November 25- Sativa and Indica

Fig:1

Fig: 2

The pictures above are pop culture and taxonomic references to X. X was used millenia ago in Central and South Asia from where it spread to be popular around the world. Morocco and Latin America are its largest producers. The United States has the most lucrative market for X, which prompted activities as described in Fig: 1. These activities involved hybridising the Sativa and Indica types to obtain a new type which is short like Indica and hence suited to growing indoors but retains many desirable properties of Sativa. The per capita consumption of X is highest in some Pacific Island nations. Identify X, and as a bonus, Fig: 1.

Congrats to Pinakin, Kane, Varsha, Dev, Nikhil, Ankur, Anuj and Shiva for the Answer.

Kudos to Shiva for also identifying the show "Weeds" on Showtime.

I found it interesting how the crackdown on the taller Sativa plants even in Latin America has spurred cultivation of Cannabis Indica indoors, as shown hillariously in "Weeds"!
