Gradually, the industry created a classification system that equated plant morphology to effects; indica became synonymous with \u201crelaxing\u201d while sativa became synonymous with \u201cenergizing.\u201d The trouble is, as more cannabis researchers and clinicians continue to emphasize annually, plant morphology cannot predict the effects of any given product because two products labeled \u201cindica\u201d may impact two people completely differently. However, what is much more predictable about a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweedythings.com\/blog\/how-to-read-weed-product-labels\/\">cannabis product are its unique cannabinoids<\/a> <\/strong>(THC\/CBD) and terpene content.
