THC vs. CBD: What’s the Difference, and Which Do You Need?

The traditional breakdown Indica strains are traditionally associated with relaxing, body-heavy effects — often reached for in the evening. Sativa strains are traditionally associated with more energizing, uplifting effects — often reached for during the day.
