Indica, sativa, and hybrid are the three most common labels you’ll see on cannabis products, and most shoppers recognize them as “relaxing,” “uplifting,” or “somewhere in between.”
These categories are useful starting points because they give a quick sense of how a product is often described by consumers and brands.
In reality, the overall experience can vary a lot from person to person, and it depends on the complete chemical profile of the product, including cannabinoids and terpenes, not just the name on the label.
At High Society Dispensary, our goal is to make these terms easy to understand while also helping adult customers look beyond the basics so they can shop with confidence and intention.
We’re a locally owned cannabis dispensary serving Oklahoma City and surrounding areas, with multiple convenient locations.
Our team focuses on lab-tested products, clear education, and a welcoming environment for licensed medical marijuana patients and adults of legal age.
You can explore our menu and place your order for in-store pickup or delivery where available through our online ordering page.
Quick Overview – Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid at a Glance
One-Paragraph Summary
Indica products are commonly described by consumers as heavier and more body-oriented, often associated with winding down later in the day.
Sativa products are often described as more uplifting or thought-focused, and many people associate them with daytime or social activities.
Hybrids blend indica and sativa genetics and are usually marketed as balanced, indica-leaning, or sativa-leaning, depending on how the brand describes the experience.
Behind these familiar labels, chemovars (full cannabinoid and terpene profiles) give a more complete picture of a product, and individual responses can differ even when the label looks the same.
If you want to see how these categories look on real products, you can browse the High Society menu and filter by type on our order online page.
Comparison Table
| Plant Type | How Consumers Commonly Describe the Experience | Typical Use Time (Day / Evening) | Typical Dominant Terpenes | Notes on Variability |
| Indica | Body-heavy, deeply relaxing, “slow down” feel | More often associated with evening or wind-down | Myrcene, linalool, β-caryophyllene | Two indica products can feel different depending on chemovar and individual response |
| Sativa | Uplifting, cerebral, creative headspace | More often associated with daytime or social settings | Limonene, terpinolene, pinene | Not all sativas feel the same, and some may feel more calming than expected |
| Hybrid | In-between, balanced, or leaning toward one side | Day or evening, depending on label and personal preference | Any mix of the above, depending on lineage | Most modern products are hybrids, so effects can vary widely |
| Ruderalis | Not typically discussed in terms of “high” | Not commonly used as a standalone product | Varies; often not the focus | Mainly used in breeding for auto-flowering traits rather than direct consumer products |
What Do “Indica,” “Sativa,” and “Hybrid” Really Mean?
From Plant Species to Dispensary Labels
Cannabis has historically been grouped into a few botanical categories, most commonly Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis.
These categories originally referred to where the plants were found in the world, how they grew, and how they looked in the field.
Cannabis sativa was traditionally associated with warmer, equatorial regions, while Cannabis indica was linked to harsher, mountainous regions such as the Hindu Kush.
Cannabis ruderalis was observed in colder regions and is known for its compact size and fast flowering cycle.
Over time, breeders began crossing plants from different regions, combining traits from sativa, indica, and ruderalis to create new varieties with specific growth patterns, aromas, and cannabinoid profiles.
Because of decades of crossbreeding, most commercial cannabis on dispensary shelves today is technically hybrid, even when it is marketed as “indica” or “sativa.”
In modern retail settings, “indica,” “sativa,” and “hybrid” function less as strict scientific categories and more as effect-style labels that help shoppers quickly sort products by how they are commonly described.
When you visit a High Society location, you’ll see these familiar labels on our menus, along with lab data that shows THC, CBD, and terpenes for a more detailed view.
Why the Old Indica vs Sativa Story Is Oversimplified
For many years, the simple story has been that indica means “in-da-couch” and sativa means “energizing” or “daytime.”
Indica products are often talked about as heavier and more body-focused, while sativa products are often associated with a lighter, more cerebral feel.
These generalizations can be helpful as a first impression, but they leave out a lot of complexity.
Large datasets from testing labs and modern research show that products labeled “indica” and “sativa” do not fall into two neat, separate genetic groups.
Many indica-labeled and sativa-labeled products share overlapping ancestry and chemistry, and there is only weak genetic separation between the two categories in real-world samples.
Research also does not support a reliable pattern where indica products consistently contain more CBD or sativa products consistently contain more THC.
Instead, it is more accurate to look at chemovars, which describe a product based on its full chemical profile, including cannabinoids like THC and CBD and key terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and pinene.
