Can you tell me how to tell the difference between a sativa and an indica?

Sativa and Indica are two of the four main strains of cannabis. Sativa is known for its energizing effects, while Indica is more calming and relaxing. To identify the strain, look at the plant's leaves. Sativas have thin, light green leaves with a slight purple tinge, while Indicas tend to be thicker, darker green, and sometimes covered in white crystals. The smell and taste can also help distinguish between the two. Sativas usually have a sweet or fruity aroma, while Indicas tend to have a more pungent and earthy smell. Finally, the high from each strain can vary greatly as well. A Sativa high is often more uplifting, energetic, and creative, while an Indica high tends to provide more relaxation and sedation.
