Written By Morgan Sokol

Hey there, Joyful Shores fam! 🌺💚

You’ve seen the labels—Indica, Sativa, Hybrid—but what do they really mean? Let's break it down so you can make smarter choices when shopping for cannabis at our Babylon dispensary.

Indica

  • Known for: Deep relaxation, body effects, stress relief

  • Best for: Nighttime use, unwinding, pain management

  • Popular strains: Northern Lights, Granddaddy Purple

Sativa

  • Known for: Uplifting, energizing, cerebral effects

  • Best for: Daytime use, creativity, focus

  • Popular strains: Sour Diesel, Jack Herer

Hybrid

  • Known for: A mix of both Indica and Sativa effects

  • Best for: Balanced experience tailored to your needs

The Real Talk: While these labels are helpful starting points, the real magic lies in the strain’s terpene and cannabinoid profile. Our team at Joyful Shores can help you find the best fit for your vibe.
