    I didn’t actually know that but I suspected it, with indica being one of the two most familiar species.* It was actually a shower thought I had last night, just before I ultimately forgot to take an edible (or ultimately didn’t bother because tbqf these gummies are just revolting).

    *I thought sativa might have indicated a south Asian origin but that is actually just the Latin for “cultivated”.
