Posted: January 03, 2011 – SOURCE – STICKYGUIDE<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n StickyType is a medical marijuana classification system that StickyGuide created to help dispensaries and patients easily identify common traits in cannabis. The StickyType for a flower can include four indicators: strength, type, flavor and density. A subset of these indicators can be used to classify other types of medical marijuana like concentrates, edibles, seeds and clones. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can utilize the StickyType indicators in several ways at StickyGuide. When a dispensary posts a new medicine to its StickyGuide menu, it can include a StickyType for the medicine, so you can quickly and easily identify its characteristics. You can also filter a dispensary’s menu by StickyType or even search all the menus in your area by StickyType. For example, you could filter a dispensary’s menu to only display sour flavored sativas with a moderate strength and fluffy density. Likewise, you could search all the menus in your area for medicines with these characteristics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, when patients post medicine reviews to StickyGuide, they can specify a StickyType for the medicine. This information can be helpful in gathering additional assessments of a medicine’s traits independent of the information provided by the dispensary.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As patients become more experienced with medical cannabis strains, they typically form a preference to certain medicine strengths, types, flavors and densities. These preferences can be defined as a patient’s StickyType. When you sign-up as a user at StickyGuide, you can declare your preferred StickyType in the sidebar of your user profile page. Adding this information allows StickyGuide to recommend medicines that suit your specific tastes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Type<\/strong> indicator classifies the plant from which the medical marijuana was derived as being a sativa, indica, or a hybrid of both indica and sativa. This indicator provides a general understanding of how the medicine might affect you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flavor<\/strong> describes the taste of medical marijuana when smoked or vaporized, and is grouped into four categories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Density<\/strong> grades the cure and construction of medical marijuana.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When evaluating a medicine based on its StickyType, remember that these classifications can be subjective. One patient may react differently to a medicine than another, so it’s important to always medicate in small doses when trying a new medicine, and realize that your experience could be different than others that have used the same medicine. The StickyType should never be construed as medical advice or used as a substitute for professional medical treatment.<\/p>\nA Guide to the StickyType Cannabis Classification System<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

The Strength<\/strong> indicator defines the medicine’s potency on a scale from 1 to 3 with 3 being the most potent. When medical marijuana is more potent, less needs to be consumed to attain a desired effect. Also, a more potent medicine’s effects typically last for a longer period of time than less potent medicine.<\/p>\nType<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sativa<\/strong> medicines typically have a cerebral effect. They can elevate mood, enhance creativity and increase concentration. Sativa medical marijuana strains have an energetic quality, making them a good daytime medication. However, too large of a dosage can induce anxiety in some patients.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/62\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_type_i.jpg?w=640\")
Indica<\/strong> medicines typically have a physical effect that some patients describe as a calming, heavy weight across the body. They can reduce pain and nausea, and are known to stimulate appetite. Indica medical marijuana generally has a sedative effect that can serve as a sleep aid.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/61\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_type_h.jpg?w=640\")
Hybrid<\/strong> medicines are created by crossing the genetics of a sativa and indica plant. A hybrid classification is typically applied to medical marijuana with a blend of 50% sativa and 50% indica, but can also be applied for hybrids where the sativa\/indica ratio is unknown. The indica presence in a hybrid can cut the edge of its sativa-based stimulating properties, and add a physical component to the medicine’s effects. While the sativa in a hybrid can counter the sedative effects of the medicine’s indica presence, and add a cerebral dimension to its qualities.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/63\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_type_si.jpg?w=640\")
\nSativa dominant hybrid<\/strong> medicines have a stronger presence of sativa and its characteristics than of indica.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/65\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_type_is.jpg?w=640\")

\nDense<\/strong> describes medical marijuana that is tightly constructed and heavy in weight. Medicines classified as dense are typically the most desirable form of medical marijuana.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/58\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_density_f.jpg?w=640\")
\nFluffy<\/strong> describes medical marijuana classified that is less compact in construction and lighter in weight, and is often cured to contain more moisture.<\/p>\n![\"StickyGuide](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/stickyguide-production\/blog\/images\/55\/large\/sg_blog_stickytype_density_c.jpg?w=640\")
\nCrunchy<\/strong> describes medical marijuana that contains very little moisture. Medicines with a crunchy density can crush into a powder when broken apart.<\/p>\n
