These features make sativa plants challenging to miss because they are in contrast to the biological features found in Cannabis indica.<\/p>\n<p>Cannabis sativa is capable of <strong>growing up to 5 meters<\/strong> and on due to the competition found in their natural environments. In tropical latitudes, plants grow vertically because they\u2019re in constant competition with other plants to reach the sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Sativa varieties are accustomed to long flowering periods due to their season with more extended periods of daylight (summer). These periods last longer than colder climates; therefore <strong>the flowering process of sativa plants take 1-3 months longer than their indica counterparts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sativa plants originated from regions such as <strong>Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Southern India, Central\/South America, and from the vast tropics of South East Asia<\/strong>. Sativa plants thrived in these wet and humid environments. Due to their origins, sativa plants have a high tolerance for heat and humidity.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from their tall stature, the leaves found on Cannabis sativa varieties are easy to spot. The<em> \u201cfingers\u201d<\/em> on the leaf are many, usually <strong>9-12<\/strong>, and extremely thin with a defined razor edge. The buds found on sativa varieties tend to be large and spear-like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabis_indica\"><\/span>Cannabis indica<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The biological features found in <i>Cannabis indica <\/i>are generally the opposite found in sativa. They are squat and<strong> bushy, short flowering, suited for colder climates, and have a broader leaf structure.<\/strong> Over countless years of adaptation, <i>Cannabis indica<\/i> has managed to spread across the globe with ease.<\/p>\n<p><i>Cannabis indica <\/i>usually is short in stature, and <strong>grow bushy rather than in the Christmas tree shape found in sativa<\/strong>. Indica plants typically don\u2019t grow larger<strong> than 3 meters<\/strong> but do spread out. Since indica plants are not desperately fighting their neighbors for sunlight, they\u2019re allowed to become wider than tall.<\/p>\n<p>Indica plants usually flower<strong> in 7-8 weeks<\/strong> because of the shorter summer sunlight and because of the impending fall season. Indica plants have been forced to adapt to a short growing season; therefore they flower much faster than sativas.<\/p>\n<p><i>Cannabis indica<\/i> originated in <strong>Pakistan, Northern India, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tibet, and other temperate zones throughout the world<\/strong>. These regions are mountainous or deserts, with frigid winters and an overall harsh environment. This makes most indica varieties drought tolerant, adapted to lower temperatures and fast flowering.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves found on indica varieties tend to have less<em> \u201cfingers\u201d<\/em> and are generally wider than sativa. The buds that grow on indica plants are usually small and extremely dense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabis_ruderalis\"><\/span>Cannabis ruderalis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Cannabis ruderalis<\/i> is not well understood by the cannabis community. The reason is that ruderalis<strong> doesn\u2019t produce much THC<\/strong>, grows extremely small, and is prone to flowering at a certain age rather than through photoperiods like indica and sativa.<\/p>\n<p>Mainly found in countries such as <strong>Russia and Siberia<\/strong>, these plants are used to mild conditions during the summer. Ruderalis plants are treated more like weeds due to their insignificant amounts of THC.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be surprised to find out that autoflowering cannabis strains are hybrids based on ruderalis plants. Breeders have used <i>Cannabis ruderalis<\/i> for its unique <strong>characteristic of autoflowering<\/strong> to introduce into their own hybrids to increase bud production and THC content.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29012\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29012\" style=\"width: 565px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29012 size-full\" title=\"Species found within Cannabis are Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis\" src=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tipos-cannabis-en.jpg\" alt=\"Species found within Cannabis are Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis\" width=\"575\" height=\"1573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tipos-cannabis-en.jpg 575w, https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tipos-cannabis-en-110x300.jpg 110w, https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tipos-cannabis-en-374x1024.jpg 374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Species found within Cannabis are Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%AD%90_Cannabis\"><\/span>\u2b50 Cannabis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabis_Composition\"><\/span>Cannabis Composition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Cannabis sativa<\/i> and <i>Cannabis indica<\/i> are both composed of <strong>THC, CBD, THC-V, CBN, and CBG<\/strong>.

