In Germany, the legal situation regarding cannabis has recently changed considerably, which has led to increased attention for the cultivation and consumption of cannabis for non-medical purposes. This article provides an overview of the different cannabis strains and their properties to enable interested parties to make an informed choice.

Cannabis strain basics

Cannabis is mainly categorized into three varieties: Indica, Sativa and Hybrid. Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects and are often used to relieve pain, stress and sleep problems. Sativa strains, on the other hand, have a stimulating effect that is often associated with creativity and energy. Hybrid varieties offer a combination of both effects. The THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) content play a decisive role in the selection, as they significantly influence the intensity and type of effect.

Selection criteria for cannabis strains

Several factors should be taken into account when choosing the right variety:

• Cultivation: The legal home cultivation of cannabis is subject to certain conditions. Knowledge of the specific requirements of the varieties in terms of light, water and nutrients is crucial.
• Intended use: Whether for medicinal purposes or for relaxation – the intention behind consumption influences the choice of strain. While some varieties can alleviate specific complaints, others are better suited to promoting well-being.
• Effect profile: The desired effect, whether relaxing or invigorating, should be taken into account when selecting the cannabis strain.

Safety aspects and risk management

Conscious and responsible use of cannabis is essential. Information about the potential risks and the importance of dosage and tolerance development help to avoid undesirable side effects. It is also important to know and comply with the legal regulations on cultivation and consumption.
