Indica vs Sativa — Why That Split Doesn’t Hold Anymore
It’s not about labels, it’s about how it moves.
Indica. Sativa. Outdated shortcuts for something more layered.
For years, cannabis conversations have opened with the same question: “Is it indica or sativa?” It’s become shorthand, a binary way to label something deeply complex. But that split, once rooted in plant structure, doesn’t hold when it comes to how cannabis actually feels.
Most strains today are hybrids. What matters more is how they move through the body and mind and that comes down to terpenes, not type.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that carry a flower’s sensory profile, citrus zest, pine resin, sweet cream, cracked pepper. They shape flavour, but also mood, energy, and body response.
The experience isn’t about what’s in the jar , it’s about how it lands in your system, your setting, your moment.
You’ve probably had a “sativa” that left you flat, or an “indica” that kept you focused. It happens because the real variable is the user, not the name.
Genetics matter, but so do growth, harvest, cure, and storage. The same cultivar can land differently from grower to grower, or even from season to season.
That’s why Kush CPT focuses on anticipated feeling, not classification.
“Indica” might suggest heavy, but if it’s layered with limonene and bright aromatics, it can feel light and clear. And vice versa.
It’s not about the name, it’s about the design of the experience.
We’ve moved away from the binary. We curate by rhythm, not label.
We look for balance, nuance, and returnability, strains that hold up over time, not just test high.
What matters is how it moves with you.
Less marketing, more clarity.
Less shorthand, more storytelling.
So next time someone asks, “Indica or sativa?” pause.
Consider the moment, the intention, the setting.
There’s more to the story.
And it starts with how you want to feel.
