What are the different types of cannabis What are the different types of cannabis? The most common classification of cannabis strains based on the appearance of the plant is the subdivision in indica-type strains with shorter growth heights and broader leaves as well as those of the sativa type that grow taller and have narrower leaves. Indica Plants mature faster under similar growing conditions and typically grow faster than sativa types. They also tend to a slightly different smell, which is an indication of one different terpene composition, because the Smell of cannabis plants is based on their Composition of essential oils i.e. terpenes. In addition, cannabis strains can be classified based on their proportions of important cannabinoids, especially THC and CBD, CBG and CBA to help classify. There are strains with very high THC concentrations, that contain little CBD, those with balanced concentrations of both cannabinoids and those with a lot of CBD and little THC. Investigations have already shown that the Content of the most important cannabinoids THC and CBD is due to many years of breeding the different varieties - today no relevant information on the distinction between cannabis sativa and indica is clear. There was formerly Cannabis indica (or Indian hemp) which was richer in THC than the European sativa strains. CBD rich strains are being increasingly grown and developed in Australia for extraction into medical grade full spectrum CBD oil. This oil was recently made legal in Australia by the TGA and is now available to buy online or in pharmacies which is great news for consumers. How is cannabis sativa different to indica? The high produced by sativa strains is often referred to as described as stimulating and energizing and as a "head High” characterized by shorter and stronger effects. It can have hallucinogenic effects in many. Sativa’s convey a sense of optimism and wellbeing. Today there are pure sativa’s with very high THC concentrations through hydroponic growth. Sativa strains are considered better suitable for taking during the day. In contrast, the effects of cannabis are indica characterized by the term "body high". indica Varieties are used primarily for relaxation, Stress reduction as well as for a general feeling of applied calm and serenity. It is therefore advisable mainly in the evening or when you are insomniac to take. The terpene composition gives some clues to the possible differences in effect between the sativa and Indica strains. So pointed out in a study by Sydney University in Australia in 2019 - the indica strain studied in a chemical Analysis had twice the concentration of alpha-pinene than a comparable sativa variety. Terpenes in hemp and their role Since alpha pinene can Counteract the effects of THC, it could be responsible that short-term memory disruption by consuming the indica strain is not disturbed as much as the sativa strain Variety. So, indica could cause less memory loss. The indica strain also contained four times more myrcene than the sativa variety. This Terpene is known for its sedative effects, a characteristic indica trait. The Concentrations of beta-caryophyllene and the cannabinoids CBC and above especially CBG were significantly higher in the sativa variety than in the indica strain. This, however, had a significant higher concentration of myrcene. Why cannabis such an unusual plant is In view of the numerous effects of the just listed ingredients of the hemp plant is surprising not that it occupies a special role in medicine. Most people represented in my experience, spontaneously took the view that Cannabis and cannabis-based medicines as well should be treated like other medicinal plants and medication. More and more individuals are discussing how CBD can benefit them. The key difference between Cannabis products and classic medicines in that cannabis grows like weed – its easy for anyone to produce. Everyone who Can grow cabbages is also able to grow cannabis. Cannabis would therefore be like chamomile and Peppermint readily available as a medicinal herb if not would be forbidden. Medicines made by pharmaceutical manufacturers are brought to the market are often only after many years available for patients. Until a new one drug comes onto the market, pass an average of twelve years in which the substance in different stages, first in animal experiments, then in healthy volunteers and later to patients regarding safety, tolerability and effectiveness are tested. This is clearly useful and necessary. But what if there was one plants that unite in their blossoms and leaves potentially beneficial agent for chronic pain, depression, anxiety disorders, epilepsy, loss of appetite, anxiety and other illnesses? Well the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis make it a silver bullet from a therapeutic standpoint for many. Already there are millions of medical cannabis users globally, including in Australia who purport numerous benefits to their daily symptoms, plus enhanced life quality.
