Frequently asked questions
Does Marijuana Strain Store sell cannabis or seeds?
No. Despite the name, we are an independent informational website. We do not sell, ship or supply cannabis, seeds or related products.
What is the difference between indica, sativa and hybrid?
The labels describe historical plant types, but most modern strains are hybrids. Chemistry such as terpene and cannabinoid content often tells you more than the label.
Are strain effects guaranteed?
No. Effects vary between people, batches and growers. Strain descriptions are general information and not medical advice.
