 Classroom Chalkboard
The differences between Indicas, Sativas, and Hybrids
Indica has short and stubby leaves while Sativa has long and pointy leaves. In
terms of effect, Sativas produce an energetic 'high' while Indicas produce a re-
laxed 'stone'. In terms of growth, Indicas grow faster (around a month faster).
Cannabis that contains both Sativa and Indica cannabis is referred to as a
'hybrid'. Sativa dominant means the cannabis hybrid is mostly Sativa and vice –
versa for Indica.
