1. What Are Cannabis Strains?

Not all marijuana is created equally. Different kinds of cannabis flowers produce different effects. Cannabis strains are the unique lineages of marijuana plants that have been bred over time to produce certain desired effects. Growers have specially selected these plants due to their distinctive qualities. Some strains promote drowsiness and help the user sleep, while other strains encourage creativity and productivity. You can identify strains by their names, like the popular Blue Dreams or Sour Diesel.