Chemovars, along with a person’s individual tolerance and setting, give a clearer sense of why two products with the same label can feel very different.
To really understand how a product might feel, you need to look inside the plant at its lab-tested cannabinoid and terpene profile, not only at the indica, sativa, or hybrid tag on the menu.
High Society highlights these details on our online ordering page so Oklahoma shoppers can compare products side by side before visiting their preferred location.
The Plants Themselves – How Indica, Sativa, Hybrid, and Ruderalis Grow
Classic Cannabis Sativa Traits
Cannabis sativa has traditionally been associated with equatorial and warm regions, including parts of Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
In classic descriptions, sativa plants are tall and airy, often reaching several feet in height with long, narrow, lighter-green leaves.
These plants usually have longer flowering times, which historically influenced how and where they were grown outdoors.
For today’s shopper in Oklahoma, these field traits matter less than lab results and product type, but they explain why sativa plants were once easy to tell apart just by looking at them.
Classic Cannabis Indica Traits
Cannabis indica is traditionally linked to harsher, mountainous regions such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, northern India, and the Hindu Kush range.
Indica plants are typically shorter and bushier, with broader, darker leaves and dense, compact buds.
They often have shorter flowering periods than classic sativa plants, which has made them appealing for growers who want efficient, compact cultivation.
These growth traits helped shape many of the indica-leaning genetics that appear in today’s hybrid strains, even though the finished products are now labeled based on experience style as well as lineage.
Hybrids in Modern Cultivation
Modern cannabis breeding focuses heavily on hybrids, which are created by crossing sativa and indica genetics to combine desirable traits.
Breeders design hybrids to achieve specific goals such as particular growth patterns, flowering times, bud structure, aromas, and cannabinoid and terpene combinations.
Because of many generations of crossbreeding, most flower, vapes, and other products in Oklahoma dispensaries today come from hybrid genetics, even if they are tagged as “indica” or “sativa” on the shelf.
Brands often describe these hybrids as indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or balanced, depending on lineage and how consumers commonly talk about the experience.
When you shop at any High Society location or through our order online system, you’ll see hybrid options clearly labeled so you can filter by the style that fits your preferences.
What About Ruderalis?
Cannabis ruderalis is a smaller, fast-flowering variety that has been observed in colder regions such as parts of Eastern Europe and Russia.
It is known for its compact size, auto-flowering behavior (flowering based on age rather than light cycle), and naturally lower THC levels compared with many sativa and indica plants.
Because of its growth traits, ruderalis is mainly used in breeding programs to create auto-flowering hybrids that are easier to cultivate, especially in environments with shorter growing seasons.
Ruderalis itself is not commonly sold as a standalone flower option on dispensary shelves, but its genetics may be present behind the scenes in some hybrid cultivars.
For shoppers in Oklahoma, this usually shows up more in how the plant was grown than in how the final product is labeled, so you are more likely to see “indica,” “sativa,” or “hybrid” than “ruderalis” when you browse the High Society menu online or visit one of our stores.

Inside the Plant – Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Chemovars
Cannabinoids 101
Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors involved in things like mood, perception, and internal balance.
These compounds can influence how a product feels, shape the overall experience, and may affect how intense or long-lasting that experience seems for different people.
Each cannabis product has its own mix of cannabinoids, which is why two items labeled the same way on a shelf can still feel very different.
When you shop at High Society, you’ll see cannabinoid percentages listed on our packaging and menus, and you can compare these details any time through our online ordering page.
If you prefer talking it through in person, our team at any High Society location can help you understand what you’re seeing on the label.
THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol)
THC is the primary intoxicating cannabinoid in most cannabis products.
It is the main compound associated with the classic “high” feeling many people think of when they talk about cannabis.
The amount of THC in a product can influence how intense the experience feels and how quickly those effects seem to come on after use.
Higher THC levels often lead to a more intense experience, especially for newer or more sensitive consumers, but that does not automatically mean “better” or more enjoyable.
Many people find that there is a personal “sweet spot” for THC, and going far above that level can feel overwhelming rather than pleasant.
When browsing our menu at High Society, you can sort and filter products by THC percentage on the order online page.
CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD is another major cannabinoid found in cannabis, but it is considered non-intoxicating and does not produce the same kind of “high” as THC.
Many consumers choose CBD-dominant or CBD-balanced products when they want to explore milder experiences or adjust how intense THC feels for them.
