Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Sativa 100%
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.

About Orange River
Orange River is a landrace/ heirloom strain from the mountainous regions of Lesotho in Southern Africa. Seeds were obtained in the early 2000’s by a friend living abroad, whose family was working in some capacity with the Lesotho water project, a series of dams and tunnels providing a supply of water through Lesotho and into South Africa. The plants grow into long colas w/ an abundance of hairs and small bracts. 3-4x stretch in flower. The smell is distinctly licorice/ anise, with one genotype that throws some purple and smelled of carpet glue and burnt rubber. With no ceiling to speak of, effects can range anywhere from an energetic, get things accomplished, focused kind of buzz all the way to “I’m way too high, I think I just blacked out, fell down the stairs and broke my collar bone” w/ higher doses. （Ask me how I know, lol）
