Beyond the Indica Sativa Myth The Hybrid Explosion and the Making of Indica vs Sativa

Описание: The divide between Indica and sativa feels timeless, like it has always been there. But the truth is, the binary was born out of prohibition, underground breeding, and marketing convenience, not biology.

In this episode of Beyond the Indica–Sativa Myth, we trace the story of the hybrid explosion of the 1970s–1990s: how Afghanicas, Congolese reds, Nepalese charas, and Panama’s tropical strains collided in clandestine gardens. We look at how prohibition forced cannabis indoors, how Amsterdam’s seed banks codified “indica vs. sativa” as sales language, and how High Times and the Cannabis Cup turned it into global gospel.

By the time the science arrived, with chemotypes, terpenes, cannabinoid ratios, and genetic sequencing, the myth was already cemented. This is the untold story of how the cannabis plant was reduced into two boxes, and why breaking that framework matters for the future of cultivation, medicine, and culture.
