What are the benefits of hybrid cannabis strains?

Gone are the days of choosing between an energizing high or couch-locked sedation—hybrid cannabis strains allow you to unlock the full spectrum of therapeutic benefits of cannabis by combining the uplifting qualities of sativa with the relaxing properties of indica. 

Hybrids harness the synergistic effects of diverse cannabinoid and terpene profiles, from pain and stress relief to boosting creativity and focus. 

Whether you seek therapeutic relief, recreational enjoyment, or a perfectly balanced experience, hybrid strains put you in control, delivering the best of both worlds. With our low-dose THC gummies, you can experience this beneficial cannabis synergy known as the entourage effect. Our delicious edibles make it super easy to find your sweet spot and enjoy the full benefits of hybrid strains.

What is a hybrid cannabis strain?

A hybrid cannabis strain is a variety created by crossbreeding an indica and a sativa strain. The combination of these two major strain types produces new hybrids that exhibit a unique blend of characteristics from both parent strains.

Hybrid strains contain different ratios of indica and sativa genetics, resulting in a wide range of effects—from the energizing, cerebral high associated with sativas to the relaxing, sedative qualities of indicas. Hybrid strains can be:

• Sativa-dominant: they contain a higher ratio of sativa genetics and provide more energizing, uplifting, and cerebral effects. Many cannabis enthusiasts prefer sativa-dominant hybrids for daytime use and activities that require mental stimulation and focus.
• Indica-dominant: they contain a higher percentage of indica genetics (around 60–80% indica). These strains are known for their relaxing, sedative qualities that can induce a strong body high. They are more suited for nighttime use, pain relief, and restful sleep.
• Balanced hybrids: they maintain an even 50/50 ratio of sativa and indica genetics, delivering a well-rounded experience with uplifting and relaxing effects. 

The precise balance of indica and sativa influences also impacts the plant's physical traits, such as growth structure, flowering time, and terpene profile. 

Why are hybrids better than pure indica or sativa?

Hybrid strains of cannabis are more popular among cannabis users than pure indica and sativa because they combine the desirable traits of both types. Hybrid customization caters to diverse preferences and needs. 

Here are the key reasons why hybrids are often considered superior:

1. Hybrids allow for a precise balance of indica and sativa genetics. Cultivators can create strains with specific effect profiles, from energizing and cerebral to relaxing and sedative.
2. Whether you’re into cannabis for recreational purposes or you seek therapeutic relief, hybrids offer many options to suit everyone’s individual needs.
3. The synergistic combination of cannabinoids and terpenes found in hybrids can potentially amplify their therapeutic benefits and soothe chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and many other conditions.
4. A combination of different terpene profiles of indica and sativa produces a diverse array of delightful and complex flavors and aromas.
5. Hybrid strains often exhibit enhanced growing traits, such as increased yield, resistance to pests and diseases, and desirable physical features.
6. For those seeking a middle ground between the extremes of pure indicas or sativas, balanced hybrids marry their uplifting and relaxing effects to deliver an enhanced therapeutic and medicinal experience.

If you’re looking to experience the benefits of hybrid strains, our low-dose cannabis edibles are the obvious choice. With microdosing cannabis, you get precisely measured low doses of Delta 9 THC and cannabidiol (CBD) tailored to your needs. No more guesswork or inconsistent experiences that come with other consumption methods.

What are the therapeutic effects of hybrid strains?

Hybrid cannabis strains have remarkable therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Carefully blended genetics of these two distinct strain types provide a harmonious balance of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds that work in synergy to trigger the beneficial entourage effect and deliver targeted relief. 

