      Cannabis sativa is the same plant for every single strain of cannabis in existence, as well as hemp. The meme is pointing out how we talk about sativa, indica, and hybrids as completely different plants, rather than variations of the same species

          Standard middle school definition of species is applicable here. If they can breed and their offspring is fertile, they’re the same species.
