Focus on Sativa feet

Cannabis Sativa belongs to the large family of trees and herbaceous plants, also known as Cannabaceae. These plants originate from the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. However, Cannabis Sativa can be grown in intertropical regions, such as Congo, Thailand, and Jamaica.

The origins of this species are also found in Mexico and Cambodia. Sativa plants have a large appearance, with long, dense buds. A Sativa plant is estimated to be 1.80 meters tall. The flowers of this variety are light green in color. They grow between the nodes of the branches and take the form of a cluster.

Sativa plants owe their shape to the short sunlight they receive. Because they are larger, they take longer to flower. Depending on the strain, flowering can last between 10 and 18 weeks.

When it comes to flavor, Sativas offer a wide spectrum of aromas. They generally feature floral and tropical flavors. This is largely due to their region of origin.

However, the flavor differences between one strain and another are not unnoticeable. Some strains offer a pungent, citrusy, or earthy taste. In addition, cannabis Sativa has a stimulating character . It offers powerful cerebral effects and is conducive to energy production.

Zoom in on Indica's feet

Indica is suitable for growing at high altitudes . It can be grown in dry, cold, and arid areas of regions such as Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan. It also thrives in some hot and humid areas: Tibet, Nepal, Turkey, and Morocco. Hindu Kush, one of the oldest Indica cannabis strains, has its origins in northern Central Asia.

It also gets its name from this region, more precisely from the Hindu Kush Valley. Unlike Sativas, Indica plants have a shorter appearance. Most of these plants barely reach 90 cm. The bushy branches of Indica are adorned with flowers in the shape of hollow nodes, with leaves that are shorter but wider than the Sativa leaf. These leaves are generally dark green.

Indica strains capture much more sunlight due to their geographical location. They also grow much faster, taking between 8 and 10 weeks to flower. In terms of aroma, indicas are generally distinguished by fruity and sweet flavors.

Some strains, such as Shunk or hybrid species, have a woody aroma with spicy, full-bodied flavors. Indica cannabis offers a rather relaxing effect, promoting rest and prolonged relaxation.

Sativa and Indica in THC and CBD

Being both derivatives of hemp, cannabis sativa and cannabis indica contain both THC and cannabidiol. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, has psychoactive properties. In other words, it can cause addiction and side effects such as nausea and bad trips.

Unlike THC, cannabidiol is more harmless. Its molecules promote relaxation. Sativa extracts generally have a higher THC content than their cannabidiol content. This is what promotes the energy boost enjoyed by the user . Indicas, on the other hand, are more concentrated in cannabidiol and therefore more conducive to relaxation.

In France , cannabidiol is an authorized product, but under certain conditions. When cannabidiol strains contain THC whose concentration is higher than 0,3%, the product is considered prohibited, therefore forbidden. You can therefore consume Indica or Sativa while respecting the prescribed doses for these different products.
