Sativa

Sativas are tall plants that can reach a height of 20 feet, with loose branches covered in long and narrow leaves. Sativa thrives in warm climates, such as Thailand, Mexico, Columbia and Southeast Asia – regions that are in close proximity to the equator. The plant takes longer to flower, relative to its Indica counterpart, and appears as a lighter shade of green. Sativas also provide a higher yield, typically between 3 ounces to a pound per each individual plant. The presence of red or orange color on the buds is a good sign of a sativa lineage, along with a more fruity or tropical aroma.

Sativas are more psychoactive, characterized by energetic, stimulating and mind-altering effects that can complement physical activity, social gatherings, or even to boost productivity and focus. Better suited for daytime consumption, Sativas can be used to help patients suffering from fatigue and depression, ADD, mood disorders, multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms or fibromyalgia. As cerebral as it is, Sativa is known for its abilities to stimulate introspection and creative thinking, making it popular among artists, writers and others whose work constitutes original thinking. As for naming sativas, it is very common to encounter the word "Haze" in the moniker.
