Learn more about Sativa strains, their perceived effects, the available strains to buy online, and the best way to harness their effects, as you read below. 

What is Sativa Weed?

The word “Sativa” was coined in the 18th century to describe the various species of cannabis. Cannabis Sativa strains were originally grown in central Asia and Europe. Today, Sativa strains are widely cultivated in different parts of Canada, the US, and Africa. 

Sativa cannabis plants are better suited to warm climates with a long season. They grow tall with thin, light green leaves and fluffy buds or flowers. 

Sativa weed or strains are called “wake n’ bake” cannabis due to their energizing, uplifting, and invigorating high. Many who have experienced Sativa’s effects believe the strains to be better suited for daytime use. However, it’s still cannabis, and its users have to be responsible enough not to handle heavy types of machinery and engage in activities like driving while under its influence. 

What Are the Sativa Effects?

The effects of smoking Sativa weed are varied, but they’re often associated with stimulating and mood-improving experiences. Some users report that Sativa helps improve their productivity by enhancing focus and concentration. Part of its effects include cerebral high and euphoria. 

When you buy Sativa weed online, these strains are stereotyped to have an energizing effect. This is an oversimplification to some since Sativa strains affect individuals differently. To truly anticipate how a particular Sativa strain can affect you, check its unique cannabinoid and terpene profile.  

Cannabinoids are cannabis compounds that play a key role in why humans experience the effects offered by the plant. In particular, cannabinoids like CBD and THC interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), resulting in the high felt in weed. 

Sativa cannabis strains have high Delta 9 THC content (the major psychoactive compound of the plant), a genetic trait believed to be the cause of Sativa’s intense high. 

Terpenes, on the other hand, are a set of aromatic cannabis compounds that give cannabis strains their distinct aroma and flavor. Like aromatherapy, they can enhance the effect of Sativa flowers.

Monoterpene myrcene and sesquiterpenes B-caryophyllene and a-humulene appear to be commonly present among cannabis Sativa strains. 

Differentiating Sativa with Indica and Hybrid Strains

When exploring Sativa for sale online or in dispensary menus, you’ll always come across three breeding classifications: Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. Understanding what each term means is crucial in helping you determine quickly which strain to pick.  

If you’re shopping to smoke, differentiating Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid through their unique effects will be most helpful. This is a generalization of each classification’s effects, but you may get into the particulars later when you check the strains from each classification. 

Strain Classification	General Associated Effects
Sativa	Uplifting and energizing
Indica	Calming and Relaxing
Hybrid	Has a blend of both Sativa and Indica effects.

Are All Sativa Strains Good?

Not all Sativa strains are stellar Sativas. There will always be a genetically superior Sativa compared to a bunch, and those deemed to be “good” are subjective across different cannabis consumers. Here are some deciding factors determining the quality of Sativa strains:

Effectiveness and Potency

A good Sativa strain can reliably provide its users with their desired effects. This usually means a balanced CBD and THC amount that aligns well with a user’s preference and current needs. Reliable Sativa strains also mean evoking consistent and predictable Sativa effects across batches. 

Diverse Terpene Profile

Sativa strains with diverse terpene profiles are considered appealing due to the increased likelihood of experiencing the entourage effect associated with terpene diversity.

Grow Conditions

Genetically superior Sativa strains can still be of poor quality if grown in inferior conditions. The growing environment, soil quality, water, and manpower affect the quality of cannabis cultivation. Additionally, cannabis producers should apply proper harvesting and curing processes to prepare the plant material well for human consumption. 

User Preference

The final judge on whether a cannabis bud is good or bad boils down to user preference. A Sativa strain can have subpar quality, but it’s considered good if you like it because it gives you what you currently crave. 

What Are the Best Sativa Weed Strains?

There are hundreds of cannabis strains, but the exact number classified as Sativa is unknown. Certain strains are “regular” on shelves when you buy Sativa strains online or in physical shops. Their popularity is credited to their unique aromatic profile and effects. 

Below are the top 10 popular Sativa strains available in dispensaries and online stores. We carry some of them:

1. Jack Herer

Also known as “JH” or “Premium Jack,” Jack Herer is a Sativa-dominant strain named after the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Jack Herer’s strain parentage includes a Haze hybrid, Northern Lights #5, and Shiva Skunk.  

The rich genetic background of Jack Herer makes this strain extra energizing and uplifting. Specifically, Jack Herer users report blissful, clear-headed, and creative effects. This award-winning strain produces a spicy and piney scent. 

