About this listen
In this episode, April Arrasate interviews Dr. Ryan Lynch, a cannabis plant biologist, to discuss the real difference between indica and sativa, along with other fascinating facts. Dr. Lynch explains the origins of the terms, the chemical differences (or lack thereof) between indica and sativa, and the physical characteristics that were initially used to differentiate them.
The conversation also delves into the impact of prohibition on the genetic and chemical makeup of the plant, the implications of genetic diversity loss, and the potential for finding older genetics in different regions of the world. Additionally, Dr. Lynch presents his research on cannabis genomes, including the discovery of inversions and structural variations within the plant's DNA. This episode provides a comprehensive exploration of cannabis genetics, shedding light on the complexity of the topic and dispelling some common misconceptions.
