Welcome to episode 15 of our podcast! In this episode, we tackle the age-old question of Indica vs Sativa strains of cannabis. We explore the differences between these two types, including their effects, flavours, and growth characteristics. But more importantly, we ask the question, does it really matter? We delve into the debate of whether the distinction between Indica and Sativa truly impacts the therapeutic benefits of cannabis for different conditions. We also discuss the gap between the general public's understanding of these terms and the industry's perspective. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that will help you navigate the world of cannabis strains with confidence.

In this episode, we welcome back our resident expert guest, plant enthusiast, final year Ph.D. candidate in the genetics of medicinal cannabis at La Trobe University, friend and favourite cannabis scientist, Gianni Del Rosario-Makridis. Gianni's work is dedicated to discovering new and exciting therapies for treatments by unlocking the therapeutic benefits of plants. He graduated with first class honours in botany in 2017 and has been researching cannabis trichome genetics full-time as a Ph.D. candidate since then. In addition to being an academic teaching plant-based molecular biology to undergraduates, Gianni is also a scientific consultant in the cannabis industry with experience as a cultivator for one of Australia's largest cannabis companies.
