When producing hybrids, they are made to deliver efficiency. Indica and Sativa can be mixed to produce a hybrid. The mixture of the two is familiar and standard for their productivity when used.

Sativa Indica hybrids are for those that want a balance between the strain effects. When one is new to marijuana, there is a place where they can start. They can start with the hybrid to feel a balanced effect of both. However, they need to consider the fact that bodies are different, and they would have different effects. Marijuana growers and producers continue to produce hybrids for several individual preferences.

Hi Martin, my brother was diagnosed with the same diagnosis and he has switched from taking medicaments to CBD recently. I can’t tell you the relief that he and our family has felt ever since. CBD legalisation NOW! I can’t believe the ignorant of the media and the politicians toward this

Hi Martin, I have a friend who had a similar question. He now smokes mainly Hybrids that are leaning more towards Indica. But what really helped him with his ADHS is the use of CBD. He is consuming it in forms of drops, just ones every morning. Good luck! all the best from Italy.

Hi Martin, I am Miguel. One of the Co-Founder of El Capitan. Thank you for actively participating in our blog. Of course we are not doctors and this is my personal opinion. I think it’s likely that for you would be better to smoke strains that have more Indica percentage. That said, this is not black and white, there are many strains that have different ratios (50/50 o 40/60) Probably worth just trying out. CBD could also be a very good option for you. If you are in Barcelona let us know and we can connect you with some of the Cannabis clubs that we collaborate with that can give you an personal consulting. Hope this message helps, all the best. Miguel

I was wondering, I have had ADHS since I was little. Not sure if in this case Sativa would be the right fit, what would the community think?
