Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

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.

They are notoriously protective of their coveted strain. One of those patients was a friend of mine, Koots, who went through Bio-Diesel by the ounce in 2009 and 2010. In one of his batches of Bio-Diesel, Koots pulled out about 20 mature seeds. He is a grower, and had been trying to procure a cut from the shop once he realized the medical potency of the Bio. Denver Relief was not selling, donating, or gifting cuttings to anyone. Koots said even their employee’s told him they weren’t allowed cuttings. Koots began going through these seeds immediately and began selecting for a cut that most res
