I've heard that Chinensis is a completely different variety of the plant, different from Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. Does anyone know much about it? I've haven't seen too much information on it in any of the reading I've done, it's barely mentioned at all in most articles or books that I've seen. Is it even used recreationally at all?
 
I've no idea about it's specific characteristics. I know among botanists there's debate among whether there are even different subspecies (varieties) of the cannabis plant. But then again, not alot of scientists study marijuana..it's quite illegal. I heard once before that in china, you buy weed/hash of Turks who live in china. Not turks, from turkey..turks, an ethnic group. If that helps..sorry.
 
never heard of it, though a google search does return some results (about 70).

it's likely just a regional name.. even indica isnt really a true genus

The genus Cannabis is generally regarded by botanists as monotypic, and the one species Cannabis sativa is now held to include the half dozen forms which have been described under different names

i don't think there's any debate about whether there are different species of cannabis...some of them don't even contain THC at all...Do you have soucres for that info?

Yeah, frizzantik already mentioned a source about it.
 
no, friz's source say's that sativa is a strain in itsself, not taht theres a single species of cannabis in general.

If i misunderstand that then I appologize
 
I don't know how they could quantify a subspeices (cultivar). I mean, I'm sure there are far more cultivars of recreational cannabis than there are industrial hemp.
 
After looking around a little more, I found that it's apparently a Chinese type of cannabis. This is from [seedy sauce removed -Splatt]

"Somanna formerly Soma Wide+ is the only strain with cannabis Chinensis a type that grows in China, it has a very interesting characteristic of sometimes making an extra budlet on the stem of the large fan leaf. It grows quite wide in that the side branches really become a large part of the plant. You have to give it room. It has quite a nice color, limey green with very orange hairs. It looks a lot like the old orange bud, but tastes much better. Mellow sativa high."

toolazy2think, the name "cannabis sativa" is actually the latin term for the marijuana plant, meaning "useful herb" i believe... but there are "variations" known to be Indica, Sativa, etc. but Cannabis Sativa is the ROOT of all of these "variations." Whether there is truth to there being different forms of Cannabis Sativa or not, i do not really know personally.

anyways, hope this clears that up for you =D ...
 
Hello I am somewhat new to this forum but can say I have a good deal of knowlege regarding cannabis.
In extended convesations with Rob Clarke , author of "Marijuana Botany"He and I are quite confident Cannabis is in fact a monospecies of multivariant phenotype.Phenotypical differences are attributed to acclimatization and exploitation of available habitat.
Geneticly No species specific crossing anomilies arise also supporting the monospecies multiphenotype model of cannabis.

whiterasta...;)

"The single greatest threat to GW pharmaceuticals monopoly on standardized Cannabis formulas is that man,the American, the one at the conference who spoke up on mitochondrial usage of cannabinoids in cell regulation.The formula he brought was so far beyond what we are doing, I do not know how he has developed it on his own" Sir Edmund Guy to Rob Clarke at the Second Clinical Conferance on Cannabis in Portland Or.
Thank you Sir Guy=D
