Since the early 1970s, Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or " chemotype ," based on the overall amount of THC produced, and on the ratio of THC to CBD.

The Cannabis genus was first classified using the " modern " system of taxonomic nomenclature by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753, who devised the system still in use for the naming of species.

Enterprising attorneys for the defense in a few drug busts argued that the seized Cannabis material may not have been C. sativa, and was therefore not prohibited by law.

This taxonomic interpretation was embraced by Cannabis aficionados who commonly distinguish narrow-leafed " sativa " drug strains from wide-leafed " indica " drug strains.
