Hemp refers to Cannabis Sativa varieties that have very low levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid that produces the high of marijuana. Sativa plants tend to be taller, with narrow leaves and a longer cycle from seed to harvest. Generally speaking, Indica plants tend to be shorter, with broader leaves and a shorter flowering time. The terms Indica and Sativa refer solely to the morphology of the plant (how it looks and grows) and have nothing to do with the actual chemical profile of the plant (which determines the high/effects caused by the herb in question). Scientifically speaking, that’s simply not the case. Conventional wisdom holds that Indica strains produce a laid back, relaxing high, while Sativa strains are upbeat, energetic, and better for the daytime.

There is perhaps no more contentious discussion in cannabis than what makes a plant an Indica, and what is a Sativa. The vast majority of the weed we all know and love, and consume, falls into one of those first two categories. Within the Cannabis genus, we can find the hemp species Cannabis sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis. The genus Cannabis (Family Cannabacae) represents a number of plant species and many cultivated varieties therein. These are the three most common scientific terms: Cannabis
