G’day, legends! If indicas are the sleepy fullbacks of the cannabis world, sativas are your midfield sprinters—the ones that keep you buzzing, chatting, and kicking goals long after everyone else has called it a night. I’ve pulled together the ultimate lineup: six certified rippers that have earned their jerseys in the Sativa Hall of Fame. Each one’s got a role to play, a nickname, and some proper stats. Let’s meet the squad.