The relationship between THC and CBD is often described using a ratio, such as 1:1, 2:1, or 20:1, which shows how much of each cannabinoid is present relative to the other.
Checking the THC:CBD ratio is one of the most important label details when you are comparing products, especially if you are still learning what feels comfortable for you.
You can quickly see these ratios for many items on the High Society order online menu and then pick them up at the location that works best for you.
Minor Cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC, THCV, etc.)
Beyond THC and CBD, modern lab reports often include several additional cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBC, and THCV.
These are sometimes called “minor” cannabinoids because they usually appear in smaller amounts, but they can still play a role in how a product feels overall.
Many consumers and producers are increasingly interested in these compounds because they may subtly influence things like the character, clarity, or duration of the experience.
Research into minor cannabinoids is still growing, so most of what we know today is based on early studies, lab measurements, and consumer feedback rather than definitive conclusions.
At High Society, we list available lab information for these cannabinoids whenever possible so you can see the full picture before ordering through our online menu or visiting one of our dispensary locations.
Terpenes – Aromas That Help Shape the Experience
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants, including citrus fruits, herbs, and pine trees.
They are responsible for much of the scent and flavor you notice when you smell or taste different strains, ranging from citrusy and fruity to earthy, floral, or spicy.
In addition to aroma and flavor, many people feel that terpenes also contribute to the overall character of the experience and help explain why two products with similar THC levels can still feel different.
Terpenes are a key part of the “entourage effect,” a term used to describe the idea that cannabinoids and terpenes work together as a whole, rather than acting in isolation.
While research is ongoing, consumers often report consistent patterns with certain terpenes, and these patterns can be helpful when you are exploring new products.
You can see terpene profiles on many products listed in the High Society online ordering system, and our team can help you interpret them at any location.
Here is a quick overview of some commonly discussed terpenes:
| Terpene | Typical Aroma / Flavor | How Consumers Commonly Describe the Experience Style |
| Myrcene | Earthy, herbal, musky (often compared to hops or mango) | Frequently linked with heavier, more “sink into the couch” experiences |
| Limonene | Bright citrus, lemon, orange, grapefruit | Often associated with bright, uplifted, or “sunny” moods |
| Linalool | Floral, lavender-like | Commonly described as soothing, gentle, and unwinding |
| Pinene | Pine needles, rosemary, forest-like | Many people associate it with fresh, clear-headed sensations |
| β-Caryophyllene | Peppery, spicy, clove-like | Noted for its bold flavor and its ability to interact with CB2 receptors |
| Terpinolene | Fresh, herbal, sometimes slightly fruity | Frequently found in strains marketed as “sativa-leaning” or more lively |
These descriptions are based on how consumers often talk about their experiences and do not guarantee how any individual product will feel.
Your own response can depend on many factors, including dose, environment, and personal sensitivity, which is why it is helpful to track both cannabinoids and terpenes when you shop our online menu or visit a High Society store.
Beyond Strains – Understanding Chemovars (Type I, II, III)
Chemovars are a way of grouping cannabis products based on their chemical profile rather than just their strain name or indica/sativa/hybrid label.
Instead of focusing only on genetics or marketing terms, chemovars look at measurable data like THC, CBD, and dominant terpenes.
A widely used system divides cannabis products into three main chemovar types.
Type I products are THC-dominant, meaning they have high THC and relatively low CBD.
Type II products have a more balanced THC:CBD profile, often closer to a 1:1 ratio or similar.
Type III products are CBD-dominant, with higher CBD and lower THC.
Within each chemovar type, terpene dominance adds another layer of detail that can help predict experience style more accurately than indica or sativa alone.
For example, a Type I product that is THC-dominant with myrcene as the leading terpene may be described very differently from a Type I product that is THC-dominant with limonene and pinene at the top of its terpene profile.
By combining chemovar type with terpene information, shoppers can make more informed choices about which products match the kind of experience they are looking for.
High Society highlights lab-tested THC, CBD, and terpene data on menus and product pages wherever possible so you can shop by chemovar style as well as by indica, sativa, or hybrid.
You can explore these details in real time on our order online page or ask a budtender at any of our Oklahoma locations to walk you through how chemovars show up on our shelves.
How Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid Are Commonly Described by Consumers
Indica-Leaning Products
Indica-leaning products are often described by customers as “body-heavy,” “deeply relaxing,” or having a strong “slow-down vibe.”