At microdoses, cannabis has more benefits than at higher doses. For example, lower doses of THC do not have psychoactive effects, especially when balanced with cannabidiol. Here are some of the key therapeutic effects of hybrid strains when consumed in low doses:

1. Pain relief. The synergistic combination of THC and CBD in hybrid strains has potent analgesic effects. THC and CBD help alleviate chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle soreness through their interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) and modulating pain signaling pathways. 
2. Anxiety and stress reduction. The calming and relaxing properties of indica genetics, balanced with the uplifting, energizing effects of sativa, help lower anxiety and stress, and promote your overall mental being. The complementary effects of cannabinoids and terpenes work together to regulate mood and induce a sense of tranquility, which may aid people with social anxiety, stage fright, and OCD.
3. Improved sleep. Many indica-leaning hybrids are known for their sedative effects, which is why CBD dosed with low amounts of THC can alleviate insomnia and promote restful, restorative sleep patterns.
4. Neuroprotective benefits. The cannabinoids and terpenes found in hybrid strains may have neuroprotective properties, potentially beneficial for medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. THC and CBD have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that protect and potentially repair neuronal damage and can even promote neurogenesis (formation of new brain cells).
5. Anti-inflammatory properties. Many hybrid strains with balanced THC and CBD exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects due to the synergistic action of various cannabinoids and terpenes. These compounds can help mitigate inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, Crohn's disease, and autoimmune disorders by modulating the body's inflammatory response.
6. Anti-nausea and appetite stimulation. The interaction between cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system can regulate nausea and appetite levels. The balanced effects of hybrids can help alleviate nausea and stimulate appetite, making our microdosed edibles useful for those undergoing chemotherapy or dealing with eating disorders.
7. Focus and creativity. Sativa-leaning hybrids can provide a clear-headed, focused experience, often enhancing creativity and productivity for tasks that require mental stimulation. The unique terpene and cannabinoid profiles of hybrid strains promote cerebral activity, cognitive function, and divergent thinking—but also need a touch of indica’s relaxing properties to soothe the racing mind and lower anxiety.

If you want to test these phenomenal health benefits of hybrid cannabis—but you don’t like the idea of smoking or vaping—we’ve got you. Our low-dose gummies and THC drinks steer clear from the high doses of Delta 9 THC that may cause impairment and ruin your cannabis experience. 

Instead, our gummies contain between 2 and 10 milligrams of THC per serving. 

You’ll also find only 2.5 mg of THC in our liquid Buzz drops™, so you can infuse your favorite mocktails and keep the party going. 

Our buzztails™ are becoming increasingly popular by the day. Don’t wait for others to tell you how great our THC-infused mocktails are. Subscribe to an ongoing Buzz drops™ delivery and experience the bliss yourself.

“These drops are the perfect replacement for my dry January. In fact, this may become a dry 2024! The hit is smooth and steady, just like having a light wine buzz. These don't make me sleepy or feel head in the clouds - just a nice calm, happy little buzz….”

How to choose the right hybrid for you

It’s not always easy to choose the right strain for you, especially if you’re new to cannabis. With so many options available, try to keep the following things in mind: 

1. Identify your goals: are you seeking relief from pain, anxiety, or insomnia? Or perhaps you're looking for an energizing boost or a balanced, euphoric experience? Define your goals clearly before you set out to find the hybrid that works for you. 
2. Understand potency: pay attention to the CBD and THC levels, as these will determine the intensity and the effectiveness of the therapeutic effects. Strains higher in THC can be more intoxicating, while higher CBD strains are more relaxing and therapeutic.
3. Choose the right terpene profile: terpenes are the aromatic compounds that contribute to the unique flavors and effects of each strain. For instance, limonene is uplifting, while myrcene is sedating. Different terpene profiles can help you achieve different experiences.
4. Start with balanced hybrids: if you're new to cannabis or unsure about your personal preferences, balanced hybrids (50% indica and 50% sativa) are a great starting point. Balanced hybrids allow you to experience a harmonious blend of effects without going too uplifting from the sativa or too sedating from the indica strains.
5. Experiment with sample sizes: when trying new strains, purchase smaller quantities first. This way, you can gauge how your body and mind respond before committing to larger amounts.
6. Choose the best consumption method: the way you consume cannabis can also impact the effects. For precise dosing and a consistent experience, microdosed edibles are the perfect choice.
7. Listen to your body: pay attention to how different strains make you feel, both physically and mentally. Keep a journal to track your experiences and refine your preferences over time.
8. Seek expert advice: don't hesitate to consult knowledgeable budtenders or online resources. Our experts at nama™ are always here to provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your unique needs and preferences.
