Origin: Cannabis sativa is found primarily in hot, dry climates with long sunny days. These include Africa, Central America, Southeast Asia, and portions of Western Asia.

Plant description: Sativa plants are tall and thin with finger-like leaves. They can grow to about 6 feet (ft) or 2 meters (m). They take longer to mature than some other types of cannabis.

Typical CBD-to-THC ratio: Sativa often has lower doses of CBD and higher doses of THC, whereas indica tends to have less THC than CBD.

Commonly associated effects of use: Sativa often produces a “mind high” or an energizing, anxiety-reducing effect.

Daytime or nighttime use: Because of its stimulating effects, sativa is often used in the daytime.