Many people associate these products with quieter settings, cozy nights in, and evening or wind-down routines, though everyone’s preferences are different.
In lab reports, indica-leaning items often show a THC-dominant or more balanced THC:CBD profile, with terpenes like myrcene, linalool, and β-caryophyllene appearing frequently.
These chemistry patterns are not strict rules, but they help explain why many indica-marketed products share similar aromas and general experience styles.
If you tend to gravitate toward this kind of feel, you can filter for indica or indica-leaning flower, vapes, and more on our online ordering page and pick up at your preferred High Society location.
Sativa-Leaning Products
Sativa-leaning products are commonly described as “uplifting,” “cerebral,” or bringing a “spark of energy” or “creative headspace.”
Many consumers associate sativa options with daytime or social activities, group sessions, or creative projects, although this varies by person.
On the chemistry side, sativa-leaning items are often THC-dominant with terpene profiles that highlight limonene, pinene, and terpinolene, and sometimes show relatively lower myrcene compared with heavier-feeling products.
These terpenes tend to be linked with brighter aromas such as citrus and pine, which match the descriptive language many people use for sativa-labeled strains.
You can explore sativa and sativa-dominant products on the High Society order online menu and then visit one of our dispensary locations to pick them up.
Hybrids (Balanced, Indica-Dominant, Sativa-Dominant)
Hybrids are blends of indica and sativa genetics and can lean toward either parent or sit somewhere in the middle.
Because of this, they are often marketed as indica-dominant hybrids, sativa-dominant hybrids, or balanced hybrids.
Indica-dominant hybrids are typically described as having a more body-oriented feel with some mental lift or mood change layered in.
Sativa-dominant hybrids are often talked about as a bit brighter or more mentally engaging while still offering some physical ease or softness.
Balanced hybrids are frequently described as “in-between,” “well-rounded,” or “a little bit of everything,” depending on the product and the individual.
Two hybrids with the same label can feel quite different because their cannabinoid and terpene profiles may not match, even if the marketing language sounds similar.
For that reason, it is helpful to look at the lab data behind the hybrid label when you shop our online menu or ask questions at your favorite High Society location.
How Product Type Changes the Experience (Beyond Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid)
Flower and Pre-Rolls
Flower and pre-rolls are inhaled products, which means many people notice an onset of effects within minutes and a relatively shorter overall duration compared with edibles.
Because you are experiencing the full aromatic profile as you inhale, the differences between indica, sativa, and hybrid can feel especially noticeable with flower.
The way the flower is cured, stored, and ground can also affect how it smells, tastes, and burns, which may influence your overall impression.
When you look at labels or our online ordering page, key details to check for flower include strain name, indica/sativa/hybrid type, THC and CBD percentages, dominant terpenes, test date, and producer.
You can also ask to see lab information in person at any High Society location if you like to compare batches side by side.
Vapes (Cartridges and Disposables)
Vape cartridges and disposables offer a similar onset speed to flower, but the oil inside can be made in different ways, such as distillate, live resin, live rosin, or other concentrates.
Distillate products often focus on THC combined with added terpenes, which may be cannabis-derived or botanical, while live resin and live rosin aim to preserve more of the original plant terpene profile.
Because of this, indica, sativa, and hybrid labels on vapes often reflect the terpene blend and intended effect style more than the exact plant structure the oil came from.
When you read vape packaging or product descriptions on our order online page, it can be helpful to look at cannabinoid content, terpene ingredients, hardware type (such as 510-thread cartridge or disposable pen), and batch testing information.
If you have questions about how a particular vape is made, our team at any High Society location can walk you through the options.
Edibles, Capsules, and Beverages
Edibles, capsules, and beverages are ingested products, so many people notice a slower onset and longer duration compared with inhaled formats.
After you swallow an edible, THC passes through the digestive system and liver, where it can be converted into a form known as 11-hydroxy-THC, which is often reported as feeling stronger or longer-lasting than inhaled THC.
Because the onset can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours for some people, cautious dosing and patience are especially important, regardless of whether the product is labeled indica, sativa, or hybrid.
A common guideline is to start with a low amount, wait to see how you feel, and only consider more after enough time has passed, rather than stacking doses too quickly.
On the High Society online ordering page, you can see the milligrams of THC and CBD per serving clearly listed for gummies, chocolates, capsules, and beverages before you choose a product to pick up at your preferred location.
