AS POLICE and dope smokers know, there are two types of cannabis. Cannabis sativa sativa is mainly used to make hemp, while the indica subspecies is prized for its tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, which produces the "high". But now Australian researchers have discovered a third type of cannabis, called rasta.
Simon Gilmore of the Canberra Institute of Technology catagorised 196 sample plants according to the DNA in their mitochondria and chloroplasts. The samples included plants grown for drugs and hemp as well as wild varieties from Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico and Jamaica.
The results showed three distinct "races" of cannabis. In central Asia the THC-rich indica predominated, while in western Europe sativa was more common. In India, south-east Asia, Africa, Mexico and Jamaica the rasta variant predominated. It looks similar to the sativa subspecies, but generally contains higher levels of THC.
Since the study was of DNA rather than a formal taxonomic study, Cannabis sativa rasta is not yet an official new subspecies: the name was the result of a competition in Gilmore's lab. Their work is expected to appear in the journal Forensic Science International later this year.

Then get a sense of humor, or at least make a point.Originally Posted by Law & Order
Take a hit. I've found that can help.
Why do you have no sense of humor when it comes to this subject?
Forgot what I was going to say.
Weren't you going to order a pizza?
If pot is legal, I don't want that as the S.A.Q.(Société des alcools du Québec) store, the S.A.Q. is a liquor store owned by government in Quebec and I absolutly don't want a cannabis store owned by governement. If everything is owned by government, there is no competitor. For me the S.A.Q. is a scam because government suppose to take care of population about their health while they sell alcohol and when there is a lot of regulations on tabacco. That just doesn't make any sense. I think Quebec government should sell S.A.Q. to private business.
Share a pizza with Zippy, Gab
May be Pizza with pot.
Too late
I'll come to NYC at the on september 30th by bus with Greyhound company. If I find an excellent Import Export business why not. I just have to tell the custom officer that I will get rid of welfare when I'll come back to Montreal.
Best Pizza I ever had is at Loretta's on Layton Ave in the Bronx!
A third species of herb?
If you get busted with this new species, they cannot prosecute you for it, because there is no law against the new breed of weed, yet. They can only prosecute you for Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica.
It seems like a good legal loophole!
Why is it illegal? Why, because it isn't good for you, then it is bad for you, therefore, it is illegal!
You are dazed, bewildered, lost in a World without color or time........
You've been tokin Herb!
Pot, Grass, Weed, Marijuana. You smoke it and you get high.
