Everyone knows I love the hit series "Weeds". In case you're not familiar I'm going to provide you with a quick & easy summary. The show "Weeds" revolves around a newly widowed housewife who resides in Californian suburb, who becomes the neighborhood's pot dealer to make ends meat. Along the way she gets into big trouble, shake downs, debt, fake dummy corporations, and slowly destroy her children upbringing.With the help of her grower... they come up with a breed/brand of marijuana which become known as MILF WEED (which doesn't really exist). This sparked my interest on the whole subject of "Weed". So, I did some research, and this is what I found out....Marijuana is broken into two categories:
Indica and SativaINDICA= Fat Leaves and Short Bush
SATIVA= Thin Leaves and Tall Bush
Indica has a higher CBD than THC equals heavier, sleepy type of high. Yield is usually higher than Sativa, and shorter growing season. Better for indoor growing, because they don't get as tall. Sativa has a higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic Yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent. Sativa grow taller and have a longer flowering period, so they are better suited for outdoors.
Sativa's typically take longer to germinate and flower, and they grow more gangly then Indica breeds.
Combining different indicas, different sativas or a combination thereof creates hybrids. The resulting hybrid strains will grow, mature and smoke in relationship to the Indica/Sativa percentages they end up containing.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don't get high.
CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.
THC is the main psychotomimetic (mindbending) ingredient of marijuana. The highest percentage of THC that can found in Cannabis is 30 percent.
Cannabidiol - CBD also occurs in almost all strains. Concentration range from none, to about 95 percent of the total cannabinoids present. THC and CBD are the two most abundant naturally occurring cannabinoids. CBD is not psychotomimetic in the pure form, although it does have sedative, analgesic, and antibiotic properties.
