Is the medellin strain indica or sativa?

According to  Medellin Strain info, it is said to be named after the Columbian city of the same name. It is a bold sativa dominant hybrid strain that may side-swipe you into indica town if you get carried away. Medellin weed strain has a 60% sativa to 40% indica ratio, though due to its potent effects, many users have claimed it felt more indica leaning. 

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, whereas others would just call it counterfeiting. The Medellin marijuana strain has grown so rapidly in popularity that it left a trail of fakes in its wake, so buy with caution. Just because pot comes in flashy packaging, that doesn’t mean it’s legit and if you have doubts, then rather go to the source.
