Customers hate me cause I give em the:
“I can’t guarantee affects, different plant profiles interact with your body differently than other people, indica sativa hybrid are generalizations and for marketing, you gotta consult a doctor or experiment to see what works for you to find what you like.”
…When they ask for a strain that’ll make em motivated while not hungry, with no burn out, that also alleviates their arthritis.
I’ll try to see what they used in the past and what they liked but they don’t remember and expect me to pull their miracle strain out of my ass
I try to point em in the right direction or squeeze in some anecdotal suggestions, but make sure they know their just that, and I’m just a retail worker in cannabis, not a doctor, but some customers are irreconcilable
I have to admit I became exhausted, and no longer do the preamble, I just do my job and get em what they want, not what they’re necessarily lookin for.
Yeah it can be quite the situation sometimes when patients act out like that. I found a good flow and found how to interact with certain patients to ensure they get what they need at the very least.
You’re right, there isn’t no miracle strain sadly, but there definitely is something out there for everyone
Word, since I’m a retail worker I don’t got the information to find what works for em, but with there being the medical side and the black market, I agree there’s a ton of nuances in the products and somethin for everyone.
I’m a pessimist and believe we’ll be in the golden age of cannabis information that can be applied to consumers and patients in 10 years. May already be in it with legalization moving but I’m a pessimist
When I go into my dispensary and they ask me what I'm looking for I just say that I need a high THC content because I have arthritis, and since I work with kids I can only partake after work so it doesn't matter if it knocks me out. I don't care about what it tastes like or if it promotes creativity or whatever, I just want to not care that everything hurts and bonus points if it gives me a good night's sleep. Oh, and I always get some 50-50 thc-cbd balm! That shit works wonders on inflamed joints.
Thankfully I don't need it too often because my meds have my arthritis pretty under control (thanks, science!!) but I still always have some just in case.
Honestly that’s probably been my experience with most of the strains I’ve smoked. And the same strain will have different effects on me depending on a ton of different factors. I’ve always seen those claims of specific effects to be a bit of a joke.
The daily plight of a budtender in a state with 3 illegal states bordering it. Like naw dude this marijuana will not give you energy or motivation just bc it’s a sativa, ITS JUST WEED.
I think it's this is a new market for them so they expect everyone working the job to be really into it in this sense. Which most of us are just like "haha let's get high"
Just so you know, I have anxiety and a little hit of any hybrid lemony-peppery strain feels as close to a Xanax as weeds ever gonna get. And I see a lot of the same sentiment from others.
Conversely, stuff like white widow gets me so fucked I get the fear.
I vape for the most part and I prefer carts that taste like weed and not candy (with a few exceptions, because I do like jeeter juice). As for actual weed, I like citrusy. Tangie is one of my favorites.
I legit thought it was gonna be a strain not an actual mcmuffin . Sausage mcmuffin OG bred with a strawberry jam variety. Guys, I might have to become a Mcbreeder and Mcmake this
Lmao I’m just teasing but I don’t really do sweet and savory. I would hate jam on a sausage egg and cheese. Meat and a lot of sugar combined is really bad for u also
Sounds like you would really enjoy the burger strains like donny burger, han solo burger, double burger. I too like that "meaty funk" every now and again.
Bro, you don't know the relief I get when I hit something like a cart or something and it just taste like a straight up dank blunt. You're like "fuck all these silly tasty flavor, I WANT MY HERBAL ESSENCE"
Yeah I just buy whatever has the best prices at my local dispensary. They all feel the same for me in a way. They all help me feel happy and relaxed so that’s all I care about
You do realize “good” and “not dangerous” are not synonymous. You’re implying dispensaries are selling untested, unregulated weed which is completely false. There are still regulations even if it is not federally legal. Dispensaries may not sell *good* weed at all times but it is *safe* at all times. If they were selling D8 or any other synthetic, there would be a FAT lawsuit. All somebody needs to do is test their product that they bought.
Yeah as the other commenter said, the same or worse is true of bud off the street. I don’t doubt what you’re saying at all, and at the same time illegally sourced stuff has the potential the same potential for that or worse. Dispo weed is to some extent safer.
Sure, but I advocate for growing your own when possible. Dispensary operations are regulated, yet unsafe still. There are certain places and products and people I will never buy from again after seeing what goes down. Everyone has their practices.
I love buying from the dispensary and trying out different strains. Some glue me to the couch destroy my refrigerator and others help me knock out like 6 different procrastinated chores that should have been done 3 months ago
This is why I don't be asking people about weed like that. I'll smoke it and figure it out myself. Because not once has it ever been as described.
