⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 041

Botanical classification for tall, thin-leafed cannabis drug plants from equatorial regions, commonly but incorrectly called 'sativas'. Properly Cannabis indica ssp. indica.

Clarke traced naming confusion back to Lamarck's original description. Tall narrow-leafed plants from India are the true indicas. Crossed with broadleaf drug types to create modern hybrids.
