MODERATORS
In all honesty it’s all bullshit at this point. Generally they test the top colas for their THC% so it’s gonna be less in general than whatever the jar says. On top of that. Everything has been so cross bred it’s rare to find sativa/indicas effects based on the genetics. Unless it’s a land race/popular strain I just assume it’s all hybrids
It all seems to serve my needs anyway, which are medical and pain-related. But I started trying different strains once I was able to and it didn't seem to make a difference. I lived in L.A. when you had to have a prescription and they still had a lot of strains available at the dispensary I went to, but they basically only told you the name and the price.
Luckily for me, the owners and I bonded because we were all Midwesterners in L.A. so they were always telling me things like, "don't get Pineapple Express. We charge more for it because people buy it due to the movie." They did always want me to smell it before I bought it though. I'm not sure what that was supposed to tell me either and I was too embarrassed to ask because the way they did it with both me and all other customers, it was like I should have already known why and I felt stupid.
Legit, we're still trying to figure out through genetics if cannabis even has species, or if it's all just cultivars of C. Sativa. We still don't know where to draw the lines scientifically. Literature is all over the place! The classic 2, adding in ruderalis for a 3rd, differentiating hemp vs weed, differentiating wild or landraces from cultivated populations.
All really interesting work on this has been done in the last 4 years! Super exciting time.
I think the existence of brassica oleracea is pretty damned good evidence it's all just cultivars.
Yup. I prefer the type classification. Aka type I high THC low or no CBD. Type II even CBD to THC. Type III high CBD low or no THC
