I gather THC:CBD:CBN ratios can result in slightly differing highs, but none of that is linked in any consistent or reliable way to strains, right? It’s my understanding those factors are far more linked to how the cannabis was grown and cared for than the plant’s exact genetics.

And terpenes are not known to be psychoactive, yet a lot of people say they can influence the high to be either more sedating or stimulating. Is that true? My gut feeling is that’s also bullshit and they only effect the smell and taste. I could see an argument that they indirectly influence the high in the same way your set and setting influences it, but certainly not in any consistent, reliable way, and especially not between different people.

My experience with weed, regardless of the terpene profile, strain, or indica/sativa has been that it’s all basically the same high and there is not a soul on this Earth who could smoke some flower in a blind test and tell you what the strain is or even just if it’s an indica or sativa.

    kitty-cri Jeeeeezus I’m sorry that happened to you. Lotta people IRL are absolutely way too pro-pot. It should be legal and all that but its not a cure all nor is it free of side effects and negative interactions. Like half or more of my friend group are big stoners and while for a bunch of them it keeps them coming together and is a nice group activity or whatever (get stoned and watch basketball or anime or what have you), there’s at least like 3-4 of them who 100% have a harmful dependence on it, or have in the past. And I’ve met a good number of people who it just doesn’t agree with, fucks up their mental health, etc. who were all at one point stoners
