Marijuana has many names: cannabis, cannabis indica, cannabis sativa, marihuana, hemp, even cannabis American us but they are all the same plant. Marijuana is used for many different purposes in many different areas.
It has a long history of use by man. Some think it's evil, some think it's useful, some think it's harmless and fun. Western science is re-discovering much that was traditionally known about marijuana's uses before it was stigmatized.
Oriental medicine has, in contrast, never stopped using marijuana as a basic part of it's pharmacology.With more time and the increased use and de-sigmafication of marijuana we can be sure that new medical breakthroughs are coming.
At this time the uses of medical marijuana are still being developed Trials and experiments are constantly occurring Novel methods of cooking with herb, and other ways to ingest the plant are being pioneered.You can split the marijuana world down the middle into indica and sativa.
These two types can be further divided into all sorts of sub-strains Breeders have further multiplied these by selective breeding The result is thousands and thousands of strains and names
With varying characteristics, effects and profile,each is quite different.Indicas mature faster than sativas, both in the vegetative stage and in the bloom They arose in North Africa, Tibet, Pakistan and Afghanistan Traditionally producers of hash, indica lends itself to the practice
Indicas are short, darker green, and have wide leaves After flowering starts they're mature in 6 -8 weeks The buds are stinky and big They are great for pain blocking and management, and so are good for medicinal marijuana The size and shape of indica make it a good candidate for indoor gardens.
Sativas grow slower and grow taller than indicas. They are harder to grow indoors, and are hard to grow outside as you get further north. They grow in places like Mexico, Colombia, the Caribbean and South east Asia.
They can grow as high as 20 feet outside In addition to being longer, taller and skinneir than indicas, they are also lighter green They take longer to complete the flowering cycle as well Pure sativas can cause an irregular heartbeat and paranoia This restricts their medical use
That doesn't mean sativas don't have medical uses There are many types of both sativas and indicas They can be selectively bred with each other That creates new combinations of effects - some are enhanced and other diminished.
Breeders try to do exactly that -develop new strains with desirable effects They try to develop what users need and desire This has created more crosses and hybrids than pure strains The results are indica/sativa hybrds, with the predominant strain being the first named in the combination
Sativa crosses are moderated by indica qualities Reverse the combination and you have an indica moderated by sativa qualities If you use indica to reduce a saliva's paranoiac effects you make it more useful and exploit the motivational effects of sativa They have anti-depressive applications and are good appetite stimulants.Right now the indicas are the most popular medicinal marijuana because of their pain management qualities Nor then Lights, a popular indica hybrid,was the first hybrid I ever grew.
