What Is Cannabis Sativa?


Hi there, and welcome to The Wellness Soldier’s Cannabis Class. My name is Cody Lindsay from the Wellness Soldier and today we are beginning with the basics…What is Cannabis Sativa?

Cannabis Sativa was first discovered as Hemp, a high-growing industrial variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant.


Hemp has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years, and can be used for textiles, food, fibre, building materials, paper, medical treatments, and can even be used as bio fuel. Hemp is grown specifically with THC levels less than 0.3%.


When mankind discovered fire, we discovered a controlled method to burning herbs and incense for inhalation, this is when we discovered the hidden secrets of the cannabis sativa plant.


The term cannabis (or marijuana) is used when describing a Cannabis Sativa (HEMP) plant that is bred for its potent, resinous glands (known as trichomes), which contain high amounts of THC. THC is an acronym for tetrahydro-cannabinol

Now…You may be asking yourself “What is THC?”

THC is the main psychoactive (mind-altering) chemical found in marijuana, responsible for most of the intoxicating effects of cannabis.

The THC chemical is found in resin produced by the leaves and buds primarily of the female cannabis plant. The cannabis plant also contains more than 500 other chemicals, including over 100 compounds that are chemically related to THC, called cannabinoids.





Another popular cannabinoid is Cannabidiol CBD, as it is non-psychoactive and has been found to affect the body, and produces a calming effect making it useful in the treatment of stress related disorders, pain related injuries, and Sleep Loss

Our body has what is known as an endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in your brain and throughout your central and peripheral nervous systems.

So…when you eat, smoke, vaporize, or use cannabis topically, the cannabinoids run through your endocannabinoid system to your cannabinoid receptors.

Your ECS is involved in a variety of physiological processes including mediating the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
