Chemovars – Why the classification into Sativa and Indica is scientifically inaccurateThe terms Sativa and Indica are often used to describe the effects of cannabis.
However, modern scientific research shows that this classification does not adequately reflect the actual genetic and chemical differences between cannabis strains.
Instead, the term chemovar is gaining importance, as it describes the plant based on its cannabinoid and terpene profile.

The Biosynthesis of CannabinoidsCannabinoids such as THC, CBD, and CBG are produced in the cannabis plant through a series of biochemical reactions that primarily occur in the trichomes of the flowers.
The starting point of this process is cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), from which various cannabinoid acids are formed through specific enzymes.

What are flavonoids?Flavonoids are a group of secondary plant compounds that are also found in the cannabis plant.
They contribute to the color, aroma, and possibly also to the biological effects of cannabis.
Some specific flavonoids, such as cannflavin A and cannflavin B, are found almost exclusively in cannabis.

What are trichomes?Trichomes are microscopic resin glands found on the surface of the cannabis plant.
They produce the plant’s primary active compounds, including cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, as well as aromatic terpenes.
They play a central role in the effects, aroma, and overall quality of cannabis.
