There are several varieties of weed, with different levels of potency, as well as different variations of highs. Weed plants are classifies into two basic types: Cannibis indica and Cannibis Sativa.

Indicas are stocky plants with wide leaves (figure 1) and short branches that seldom grow five feet tall. They mature quickly and become filled with dense and resnous buds hat range in color from dark green to deep purple. Indicas generally belong to the non-tropical and drier parts of the planet, such as Afghanistan, Turkey, and Iran.

Sativa varities range between six to over twenty feet tall. They have light green color leaves with thin blades (figure 2), and there resin content is considerably lower than indicas. Their buds have a strong citrus scent and usually have a sweat flavor. Sativas also take anywhere from four to ten weeks longer to mature than indicas. Sativa are found all over the planet: however, the most potent varieties grow in the tropical regions of the world like Colombia, Thailand, and Brazil.
