SNIP That is very very definitely C.sativa.

Certainly looks like it to me.

If in doubt, pull a leaf off, dry it out and burn it - there's no
mistaking the distinctive aroma.
If that fails to convince you, try again with a larger quantity....


Bit of a myth that.
It's the flowers that are smoked, not the leaves.
There is very little of the active ingredients in the leaves.

There's certainly enough to ensure a positive identification, the
resin containing the THCs etc. flows throughout the plant - and
concentrates in the buds.
As you can see from the piccy, there aren't any buds yet.

Burning the leaves will be sufficient for identification...if anything
more is required, well, that's another matter...
