How indica, sativa, and hybrid labels are defined
Indica and sativa started as botanical terms: indica plants are bushier with wider leaves, sativas are taller with narrow leaves, and hybrids are crosses between the two. In shops today, these labels are used to group products rather than describe plant shape.
Most cannabis on the market is actually hybrid, but products are often labelled for marketing or tradition. The effects people experience can vary widely within each label.

Why effects do not depend only on the label
Recent research shows that indica, sativa, and hybrid labels do not reliably predict effects. The chemical profile, mainly THC, CBD, and terpenes, matters more than the label.
Two products with the same label can have very different chemical compositions. Always check lab results or cannabinoid content when choosing.