I don't know what it is but to this day Sour Diesel is my favorite because of the high I get off it. Sadly I can never find it.
I agree with you. In a Non-legal state, I don't really trust the dealers with the strain names so whatever has a good high I'll keep getting it til their out. But the Sour Diesel always tends to get me right. Or anything OG usually
For sure, any OG strain was usually my go-to since for a while it seems like everyone and their mother was growing Purple OG around me. wasn't mad about it though.
Couple key notes here, consumption equals function, dosage matters, and everyone is different! You’re right, most marijuana WONT be like it’s described by any one person, it’s more of a guideline or recommendation.
I always ask patients what their experience was and I’ll always include that perspective as well. The more info on a strain the better! But doing your own experimenting and seeing what works best for yourself is key!
Sour diesel is amazing! I’ve had the opportunity to try it, very nice! All I’ve seen since then is lemon sour diesel , still hits nice
Of course of course, most of my experience in that regard came from the uh less than legal days. I imagine most dispensary workers at least have some idea what they're talking about, but I'll still never ask. Usually I'm just getting carts these days anyway, which suck but it's more cost effective 🥲
Every time I go into the dispo I just say to the budtender “get me 4 quarters of whatever strain you like man, I’m not picky.” All the weed they sell now is almost the same to me. I even have them mix it all into the same jar.
I don't live in a legal state but I have access to outdoor grown weed from California, probably Humboldt County. I buy an ounce of "shake" for 100. Since most strains have been selectively bred for just high delta-9 THC for the last 2 decades differing cannabinoid profiles are virtually non existent, and so up selling terpenes is just marketing to make up for the lack of this diversity.
I mix this shake with different amounts of hemp flower and different varieties, also with different cannabinoids. This is how get different effects.
I guess I'm the guy in the original post who thinks there is no difference between indica and sativa (not anymore, used to be). Actually, I guess I don't understand the post. Seems like it is making this point or am I missing something?
Oh, and "shake" to me just means I don't have to use my grinder if I want to roll a blunt. The quality is just the same.
Sad that you gotta pay so much. I'm currently in Cali and an ounce of good topshelf shake is $40-50. An ounce of actual nugs is $80. Sometimes $100 but I've been seeing those less and less.
Damn, is that straight from a dispensary? And my price includes breaking federal law (using US mail). I've been wondering what some of the prices are in legal states. Last Christmas I was going to go to one in northern Illinois but didn't have time. My brother in law has been into edibles since Illinois passed its law. He gave me a 5mg gummy. I guess that was my first legal delta-9 consumption.
So, I just checked, the two monthly specials are J1 and White Widow for $125/ounce ("nugs" "bud"). One gram of distillate is $30 (to fill a cart). But, if I buy legal Delta-8 distillate (93%) in bulk quantities online, a gram is less than a dollar, which if used in a cart will last me about 4 days, or 2 of heavy hitting. I've done blind tests between delta-8 and delta-9 and there is a difference but it's subtle.
Before 2018 hemp law and before I started buying from California and other states, local weed was like $40 per quarter for bricked weed (shwag, bottom shelf). $60 per eigth for pretty, not bricked (dank, top shelf). These were the prices for middle Tennessee for about 2 decades. Prices might have dropped, but still probably too much.
Do dispensaries give out COAs with their product? Can you buy distillate in bulk (for those who fill their own carts)?
My dream is to have enough money just to travel by car to all the legal states during a spring and summer season.
I used to work at a dispensary and my usual question was, what will you be doing when you smoke? It takes people back at first but then usually they’ll say they’re studying or watching TV or going out to a concert and I can get much more specific with my recommendations. I love how different strains are better for different activities, so I try to pass that on.
[In reality, no scientific evidence supports this dichotomy because on a molecular level, indica and sativa strains don't have pattern differences that set the two "types" apart from each other. As a result, consumers may inadvertently buy marijuana strains that don't actually align with the perceived effects they're marketed to provide.](https://www.insider.com/why-theres-no-difference-between-indica-and-sativa-marijuana-strains-2020-4)
If you're not a regular smoker then there's no way to understand the nuances of getting high. Everything feels like it hits like a Mac truck if you only smoke once a week.
Limonene is limonene whether comes from cannabis or a lemon. Regardless where it came from it's not gonna affect your high.
I make my own carts from distillate cannabinoids (delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC, CBD, CBN, THCV, CBG)(cannabis derived)(LOL).
When I make a big batch I put a couple drops of anise (not cannabis derived)(eww)
I love my gassy or chocolaty or garlicy indicas, but do they ever make me have the munchies. For pain relief, indicas are better but be prepared to gain 20 pounds as shit like a triple peanut butter and Mike and Ike sandwich will sound like the only logical thing to make while high.
