Indica or Sativa: What’s Your Cannabis Preference?

Sara DilleyLast updated July 28, 2020

Has someone ever asked you which is better, indica or sativa? How could you even begin to choose?

Last month we asked folks on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram channels if they preferred indica or sativa strains. We expected to see a lot of “both” because, you know, cannabis. The results weren’t too far from our theory!

Interestingly, indica came out on top with a slim majority, 32% of the votes, but sativas and “both” were only barely behind it. It was no surprise to see hybrid make its way on the list, but we weren’t expecting to see so many people write in ruderalis!

Which do you prefer? Leave your answers in the comments!
