Introduction to Cannabis
Landrace strains are cannabis varieties that evolved naturally in specific geographic regions without human hybridization.
Examples include:
Indica Landraces: Afghanistan, Pakistan (e.g., Hindu Kush)
Sativa Landraces: Thailand, Mexico, Colombia (e.g., Acapulco Gold)
Key Differences in Effects:
Indica: Known for sedative effects, "body high," pain relief, and relaxation. Typically shorter, bushier plants with broad leaves. Often used for sleep, anxiety, or muscle relaxation.
Sativa: Uplifting and energizing, providing a cerebral "head high." These plants are taller with narrow leaves and are often used for creativity, focus, and daytime use.