2. Durban Poison

Durban Poison is a pure Sativa from South Africa. It’s popular for its sweet scent and energetic effects, perfect for staying productive during the day. This strain has over-sized resin glands, which makes it a good production choice for concentrates. 

3. Green Crack

Inbreeding Skunk #1 results in the sativa-dominant Green Crack. Also known as Green Cush, Green Crack is massively potent, with THC reading reaching 24%. The effects are cerebral, mood-boosting, and give you a jolt of energy. As a side effect, Green Crack helps you get things done. This strain has sweet, tropical, and citrus notes. 

4. Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough has unconfirmed lineage, but it’s considered to be from a cross between Haze and Strawberry Fields. This potent Sativa strain exudes the sweet smell of fresh strawberries while giving you that cerebral and uplifting high. It’s a go-to for users who want to get relief from long-term stress. 

5. Super Lemon Haze

Sometimes called “SLH,” Super Lemon Haze is a Sativa borne from the crossing of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. This strain has lemony characteristics that, when smoked, produce a zesty, citrusy vibe. As for the taste, SLH is tart and sweet. The effects are as expected—energizing and loosening. 

6. Lemon Haze

The Sativa strain Lemon Haze is another literal example of a strain that tastes and smells like lemon and citrus. It was created by crossing Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze. Up close, the buds are green and yellow, and the amber hair is sticking on the trichomes. 

As a Sativa-dominant strain, Lemon Haze produces a signature set of effects described to be energizing and uplifting. It offers bursts of creativity, great focus, and euphoria. 

7. Tropicana Cookies

Tropicana Cookies, a Sativa-dominant strain created by crossing Girl Scout Cookies and Tangie strains, has an insanely delicious citrus and sweet cookie-like taste. Its bright-colored buds emit an earthy pine and sour spice aroma. 

At the onset of the effects, you’ll immediately feel energetic, the high slowly filling both the mind and the body. You’ll soon experience waves of happiness and creative motivation in the works. 

8. Super Silver Haze

Green House Seeds bred Super Silver Haze, a Sativa marijuana strain made by crossing Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze. It won several cannabis awards in 1997, 1998, and 1999 because of its beautiful, sticky resin that sends an energetic and long-lasting body high. 

9. Maui Wowie

Nothing screams Sativa classic than Maui Wowie, aka Mowie Wowie. This cross between Hawaiian and another unknown strain features a dance of tropical flavors complementing its stress-relieving effects. 

Originating in Hawaii’s volcanic soil, Maui Wowie has blessed us with pineapple-rich flavor and a high-energy type of euphoria. 

10. Purple Haze

The Purple Haze Sativa cannabis strain is an ode to Jimi Hendrix’s 1967 classic song, Purple Haze. It delivers a euphoria that will transport you straight into the 60s’. This nostalgic strain is cherished for its cerebral stimulation that awakens your inner creativity, easing down to blissful contentment by the end. 

Purple Haze is a cross-breeding product between Purple Thai and Haze. Its lineage shows in the strain’s mix of sweet and earthy flavors. The Sativa strain’s vibrant hues of lavender complement its berry notes with a touch of spice. 

How to Use Sativa?

Cannabis products with a Sativa classification are popular for daytime use, but others like them for evenings (you do you), especially during social gatherings and events. Sativa strains come in raw flower, pre-rolled joints, and blunts. Extracted Sativa strains are manufactured as e-liquid vapes, dabbing concentrates, or gummies. 

Here are some mindful reminders when using Sativa strains during the daytime.  

1. Choose the right strain.

Opt for Sativa strains with a balanced ratio of THC to CBD. The right amount can help with focus and concentration instead of triggering anxiety, heart racing, and other unwanted symptoms. Strains with uplifting terpene contents like limonene and pinene are great daytime cannabis. 

2. Start with the lowest dose.

If you’re new to smoking Sativa strains or cannabis in general, you’ll likely have a low tolerance to its compounds. Start with the lowest dose, doing three puffs maximum and observing the effects before taking another. 

3. Smoke in moderation.

Overusing sativa strains to boost focus daily can lead to overstimulation and tolerance to their effects. It’s important to use them in moderation. 

4. Find the right timing.

Yes, Sativa strains are known to boost focus, but driving while their effects are still active is dangerous (not to mention inappropriate in a work set-up). Do it during weekends or off-duty days without kids, preferably in the comfort of your home. 

Better yet, pair smoking Sativa with tasks that require focus, such as gardening, painting, sports, etc.

5. Snack on and drink water.

Cannabis can lead to dry mouth, so don’t forget to hydrate. Nibble on some food to maintain your energy throughout the day.
