More Cannabis Information

Indica and Sativa

There are two main types of cannabis: Indica and Sativa. It is from these two families that the hundreds of different cannabis strains originate. Some strains are pure Indicas, some are pure Sativas, and others are hybrids of the two.

Hybridized strains are created through selective cross-pollination of different cannabis varieties.
