In terms of a smokers experience, what is the difference between Indica and Sativa? I've read much about the differences in the plants themselves (shape of leaves, amount of buds, etc..). What is the difference in the "high" that is associated with the two types? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.26.180.225 (talk • contribs) 17:56, February 26, 2006 (UTC)

After smoking Sativa strains, many people get a "stoned" feeling, possiblly accompanied by paranoia around other people, followed by hunger and drowsiness. Indica, however, is known for a happy, alert, clean-feeling high in which many people feel more social than with Sativa. People who don't like the effects of sativa, or get worn out by them, could try switching to Indica, or mixing it up for different occasions.64.16.162.161 23:17, 4 September 2006 (UTC)mar[reply]

I must disagree with the above comments. The vast majority of experianced smokers would claim the exact opposite with the Sativa strains giving the up high experiance and Indicas the stoned effect

Sativas are known for their head highs as well, while indicas produce more of a body high. Indica is more likely to be taken for pain or issues sleeping, and possibly towards the later evening hours. Why is a discussion needed on this is my question? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.192.124 (talk) 21:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article should be a standalone article, as it is capable of meeting the general notability guideline as a notable plant species. riffic (talk) 14:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
