Know your weed - Indica or Sativa?

When it comes to smoking pot - we all have our particular taste for different brands and flavors: some like a straight-forward buzz, some go for the hazier effect, some like high potency, and some want the low THC brands. However, there is one thing nearly all marijuana brands have in common: it is either Sativa or Indica. In this article we will try and settle the ground basis for telling the difference between the two:


In general, Sativa is characterised by a tall growth habit, slender fingered leaves, lowish flower to leaf ratio and rather long flowering period.

Indica is characterised by a bushier growth pattern with wider fingered leaves, a higher flower to leaf ratio and a shorter, more predictable flowering period.

When smoked, sativa gives a clear, up, cerebral high while indica produces a 'stonier' more physical hit. In the last few decades, enthusiasts have created sativa/indica hybrids which combine the best features of both varieties.

By now you should be able to guess which brand is what, so here goes:
