Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

Keeping it pressed preserved the quality, it wasn't until the 1920's that hash started leaving these areas in quantity. More so in the 1950's with the Beat movement, the Hippie Trail in the 60-70's wiped out most of the old stores and to keep up with world demand. Like in the country of Afghanistan which enjoyed many years of peace with King Zahir Shah. The King of Afghanistan, wanted to increase output and encouraged the hashish making families to incorporate the broad lead varieties because they finished faster and produced more resin then the high quality narrow leaf varieties. So in favor of yields over quality, much of the hashish that left post 70 was still great but lost quality it once had. Many of the plants which we
