Hybrid strains are the best of both worlds for many patients.  Hybrid strains are a cross of two or more strains of cannabis, allowing the patient to get the desired effects of both Indica and sativa strains in one hybrid strain.  For example, let’s say a patient has arthritis pain but needs to medicate before work each day.  A hybrid strain would allow him to reap the benefits of Indica’s pain relief without becoming too drowsy.
