Sativa

A botanical classification describing cannabis plants with tall, loosely branched growth patterns, narrow leaves, and longer flowering times — originating from equatorial regions. Commonly associated with energising, cerebral "head high" effects in cannabis retail, though this association is not reliably supported by the science. More useful for growing decisions (space requirements, flowering duration) than for predicting effects.
