KEY SATIVA (s) INDICA (i) CROSS (Cr) SATIVA DOMINANT (sd) INDICA DOMINANT (id) With an ever-increasing number of states legalizing the use of cannabis (some requiring a doctors prescription, others including for recreation), the buyer is faced with the question, Which strain is going to give me the best results? This book is designed to answer that question and is in a format allowing the reader to carry it into a dispensary for a quick check of what can be expected with any given strain available therein. However, browsing through it, one is likely to find a good number of strains they want to experience over time and keep an eye out for.

While there are literally thousands of strains, there are the classics and there are the most recent and popular (both of which are likely to be available at any given dispensary). This book will provide the reader with key information, such as: Sativa/Indica ratio (Sativa increases mental focus and even energizes, producing a high while indica strains sedate, relax the body, and impart a feeling of being stoned. Hybrids attempt to provide the best of both.) THC levels: How strong is it? CBD levels: A key factor in many of the medicinal benefits Possible side effects: From Euphoria to Dry Mouth to Anxiety, and the percentage of people who experience them Medicinal benefits and the percentage of effectiveness in each category Taste and smell Growing information, such as flowering time, yield, and special needs This and much morefor each strain. Here is how to interpret listing for uses for medicinal and recreational, as well as any potential side effects: (ExH) 100% of users experience this effect to a very significant degree (VH) 80 to 90% of users experience this very strong effect (MH or HM) 70% of users experience this significant effect (M) 40 to 60% of users experience this very noticeable effect (LM or ML) 30% of users experience this usually mild effect (VL) 5 to 20% of users experience this mild effect (ExL) < 5% of users experience this usually very mild effect Note that some effects may be listed without percentages. This is because that information was not available, it was was worthwhile to include those terms for potential users.
