Types of Marijuana

The types of marijuana which are normally known are:

•        Sativa
•        Indica

But there is also a third type which is not much different than Indica and that is

•        Ruderalis

The use of marijuana is dated way back in history especially in India as it was highly used by Hindu God name Shiva or Shiv. Hence, made it a sacred plant.

Sativa

Sativa are tall and thin with narrow leaves and are generally in light green colour than others. They take longer time to grow and mature and require more light. These are usually used for industrial purpose and are also referred as Hemp.

Indica

These are short in height and are bushier with wider leaves. They have a higher yields and grow faster than sativa. These are usually used for producing medicines because of higher level of CBD and lower THC counts.

Ruderalis

There is actually debate going on for ruderalis to be accepted or not as a sub-species. Therefore, not much known or can be said about it to be considered as a type of marijuana. Similar to indica it also has lower THC count.

With all the types of marijuana mentioned above there is one more thing that I would like to mention in this blog and that is about Bhang. Every Indian know the use of Bhang but only few from other countries. Even bhang being used in India most of the Indians don’t know that Bhang is made through marijuana. Bhang is made by converting marijuana in a form which is edible. It has been used in foods and drinks by Hindus since ancient India. Bhang is mainly consumed during Hindu festival called Holi the festival of colours.