Tinctures and Sublinguals
Tinctures and sublingual products are usually taken under the tongue with a dropper or spray, which can offer an intermediate onset between inhaled and fully ingested products.
Holding a tincture under the tongue for a short period before swallowing may allow some of the cannabinoids to absorb more quickly, though some still go through digestion.
These products often come with clearly marked droppers or dosing lines, which can help you keep track of how much you are taking each time.
Tinctures are available in a wide range of THC:CBD ratios and terpene profiles, giving you flexibility to experiment with what feels most comfortable.
You can compare different tinctures, their cannabinoid ratios, and recommended serving sizes on our order online page and then ask questions in person at any High Society location.
Topicals
Topicals are products such as lotions, balms, and salves that are intended for external use on the skin.
They are typically marketed as non-intoxicating when used as directed, meaning most people do not report experiencing a classic “high” from normal topical application.
Labels for topicals may still list cannabinoids and sometimes terpenes, but the focus is on where they are applied rather than inhaled or ingested use.
Even though topicals are used on the surface of the body, they should still be stored safely and kept away from children and pets.
You can browse topical options and their cannabinoid content on the High Society online menu or ask to see them in person at any of our Oklahoma dispensary locations.
All information in this section is provided for educational purposes only and is intended for adults of legal age and OMMA-licensed medical marijuana patients in Oklahoma.
How to Choose Between Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid – A Step-by-Step Framework
Step 1 – Clarify the Experience You’re After
Before you think about indica, sativa, or hybrid, it helps to decide what kind of experience you’re looking for right now.
Some neutral examples might be “something gentle for a weeknight,” “a more energetic weekend vibe,” or “a subtle, clear-headed option for taking it easy.”
You can also think about whether you want something that feels more mellow, more lively, or somewhere in the middle.
Context matters just as much as the label on the package, so consider whether you’ll be at home or out with friends, and whether it’s daytime, evening, or late at night.
Once you have that picture in mind, it becomes much easier to browse the High Society online menu or talk through options at one of our locations.
Step 2 – Consider Your Experience Level and Sensitivity
Next, be honest with yourself about your experience level and how sensitive you tend to be with cannabis.
Ask whether you would describe yourself as new, occasional, or a frequent consumer.
Think back to any times you felt “too high,” overstimulated, or overly sleepy, and use those memories as a guide for what you might want to avoid this time.
If you are newer or know you are sensitive, it is usually a good idea to start with lower THC options and consider balanced or CBD-forward products instead of the strongest items on the shelf.
On the High Society order online page, you can see THC and CBD percentages clearly listed, and our team at any location can help you identify gentler starting points if you prefer.
Step 3 – Choose a Product Type That Fits Your Comfort Level
Different product types can lead to very different timing and intensity, even if they share the same indica, sativa, or hybrid label.
Inhaled products like flower and vapes tend to have a faster onset and shorter duration, which some people like because it feels easier to take things one step at a time.
Edibles, capsules, and beverages usually take longer to kick in and last longer, which can be appealing for people who want a more extended experience and do not mind waiting.
Tinctures and sublingual products sit in the middle for many consumers, offering the flexibility to adjust drop by drop and experiment with timing.
Topicals are applied externally and are typically marketed as non-intoxicating when used as directed, which makes them a different category altogether.
There is no single “right” choice, so think about your comfort level with inhaling, swallowing, or applying a product and then explore matching options on our online ordering page or at a High Society dispensary.
Step 4 – Read the Label Like a Pro
Once you have a sense of experience style and product type, the next step is learning how to read the label.
Start with the indica, sativa, or hybrid tag, which serves as a quick effect-style category rather than a guarantee.
Then check the THC and CBD percentages so you have a sense of how intense the product might feel and whether it is more THC-dominant, balanced, or CBD-forward.
Look for any listed minor cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, or others, as these can also contribute to the overall character of the product.
Check the dominant terpenes, which may include names like myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool, or β-caryophyllene, and compare them to other products you have tried.
It is also important to note the batch test date, producer name, and lab information so you know the product has been tested according to Oklahoma regulations.
High Society menus, in-store signage, and our order online listings are designed to make these details easy to scan and compare side by side at any of our locations.
Step 5 – Keep a Simple “Cannabis Journal”
One of the easiest ways to learn what works for you is to keep a simple cannabis journal.
After you try a product, jot down the product name, whether it was labeled indica, sativa, or hybrid, and the THC and CBD percentages on the package.
