Cannabis sativa is the same plant for every single strain of cannabis in existence, as well as hemp. The meme is pointing out how we talk about sativa, indica, and hybrids as completely different plants, rather than variations of the same species
Yes, the different strains absolutely have some differences, and I’m not trying to say it’s all bullshit. Weed is awesome, and we should document new stuff as it comes along, but we need to remember that it’s all a single plant. I’d say weed is like the apple of drugs
Yes. Some strains smell like a baby just shit kn a diaper and some smell like a fresh cut mango mixed with some pine needles lol. Flavor also vastly different! It’s a wonderful plant to explore
This is debated. But this string is an explanation of recent debate. Whether it’s all sativa or there are the three sub species. I prefer the sub species route myself.
I would, however, point out that the specific page on Cannabis sativa lists them as subspecies. So, it appears there isn’t even consensus on Wikipedia.
In mycology one will hear references to ‘lumpers’ and ‘splitters’ taxonomically. That is, do we lump these specimens together, or do we split them into difference groupings. When we look at the genetics, it has been the case that we find that those critters that appear similar may not be those that are related by genes/ evolution. And of course by “we” I mean the larger scientific community, not me and the mouse in my pocket. Oh wait, that’s not a mouse it’s a shrew. ;-)
Standard middle school definition of species is applicable here
And here I was thinking about looking into some of the papers for the actual reasons … but turns out those stupid scientists just wasted their time because they forgot about middle school. Fools!

But each strain is different, right? Like how a chihuahua and a German shepherd are both dogs, but vastly different.

This is incorrect. Cannabis is the family designation where Sativa, Indica and Ruderalis are the species designations.

What do you mean by “same plant”? They are different species.

Seems there there is very much a debate about it and they are either considered seperate species, subspecies or a single one.
There’s really no debate about it.

No, they’re not. Industrial hemp is also Cannabis sativa.

Species[1]
Taxonomy is difficult, and we’re still figuring it all out.
My point exactly. That’s why I find it a bit strange that the post and some comments here act like it’s a certainty.

Standard middle school definition of species is applicable here. If they can breed and their offspring is fertile, they’re the same species.
QED, Spock is sterile.

I kind of thought the Spock thing would convey I wasn’t 100% serious in my reply to a weed shitpost.
