Types of Medical Marijuana Plants
Sativa
Recognizable as a tall and slender leaf, sativa medical marijuana has more THC (Total Highness Concentration) and gives patients the energy and inspiration to finally finish that 3-D puzzle they’ve been putting off.
Indica
Indica is shorter and fatter in appearance than a sativa plant. It also has more CBD (Chill Baked Degree) which makes patients mellow enough to enjoy the movie “Here Comes the Boom” but also makes them so sleepy that they miss the last half-hour.
Maple
Although it is the most commonly found form of medical marijuana in Canada, Maple Leaves have been proven to be almost entirely ineffective as a medicinal product despite countless reports from 12 year olds who “totally got stoned” off of them.
