We will explore the different marijuana strains by partnering them with selected states alphabetically. Enjoy the entire list, or scroll down to find your state and share this article with your friends and family to see if they agree. It’s also important to note that marijuana has two main types: indica and sativa. Indica strains are often remembered with the phrase, “in-da-couch,” because they induce relaxing, sedative effects, while sativa strains are more comparable to drinking a cup of coffee or feeling stimulated in some way! Finally, hybrids are a nice mixture of both: sometimes sativa dominant, sometimes indica dominant, and sometimes equal genetics from each.