Add any listed terpenes, your dose or amount, the time you consumed it, and a few notes about how the experience felt for you.
Over time, patterns tend to emerge, such as preferring limonene-forward hybrids for certain situations or enjoying myrcene-heavy options later in the evening.
You can then use your journal to filter options more effectively on our online menu or to have a more focused conversation with a budtender at any High Society location.
Responsible Use, Safety, and Compliance in Oklahoma
Adult-Only, Oklahoma-Only
High Society serves state-licensed medical marijuana patients and adult consumers in Oklahoma.
To purchase medical cannabis in Oklahoma, you must hold a valid OMMA patient license and present appropriate identification at the time of purchase.
Our products are intended for registered patients and adults of legal age only, and we do not sell to minors.
For the most up-to-date information on eligibility, licensing, and program rules, you can visit the official OMMA website directly from your browser.
We encourage anyone considering medical cannabis in Oklahoma to review OMMA guidelines in addition to exploring products through our online ordering system or in person at our locations.
General Safety and Side-Effect Awareness
Cannabis products that contain THC can come with side effects, and these can vary from person to person and from product to product.
Commonly reported side effects include dry mouth, red eyes, changes in perception of time, increased appetite, and impaired coordination or reaction time.
Some people may also experience short-term memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, or shifts in mood while under the influence of THC.
Because of these effects, it is important not to drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in tasks that require full attention and coordination after consuming cannabis.
Everyone has a different tolerance level, so it is important to pay attention to how you personally respond and to adjust your choices accordingly.
For specific medical questions or concerns, you should consult a licensed healthcare professional rather than relying solely on general educational content.
If you have questions about product labels, formats, or dosing ranges, our team at High Society can offer general guidance when you visit any location or browse our online menu.
“Start Low, Go Slow”
A widely shared principle for cannabis use is “start low, go slow,” especially with edibles, concentrates, and other high-potency products.
Starting low means choosing products with lower THC levels or taking a smaller amount at first, rather than jumping straight into a large dose.
Going slow means giving your body enough time to respond before deciding whether to consume more, which can be particularly important with edibles that may take longer to kick in.
This approach can help you avoid unintentionally intense experiences and gives you space to find the level that feels most comfortable for you.
Responsible use also includes being mindful of the people around you, respecting shared spaces, and storing your products securely.
Always keep cannabis products out of reach of children and pets, and use child-resistant storage whenever possible.
If you are unsure where to start, you can browse lower-dose options on our order online page or ask for help in person at any High Society dispensary.
OMMA and Product Testing
Oklahoma regulations require cannabis products to be tested for potency and certain contaminants before they are sold to consumers.
These tests are designed to measure cannabinoid levels such as THC and CBD and to check for things like residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbial impurities, according to state rules.
High Society features products that meet OMMA testing and labeling standards, and we prioritize transparency about what is in the items on our shelves.
Certificates of Analysis (COAs) from licensed labs are available for many of the products we carry, and these documents show detailed test results for each batch.
You can often access this information through QR codes or links on packaging, on our online ordering listings, or by asking staff at one of our locations.
For more detailed information about Oklahoma’s testing requirements, you can review current OMMA rules through official state resources.
Oklahoma-Specific Context – How Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid Show Up on High Society Menus
What You’ll See on the High Society Online Menu
When you open the High Society online menu, you’ll see that every product is tagged with key details to make browsing easier.
Flower, vapes, edibles, tinctures, and other products are labeled as Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid, reflecting how brands generally describe the experience style.
Alongside those tags, you’ll often see THC and CBD percentages, terpene highlights when available, product type, brand, and pricing.
These details help you quickly compare items and narrow down your options without having to click into every single product.
Many menus also offer filtering tools, allowing you to sort by category, potency range, price, and sometimes even by brand or strain name.
This makes it simple to, for example, view only indica-leaning flower in a certain THC range or browse hybrid gummies under a specific price point before heading to your preferred location.

Myth-Busting: Common Questions About Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid
“Is Indica Always ‘In-Da-Couch’ and Sativa Always Energizing?”
You’ve probably heard the saying “indica = in-da-couch” and seen sativa marketed as the “energizing” option.
These phrases are catchy, but real-world experiences vary a lot from person to person and from product to product.
Two products labeled indica can feel different, and the same is true for sativa and hybrid items.
