Cannabis Sativa is the name given to all varieties of marijuana, however it is known to most as the tall thin-leafed type that originates in more tropical parts of the world such as India, Thailand, South America and Africa. For a long time Sativa type Cannabis has been selectively bred for fibre prodution, their long stringy stems making perfect rope and cloth. Sativa plants can grow very tall and take a long time to flower making them more difficult to cultivate indoors, however the extra effort can worth it. Those of us who are sativa smokers can vouch for this. Earthy spice tastes, and an uplifting high with a long plateau are common Sativa characteristics.
