Different Types of Weed
Cannabis is the oldest known culture to mankind, dating back to its inception on this planet. Ancient civilizations cultivated vigorous and hardy plants for both medical and industrial purposes. Until the early 20th century, hemp was widely used for the production of medicines, tinctures, ointments, fabrics, and paper. This plant is not considered a psychoactive drug. In the United States, with the beginning of mass migration from the South, marijuana was smoked by the visiting Mexicans. Then this fashion passed into the rave movement of jazz. In those days, jazz was associated with drugs and crime, and if a young girl from a respectable family came to the company of “jazzmen”, then her family worried that she had been “seduced in the wrong company”.
Understanding the Definitions. The psychoactive properties of hemp have been successfully used in religious and medical needs. The plant properties gave it one of the famous slang names – “marijuana”. The word “marijuana” comes from the Portuguese “mariguango” (which means “strong”). English-speaking representatives of the human race find it easier to understand the nuances of the cannabis name. The herb that has a narcotic action is usually called: cannabis, marijuana, weed, hash or pot. For the culture of an industrial subtype (not possessing psychoactive abilities), the word “hemp” is often used.
What Are The Types Of Weed? The name of this annual plant is known to everyone. It raises a smirk among young people and the hostility of the older generation. However, not everyone knows that in addition to smoking for pleasure, it is also used for other purposes. So what is cannabis? And what are the types of weed?
Sativa Sativa is one of the main classes of weed. Sativa tends to be more stimulating in comparison with the other types of weed. Sativa is actively cultivated in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and several African countries. It is an annual plant with a firm root. A strong root system allows you to extend the stem up to 2 meters in length. Its strains are tall and gangly. The Sativa plant has thin leaves. The flowering of culture begins in the late summer and early autumn. Cannabis Sativa affects the mood and consciousness of many people. Sativa is known for its daytime high, which creates a cerebral energy that makes focusing an enjoyable experience, without diminishing your productivity. Moreover, the Sativa plant can increase your creative and non-standard thinking. Artists, musicians, and actors typically use Sativa, since it tends to enhance their creativity. Sativa is considered to be beneficial since it increases focus. Due to its quality, it is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Furthermore, Sativa’s effects on fighting depression and anxiety make the plant extremely popular. Sativa strains are also used by people who are suffering from issues such as mood disorders, fatigue, etc.
Indica Indica strains originate in the Asian and Indian continents. The cultivation of this flower takes from 45 to 60 days. Suitable for growing indoors, this plant typically features broad leaves. It is usually short and sturdy. In comparison to the Sativa plant, Indica plants tend to grow shorter and bushier. Its buds have intense aromas. This class of weed can help to treat numerous disorders, such as anxiety and insomnia. Furthermore, it also plays a part in alleviating various chronic pains. People who suffer from a loss of appetite also use Indica to stimulate their appetite.
Ruderalis. This short and stalky plant, which is not so popular as Sativa and Indica, offers numerous benefits. It typically ranges from 1 to 2.5 feet tall at harvest. The growth pattern of this plant is rugged and shaggy. Moreover, it produces broad leaflets. The colour of its leaves is light greenish.

Furthermore, the stems are sturdy and thick, providing support to the small and chunky buds. A significant difference between cannabis Ruderalis and other cannabis variants, i.e. Sativa and Indica, is its flowering cycle. While the flowering cycle of the other weed variants (Indica and Sativa) is induced by photoperiod, Ruderalis is activated according to its maturity. Ruderalis tend to have a low concentration of THC; therefore, their potency level is also low.
Hybrids Hybrids are the mixture of Indica and Sativa, — two main cannabis classes. Hybrids often provide a more balanced combination with enhanced benefits of both these classes of cannabis. In Hybrid plants, either Sativa or Indica can be dominant. The effects, structure, taste, aroma, and all other properties depend on the class domination of the cannabis plant. If Indica is the dominant class, there will be more effects of Indica as compared to Sativa and vice versa. There are three categories of Hybrid strains: Sativa-dominant, Indica dominant, and the last one — balanced. Sativa-dominant class offers a relaxing body feeling. Furthermore, it gives a heady high. Users of Hybrid strains falling into this category typically enjoy a relaxing and unwinding mental and physical experience.

On the other hand, Indica-dominant Hybrids typically give a strong high. Hence, they are considered ideal for alleviating moderate pain. As for balanced Hybrids, they tend to provide a balanced feel.
Summary: This section explains the various types of weeds and their properties. Each of them has its own shape and size, as well as an effect on the human mood and consciousness. It should be said that all types of the cannabis plant are considered to have a bright future ahead, as a remarkable medicine that is non-addictive and efficient.
