The commonly recognized categories of marijuana are which?

• A. Indica and Sativa
• B. Hemp and Cannabis
• C. CBD and THC
• D. Indoor and Outdoor

Answer: (A)

The term most people use to categorize marijuana in practice is Indica and Sativa. These two plant varieties have long been described as differing in appearance and feel: Indica plants are usually shorter and bushier with broad leaves and are associated with more relaxing, “body” effects; Sativa plants are typically taller with thinner leaves and are linked to more uplifting, energizing effects. Even though modern science shows a lot of variation due to genetics and hybrids, the familiar Indica vs. Sativa distinction remains the standard shorthand for describing marijuana types. Hemp, CBD, and THC refer to other concepts (a related Cannabis variety used for fiber, and the cannabinoids themselves) or cultivation methods, not categories of marijuana.
