hardhat22 said:Thanks alot.Thats very interesting and confusing at the same time.He is stating that,if we get a buzz from it,it's an indica.If we don't it's a sativa????And there is no such thing as a sativa hybrid.Not sure how to process that little bit of info.
Peace
Ganja Pasha said:Even Rob Clarke isn't sure how it works, our understanding is not yet complete, let's just agree it's a lot more complicated than the traidtional indica, sativa, ruderalis, hemp view. Eventually they will fully map the cannabis genepool and develop a proper, complete scientific taxonomy (hopefully without lots of Latin names!)
Ganja Pasha said:I think Herbalistic is right, there are still plenty of little patches of old sativas in Mexico, hell, Merida and Quintana Roo are covered in wild cannabis, it's everywhere, it is a weed after all!
As for further north, Zacatecas, the Sierra Madre range, I'd say stay the hell away from there, it is far too dangerous, there is open warfare there between the cartels and the army and asking folks about cannabis there will probably be a good way to meet a nasty painful death, life is very, very cheap in Mexico, I never felt 100% safe and I was in possibly the safest part ofthe country. Guatemala was fucking scary, and looking back I was fucking stupid to go there on my own,The people are lovely, some of the warmest, kindest and friendly souls I have ever met, but the poverty is harsh and there are many people who will kidnap or kill you in a heartbeat, hell if I was poor as dirt and my family were too, and a fat wealthy American tourist walked past with a fat wallet in his pockt I;d do what I needed to support my family and take that wallet, so easy to see how someone could have looked at me the same way although I tried hard to look more like a down-at-heel hippy than a wealthy gingo and it worked, stinking of ganja also helped methinks! LOL

Or, Revival of the Ultimate Narrow Leafed Indica,Hemp and Ruderalis Thread.3dDream said:Yep... you have been smoking indicas the whole time. Hemp=sativa and hemp=ruderalis. For the indicas there is narrow and wide leaf drug types. So this thread should be called Revival of the Ultimate Narrow Leafed Indica Thread. ]
As expected, plants with high levels of THC were common within the two drug biotypes of C. indica. However, plants with relatively high levels of THC were also common within the hemp and feral biotypes of this species. In contrast, most plants assigned to C. sativa had relatively low levels of THC. Because chemotype I, II, and III plants were found in both species, the chemotype of an individual plant is of limited use for chemotaxonomic determination of species membership.
Ganja Pasha - both the Oaxacans went into flower last night, but I'm fairly certain both are female...
By the way, here's the three 'Mexico' pages from Cherniak's book - Vol 2, the weed one - can't see the pic of the pyramid you mention though...?