Humans have been using marijuana plants for one of these three reasons for thousands of years, and we continue to do so up to this very day.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marijuana has proven medical benefits in regards to <strong>cancer treatment, PTSD, bipolar disorder, asthma, insomnia, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, Crohn&#8217;s disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and many others<\/strong>. Countless clinical trials have shown that cannabis from indica and sativa varieties work at varying levels, <strong>depending on the amounts of THC and CBD<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On a recreational level<\/strong>, we enjoy getting high. This is why the recreational side of cannabis is such a booming business. Many of us use weed after a long day or with a group of friends- we use it because we enjoy it. <strong>Few countries allow the recreational use of marijuana<\/strong>, but awareness is growing, and the potential for the better understanding of cannabis is on the horizon.<\/li>\n<li>People also use marijuana <strong>for spiritual reasons<\/strong>. This can be seen from cultures from past to present. Either through cultural practices or personal beliefs, cannabis has played significant roles in spirituality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabis_Products\"><\/span>Cannabis Products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The end product of cannabis comes in many different forms. Concentrates, flowers, hash, edibles, and vaporizers are all part of the product offering from marijuana plants. These are all produced from either <strong><i>Cannabis sativa <\/i>or <i>Cannabis indica<\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Concentrates<\/strong> are routinely testing at 50-99% THC depending on the starting material and method used. Concentrates come in the form of <strong>shatter, distillate, crumble, oil or rosin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flowers<\/strong> are the buds harvested from a mature cannabis plant. Buds are covered with sticky trichomes that are filled with THC and range between 10-30% THC. Buds are actually a female <i>Cannabis indica<\/i> or <i>sativa<\/i>\u2019s natural function of growing a multitude of pistils in search of male pollen. Since we want large buds, we keep males from pollinating females to allow the female to continue its search; thus getting larger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edibles<\/strong> are a method by which we infuse food with cannabis products, such as cannabutter or concentrate. This method allows us to ingest cannabis rather than smoking it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vaping marijuana<\/strong> is a new use case for cannabis thanks to technological breakthroughs in the industry. Vape pens are loaded with concentrate to allow us to smoke <strong>without the carcinogenic effect<\/strong> found through combustion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legality\"><\/span>L<b>egality<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many countries still outright ban the use and sale of any cannabis product. Few countries allow their citizens to use cannabis legally, but they are few and far between. The reason many states still ban marijuana is that they deem it an<em> intoxicant because of its high THC content<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Countries that either allow or partially allow cannabis are the <strong>United States, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands, Peru, Uruguay, and South Africa<\/strong>. Legalization has become a hot topic in many countries, so this list is expected to rise shortly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9B%B3_Hemp\"><\/span>\u26f3 Hemp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It may sound confusing at first, but hemp is actually a subspecies of <i>Cannabis<\/i> <i>sativa<\/i>. The significant difference that separates hemp (<i>C. Sativa ssp. sativa)<\/i> from <i>Cannabis sativa<\/i> is how it\u2019s been bred over the years for specific qualities.<\/p>\n<p>Hemp can be identified by its extremely<strong> tall stature<\/strong>, long and thin leaves, and thick stalk at maturity. Considering that it\u2019s a subspecies of Cannabis sativa, it too carries the qualities of sativa varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Hemp plants have a similar growth pattern to indica and sativa varieties, where it generally takes <strong>4 months to reach full maturity<\/strong>. The buds found on hemp are very similar to those of sativa variety, which can be described and long and spear-like. Son origine le rend suffisamment tol\u00e9rant \u00e0 la chaleur et capable de r\u00e9sister \u00e0 l&#8217;humidit\u00e9. Hemp\u2019s origins are that of Cannabis sativa, thus making it<strong> adequately heat tolerant and capable of withstanding humid and wet conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hemp_Composition\"><\/span>Hemp Composition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is where hemp plants and cannabis really differ. Hemp has been bred to be void of<strong> any THC or CBD content.<\/strong> The difference between hemp and marijuana is that hemp does<strong> not have any psychoactive chemicals<\/strong>. Since hemp does not have THC, it has a broader acceptance from governments across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Agricultural engineers have carefully eliminated the traits commonly found in today&#8217;s hemp varieties. By selective breeding, <strong>hemp has been grown with THC levels of less than 0.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hemp_Uses_Products\"><\/span>Hemp Uses &amp; Products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Since the difference between hemp and cannabis is that of its THC and CBD content, hemp has an extensive range of use cases. The primary use case for hemp is <strong>for fiber production. Other use cases are paper production, building materials, jewelry, cordage, plastics, and biofuels<\/strong>. Growing hemp in place of the destruction of forests for raw materials is the ethical choice, and a growing number of countries are beginning to realize this.<\/li>\n<li>The growing demand for alternative fuels has boosted lobbyists in the hemp industry. <strong>Hemp has been documented to produce far more biofuel in less space than competing industries<\/strong>. The near future can see a significant boom in hemp-based biofuel production facilities.<\/li>\n<li>Hemp is also grown as<strong> a <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/category\/recipes-with-marijuana\/\">weed recipes<\/a><\/strong>. Hemp farms allow male plants to pollinate female hemp plants for the sole purpose of harvesting their seeds. Hemp seeds have become popular in foodie culture due to its exoticness and<strong> health benefits.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Hemp seeds naturally contain<strong> high amounts of protein<\/strong>, making them ideal for protein manufactures. The leaves of hemp are edible and are becoming increasingly commonplace in health food stores. Oil producers have begun to make hemp oil due to its unusually high level of unsaturated fats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legality-2\"><\/span>L<b>egality<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So far, <strong>the United States, France, Australia, Canada, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and 23 other countries<\/strong> allow the production of industrial hemp. This is in stark contrast to the legality faced by cannabis. Hemp is increasingly becoming the <strong>eco-friendly material to produce paper, textiles, and other materials<\/strong>. Its high nutritional value has also created awareness of its health benefits.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, hemp was outlawed the same as cannabis because regulators did not understand the difference between the two plants.

Many historical records from ancient China show that <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/4669-hemp-seeds\">hemp seeds<\/a> and hemp oil were used as food sources.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the year 4,000 BC the hemp was used to <b>make different fabrics and shape the ropes in the arches<\/b> of soldiers in China. Egyptian Gods like Seshat (Goddess of the writing and history) were represented by the old Egyptians in 2,800 BC with what seemed a hemp leaf above its head.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pbgreend\">Between 900 and 200 B.C. it is known that between Europe and the Far East commercial routes were established to interchange products among which was the hemp. For the 200 B.C. China had revolutionized the use of this variety of cannabis creating the first papers based on its fibers. Already in the Middle Age, this culture had great social and economic value, <b>supplying the nutritional necessities<\/b> and applying the use of the fibers in the canvases, ropes and reinforcements for the manufacture of boats because of its resistance to salt water.<\/div>\n<p>It was not until the beginning of century XX when other materials arose for the invention of fibers to elaborate fabrics when the hemp lost popularity. With the appearance of the new laws that prohibited the use and culture of marijuana, <b>the production of hemp also was affected<\/b>. Nevertheless, with the advances in scientific investigations, and the current flexibilizations in many countries with the laws applied to cannabis, it is possible to be said that the <b>potentialities of this plant have been rediscovered<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%91%8C_Conclusion\"><\/span>\ud83d\udc4c Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you understand the main <strong>differences between hemp and cannabis<\/strong>.
