I've always wondered what the difference in effect is between indica and sativa. I've probably smoked them both, but of course, I don't know the difference. Is the sativa the more common strain for recreational users?
> I've never tried Sativex. I have used an oral spray product made from kief (trichomes). It has a very fast effect, which I used when a sudden pain spike had me struggling. The clinic I use had a "tester" product, and I was encouraged to try some before purchasing it. I had to wait a couple of hours before I could drive home.
