i signed up for this page to specifically answer this, and do a little marijuana lesson.
I'm from the dfw area also, and "popcorn" is very popular down here.
But it seems like no one knows about this, so i'm going to break it down.
Scientifically (and legally), all cannabis plants are Cannabis Sativa.
In practice, Indica and Sativa are the names used to distinguish each end of the cannabis 'spectrum'.
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]INDICAS - Short thick plants, broad leaves, darker green, flowering in 8 to 10 weeks with thick dense flower tops. Flavours from stinky skunk to fruity sweet. Origins traced back to Afghanistan, Morocco and Tibet. More of a body stone. Indoor grower's favorite types.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]SATIVAS - The polar opposite of indicas. Tall, thin plants, narrow leaves, lighter green colors, grow quick, extend to heights of 20 feet in some cases. Origins are traced back to Mexico, Columbia and southeast Asia. Flowering times vary from 10 to 16 weeks, normally longer than indicas. Taste ranges from earthy to fruity. A good head stone. Favored for outdoor growing.
[/FONT][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]CROSS BREEDS - Combining different sativa and indica breeds will produce the corresponding traits of each mother and father. Actual percentages each strain will contain is not exact, but pretty close.[/FONT]

[/FONT]there are many different potency levels of marijuana, with different slang names and lots of confusion, but three main groups these all derive from.
these groups are (in common terms, keep in mind other places call them other things):
1. Reggie, or shwagg
2. Mid Regs, or "Popcorn"
3. Dro, aslo known as chronic, KB or Kindbud, etc.
Schwag is the bottom of the barrel, it's usually a dull green or brown, and real compressed because it most likely came from a brick. It taste harsh, burns faster, is lower in THC and is always grown from the dirt and outside. Can't buy this by the gram. A nick runs for $5 dollars at 2.5 grams, a dime is $10 for 5 grams if youre lucky, 3.5 if you dealer wants a profit, oz at 28 grams runs anywhere from $40 to $60.
MidRegs the greens start to get more vibrant and the hairs start getting brighter, more red than brown. It'll also start tasting and smelling better. Usually smaller buds, but at least it comes in buds, and is somewhat fluffy. Can be grown in or outdoors, in water or ground, taken care of well, but not trimmed during growing process to yeild larger buds. Bags can contain seeds, depending if your popcorn was grown hydroponically or not. Prices range from same as reggie, to $10 a gram. Because it is newer, you usually just have to hope for a big sack, or ask before hand how much you're getting for how much cash you have.
"Dro" is short for hydroponics, grown in water, indoors our outdoors, typically indoors, plants grow about 5% bigger indoors. There are many different strains of marijuana grown this way. THC crystals visible, hairs, potent fresh smell, no seeds, light and fluffy. Beasters is a type of weed not different enough to be it's own category, but enough so to name. Grown hydpronically, but simply not as good of a plant, this still is sold with no seeds and fluffy, is usually cheaper than regualr dro though due to its lack of potent 'dro' taste and smell.
