There are few better ways to relax on your day off than sparking up a little bit of weed. But if you're trying to get a little stoned and not blow you're entire day away, you should put a little thought behind the cannabis strain you select.

As any seasoned stoner will tell you, different strains of cannabis offer various effects. Some are light and uplifting, while others can make you feel tired and groggy. But don't worry, there are a ton of resources available to inform you exactly what you can expect from different strains.

Cannabis is either derived from indica strains, which are known for their sedative, relaxing and lethargic properties, or sativa, which offers more of a buzzy boost. Growers have been tinkering and cross-breeding for decades, so most strains are a combination of indica and sativa, known as a hybrid.
