Breaking Down a Common Cannabis Classification Myth

One of the most persistent myths in the cannabis industry involves the strict categorization of marijuana strains as either Indica or Sativa. At Arts District Cannabis, we believe it’s important to educate our community about this oversimplification.

Why This Classification System Is Outdated

The traditional belief that:
• Indica = relaxing body high
• Sativa = energetic head high

This binary classification system doesn’t tell the whole story. Modern cannabis is far more complex, with most strains being hybrids that have evolved through generations of crossbreeding.

What Actually Determines Effects

The true factors affecting your experience include:
• Cannabinoid profile (THC, CBD, etc.)
• Terpene composition
• Individual body chemistry
• Consumption method
• Personal tolerance

Making Better-Informed Choices

Instead of asking for “Indica” or “Sativa,” consider:
• Discussing specific effects you’re seeking
• Learning about terpene profiles
• Starting with lower doses to understand your response
• Consulting with knowledgeable budtenders

Whether you’re visiting from East Los Angeles, South Gate, or any of our neighboring communities, our team at Arts District Cannabis is here to help you make informed decisions based on scientific understanding rather than outdated classifications.

Remember: The best way to find what works for you is through educated experimentation and guidance from qualified professionals who understand the complex nature of cannabis products.
