have the best qualities of both parents’ strains. For example, Blue Dream is a hybrid strain that was created by mixing a Sativa strain with an Indica strain. By mixing different strains growers can create new and unique products that users will enjoy.