A big reason for this is the underlying chemistry of the plant, including cannabinoids like THC and CBD and terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, and pinene.
Terpenes help shape aroma and may influence how the experience is perceived, while individual tolerance, dose, and setting all play major roles in how something actually feels.
When you shop at High Society through our online menu or in person at a location, it helps to look beyond the label and consider terpene and potency information as well.
“Do Indica Strains Always Have More CBD?”
A common myth is that indica strains always contain more CBD and sativa strains always contain more THC.
Testing data from modern labs does not support a simple rule where indica automatically equals higher CBD or where sativa automatically equals higher THC.
Instead, cannabinoid levels vary by cultivar, grower, and batch, regardless of whether the product is marketed as indica, sativa, or hybrid.
Because of this, it is important to check the actual THC and CBD percentages on the lab-tested label rather than relying on assumptions based on the category name.
High Society lists THC and CBD content for our products on the order online page, and our team at any location can help you read and compare those numbers in person.
“Are Hybrids Always 50/50?”
“Hybrid” simply means a product comes from mixed lineage that includes both indica and sativa genetics.
It does not automatically mean the plant is a perfect 50/50 split between the two.
Some hybrids are indica-dominant, some are sativa-dominant, and others are closer to balanced in how they are bred and marketed.
The exact proportions of indica and sativa heritage can lean strongly in one direction or sit somewhere in the middle, which is why hybrid experiences can vary so much.
When browsing our online menu, you’ll often see hybrids labeled as indica-leaning, sativa-leaning, or balanced, and you can always ask about lineage when you visit a High Society dispensary.
“Do Terpenes Matter, or Are They Just About Smell?”
Terpenes are not just about smell, even though aroma and flavor are the most obvious ways you notice them.
They contribute to the overall taste, scent, and subjective feel of a cannabis product and help explain why two items with similar THC percentages can still feel different.
Many consumers find that they gravitate toward certain terpene profiles, such as myrcene-heavy options for a slower vibe or limonene-forward options for a brighter, more citrusy character.
Because terpenes can play such a big role in how products are perceived, many brands and dispensaries, including High Society and our partners, highlight them on labels and in menus.
You can see terpene information for many products on our order online page and ask for guidance on terpene-driven choices at any of our locations.
“If I Liked One Product, Will Every Strain With the Same Name Feel the Same?”
Even if you loved a particular product once, the same strain name from a different producer or batch might not feel identical.
Strain names are not standardized across the entire industry, and different growers may use the same name for plants with slightly different genetics or growing conditions.
Factors such as cultivation methods, climate, nutrients, harvest timing, curing, and storage can all influence the final chemovar, even when the strain name is the same.
As a result, it is better to look at COAs (Certificates of Analysis), cannabinoid percentages, and terpene profiles for each batch rather than assuming the name alone guarantees the same experience.
High Society makes it easy to check this information through packaging, available COAs, and product details on our online menu, and our staff at any location can help you compare similar strains before you decide.
“Is Cannabis Legal Where I Live?”
This article is written with Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program in mind and focuses on how High Society operates within that framework.
In Oklahoma, medical cannabis is regulated by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), and patients must hold a valid OMMA license and meet age and identification requirements to purchase.
Cannabis laws vary widely from state to state and from country to country, and they can change over time.
If you live outside Oklahoma, you should check the current laws and regulations in your own area rather than assuming Oklahoma’s rules apply where you are.
Nothing in this article should be interpreted as legal advice, and we always recommend consulting official state or local resources for the most accurate legal information, in addition to exploring products via our order online page or visiting our Oklahoma locations.
Final Thoughts – Using Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid as Smart Starting Points
Indica, sativa, and hybrid are helpful shortcuts that give a quick idea of how a cannabis product is commonly described, but they are only part of the story.
The most reliable guide to how a product might feel comes from its full lab profile—THC, CBD, minor cannabinoids, and terpenes—combined with your own experience, preferences, and tolerance.
Approaching cannabis slowly, responsibly, and with curiosity is a practical way to learn what works for you without rushing into overly intense experiences.
Paying attention to dose, timing, product type, and context helps you make more thoughtful choices each time you shop.
If you would like to explore indica, sativa, and hybrid options in more detail, you can browse the High Society online menu to compare lab-tested products side by side.
You are also welcome to stop by any of our Oklahoma City-area locations to talk with a knowledgeable, friendly budtender about products that align with your comfort level and preferred experience style.
