sativa

Daytime marijuana variety

Sativa is a classification of cannabis plants, distinguished from indica by tall, narrow-leafed growth and effects typically described as energizing or cerebral rather than sedating.

The term appears in strain names and dispensary menus: I prefer sativas for daytime use.

Botanically, it derives from the Latin for "cultivated," appearing in species names like *Cannabis sativa* and *Avena sativa* (oats).
