What is the difference between all the different types of marijuana?
There is one species of marijuana (cannabis sativa), and about 5 subspecies: sativa dominant, indica, african, skunk, and ruderalis. All marijuana comes from the female flowers of any of these plants, and they all have the same botanical parts In those species it is divided into strains, which all have the same botany, but have asthetic difference like different colours, densities, hair lengths, sizes, smells ect. Think of it like this related to people: you have a population or species (human), then subpecies (races), then strains (families) the only difference between them all is the genetic traits of -strains-, which change what each weed looks and feels like. The potency is from a natural hormone in all types of cannabis, called THC – the amount of THC in each plant is dependant on the parent plants they came from and the growing conditions (aka nature and nurture), exactly like it is with everything else thats alive on this planet.
