Sativa Plants

Sativa is a clean high . Usually a citrus smell and high in THC content with a higher level of CBD compared to Indica Strains (more about this below). Sativa has narrow, longer leafs, usually more leafs like 13 comapred to 8 or 9 on an Indica plant. Sativa plants produce less bud weight than Indica, flowering takes weeks longer and it grows very tall.

Almost all drug dealers grow Indica because it's more profitable and because it doesn't grow as tall as Sativa, it's easier to hide in corn fields. Sativa is something you can smoke and still be able to concentrate. It will not make you crash out on the couch or place you in a wheelchair. Sativa is for the true cannabis connaisseur. It's too bad more dealer don't supply us with Sativa. Truth is most North Ameriacans have not even smoked Sativa before. Morrocco and Thailand are famous for thier Sativa Pot. Hashish tends to give a cleaner high because most if it is imported from Morrocco and is made from Sativa.

Comaparison of 100% Sativa and 90% Sativa

 
A look at 100% Indica and 90% Indica

 

Sativas are originally from Mexico, Southeast Asia, Thailand and Colombia. Sativa plants are tall and thin, generally between 8 and 12 feet. You can say that a sativa is exactly the opposite of indica. The plant is thin, the leaves are narrower with a lighter green color. A sativa bud will become red as they mature in a warm environment and can turn to purple if they mature in a colder environment. Some sativa varieties can have yellow pigments. Sativa plants smell fresh, sweet and fruity and the smoke will get you cerebral, up and energetic giving a clear, up, cerebral high.

Well known sativa strains are: Haze, Jack Herer

Chemical Make up of Cannabis

Cannabis is the only plant that produces chemicals called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are
ingredients unique to cannabis; the psychoactive cannabinoids are responsible for the mind-bending effects of marijuana. Some cannabinoids get you high. Around 40 cannabinoids exist, but not are not psychoactive.

D9 THC, the main ingredient that gets you high, is called:
D9-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol. All cannabis, whether industrial hemp or drug marijuana, contains some D9 THC. Industrial hemp cannabis contains infinitesimal amounts while dried flower tops (buds) of potent marijuana can contain up to 25 percent D9 THC. In potent varieties of marijuana, perhaps all of the mind-bending effects are derived from D9 THC.

D8 THC is found in very low concentrations in cannabis. It also gets you high, but there is so little D8 THC in most cannabis that researchers, breeders and growers concentrate on the more abundant and potent D9 THC. To simplify matters we will refer to both D9 THC and D8 THC as THC.

Cannabidiol, known as CBD, also appears in all varieties of cannabis. The amount of CBD can widely vary, trace amounts to more than 95 percent of all cannabinoids present in a plant. CBD generally has a sedative effect regarding the high you experience. CBD, when combined with THC, tends to postpone the beginning of the high, but, the good
part is that CBD can make it last twice as long. Whether CBD increases or decreases the force of the high is subjective and must be discerned by each smoker.

Cannabinol, or CBN, is produced as THC oxidizes or degrades. Only a trace of CBN exists in fresh bud. Stored and cured tops or hashish have higher levels of CBN, that has converted from THC. Marijuana with high levels of CBN generally make the toker feel disoriented and often sleepy or groggy, often referred to as a stupefying high. At best CBN contains only 10 percent of the psychoactive potency of the original THC.
Tetrahydrocnnabivarin, called THCV, is the shorter three-carbon propyl that replaces the five-carbon pentyl chain. This compound is associated with the fragrance of the plant. In other words, very pungent smelling marijuana normally contains THCV. Warmer temperatures bring out more smell. THCV is found in very potent marijuana that originated in Southeast and Central Asia as well as regions in Africa. Concentrations
of THCV usually make the high come on quicker and disappear sooner. There is still much research to do on this cannabinoid. Cannabichromene, or CBC, may make up to 20 percent of the cannabinoid profile in a plant. Little study has been done on this cannabinoid. So far, researchers believe that it may interact with THC to make the high
more intense.
