Possible Side Effects and Risks

Along with diverse positive effects, Sativa vs Indica use can also cause a range of unwanted reactions:

  • mouth and eyes dryness
  • anxiety
  • panic
  • paranoia
  • racing heartbeat
  • low blood pressure
  • lethargy

Depending on the cannabis consumption method, you may experience other health problems. For instance, smoking can irritate your upper and lower airways, causing cough and burning in the throat.

Consumption of weed edibles is generally considered safe, but you should be careful with the dosing. Due to the systemic effects produced by oral cannabis-infused products, they are more potent, which enhances the risks of an overdose.

Choosing the Right Product. Know Your Needs

Choosing the right weed species requires making certain decisions on your part, like

  • Why do you want to use it? Whether you need it for pain, energy boost or relaxation makes a difference.
  • The way of consumption. Smoking, vaping, eating: what is most convenient for you?
  • Your THC sensitivity rate. Newbies should start with low-THC strains, while experienced ones may opt for some more potent species.
  • Your taste and flavor preferences. Cannabis strains vary from sweet, sour, to cheesy, and whatnot. Pick out the one you like most.
