 ===== Types of the Cannabis Plant =====
-There are currently 4 known types of cannabis. These are not to be confused with strains (Blue Dream, etc) or species ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_sativa|Sativa]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_indica|Indica]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_ruderalis|Ruderalis]]). These types are mainly marketing terms to refer to the selective breeding of plants but beyond such specificity as strain.
+There are currently many phenotypes of cannabis, shortened colloquially to "Type". These are not to be confused with strains (Blue Dream, etc) or species ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_sativa|Sativa]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_indica|Indica]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_ruderalis|Ruderalis]]). These types are mainly marketing terms to refer to the selective breeding of plants but beyond such specificity as strain.
 The types are as follows:
-Type 1 - Sometimes romanticized as Type I, this is the weed you are familiar with. Bred for high THCa, this is the most common form of weed in the US market.

-Type 2 - Also known as Type II, old weed, and 1:1 weed, this weed is higher in CBD and resembles a more natural plant. It is common to see the two in a one-to-one ratio of THC to CDB. Sometimes this can be found in other ratios, but the CBD is still substantial.

It is common to see the two in a one-to-one ratio of THC to CDB. Sometimes this can be found in other ratios, but the CBD is still substantial.
-Type 3 - Type III weed is sometimes called Hemp Weed. This is because it is mainly CBD, and often has little to no THC.

-Type 4 - Type IV weed (and beyond) is done with some genetic work. Basically, they remove the THCa and CBDa synthase, and the result is a weed that grows [[CBG|CBG]] as its primary cannabinoid.
