Hybrid Strains
Cannabis hybrid strains are a combination of indica and sativa. Nowadays, two or more hybrids are often used to create a new strain.
Producers of hybrid cannabis can achieve specific goals, often using a combination of plants to increase the potency of THC or CBD, the two main psychoactive constituents of cannabis. Consequently, hybrids can be used to treat the symptoms of a broad range of medical conditions, from restlessness and anxiety to Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

What Are the Most Popular Hybrid Strains?
Unlike pure sativa and indica that grow naturally in many parts of the world, hybrids are created by humans aiming to develop strains with specific qualities.
The three main types of hybrid strains are sativa-dominant, indica-dominant, and balanced. Sativa is most commonly associated with feelings of productivity, increased energy and euphoria, making it an effective remedy for conditions such as anxiety and depression. Indica, on the other hand, is more of a sedative, often used to treat pain, insomnia, and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and even cancer.
Some of the most popular hybrid strains include:
- Blue Dream
- OG Kush
- Gorilla Glue
- White Widow
- Bubble Gum
- AK 47
- Cherry Pie
- Chemdawg
- Banana Kush
- LA Confidential
What Are the Medical Uses for Hybrid Cannabis?
Each hybrid has varying levels of THC and CBD, with CBD being the most commonly prescribed cannabinoid for medical use.
Here’s a quick guide to hybrids for medical purposes to help you decide which strain to use:
THC-Dominant
THC acts as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and overall mood-lifter. It’s also the cannabinoid that gives you a ‘high’ feeling. Inexperienced users may feel overwhelmed after consuming hybrids with high levels of THC.
CBD-Dominant
CBD helps to counter the side effects of THC, minimizing the risk of heightened anxiety and paranoia. If you suffer from depression or have low tolerance, you might benefit from purchasing a CBD-dominant hybrid strain.
Balanced
Balanced hybrid strains give you the best of both worlds. You can experience a mild high from the THC without sacrificing the healing benefits associated with CBD.