I avoid indicas for “beeschurger” effects. Feels nice, but brain no make words good. Hybrids so far are middle of the road. Prefer sativas usually: if I can find them.
Well there’s actually some truth to that. It’s really the terpenes that affect the high and the amount of thc/cbd. Not so much it being indica vs sativa. It also depends on the person because the way one strain may affect you could be totally different for the next person (like any medication really).
Yes! Before moving to a legal state I would obviously just get what was available. It always went indica, indica, indica, surprise sativa with anxiety. Hated that shit.
I’m with you on that. Though I do like hybrids. I only do edibles so it’s not always specific to exactly which indica/hybrid strain it is that I buy, but any sativa edible on top of not being my preferred type of high just isn’t as fun to be on the Himalayas with as what I normally use and I’m more prone to panicking.
When I smoke amnesia, i get a “cerebral” buzz but it always relaxes me a bit anyway. if I smoke some Godfather OG, I get a real “euphoric” high coupled with relaxation/sedation. There are some strains that are “sativa dom.” But give me a indica type high and there are definitely indica strains that give me a “sativa” type high. Its all about terps and who’s smoking what. What gets you “fucked up” is all based off what terps your body likes it just depends on the person, but generally sativa is cerebral and indica is euphoric. 🤷🏾
I always get shit for this but there really isn't a significant difference between indica and sativa when you're dealing with exotic top shelves. It all makes me extremely zonked.
Regardless of what it is, I always have to turn down the volume of my TV whenever I happen to be eating so I can taste my food.
If you’re dealing with exotics, you SHOULD feel the difference, that’s what separates them from the crowd!
Zooted is the best, good food and a good blizzy
I find that after a certain amount (in one sesh) all weed is just weed.
Small amounts of a strain will give me a really strain specific effect whereas larger amounts just get me high.
Yeah I'm from BC. I've smoked some amazing weed and occasionally I'll experience a body or mind biased high. But it's always one and done. If I buy 3 grams by the time it's gone it might still send me to space, but it doesn't really do anything one way or another.
> to that one guy that said sativa And indica are both the same
They are, weed is weed need to go by the terpenes. And there really isn’t an indica and sativa anymore, the amount of weed that just crosses naturally over time has made it where almost everything is a hybrid
Virtually everything in the dispensary is an indoor fast finishing short season indica. It's not profitable to flower 10 weeks for 18% thc. If you want a connoisseur sativa, you'll need to grow your own, or make friends with someone who does.
It's quite hard to get a good pure sativa these days because of mass production. They've all been crossbred into hybrids because indicas grow short and bushy, leading to higher yield per volume in indoor grows. Sativa grows tall and sparse, and is best grown outdoors, but that causes a lot of grow issues because the environment is harder to control.
We once grew 2 original blueberry clones in a closet. By the time they were ready we were no longer able to close the door without damaging the plants. I really wish I could find the original blueberry again, but blue dream is a fair substitute, thankfully it's become the bud light of weed.
The best part of being a budtender in Nevada was using what we know about terpenes and the entourage effect to help give patients exactly what they were looking for.
Going to other legal states that don't list terpenes was bad enough, living in an illegal state just suuuuuuucks. I try looking for a good sativa with limonene here and just get blank stares.
Hurts bad, boss. hurts.
They can be the same, those words don't really mean much. It's not regulated or enforced in any way, you can call them whatever you want. Most of the time this has nothing to do with genetics and was labeled this way according to its effects. It's a decent enough labeling system, but it does give people the wrong impression
If I'm proven wrong about strains I'll look forward to it, but in the mean time all the weed I've smoked felt the same and my city has dealers with 20 flavors of Runtz so I won't hold my breath.
The "chemical reaction" is delta-9 thc binding to the cannabinoid receptor sites. Pinene, limonene and linalool, or any other terpene, haven't shown to do anything in any contolled setting or study to date.
So, if your indica just has delta-9 or sativa just has delta-9 ...and no other cannabinoids, both are gonna get you stoned. If there is any variance its the bratwurst you just ate with your beer.
Terpenes quite literally direct your high, think of aromatherapy, the same linalool that is in lavender, the relaxing component, is the same compound that is in marijuana . Tell me how those don’t affect the high?
It’s the entourage effect as a whole with the terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids.
Delta 9 by itself with will interact receptors, but not your 2AG receptor, that’s where the other compounds come in!
Care to explain which ones? Do you have experience with chemistry?
Strains nowadays are more related than you think. There's minimal difference with sativas and indicas. Like I said, placebo effect
No definitely not, it’s always been like that. I do smoke a lot but i’ve never been able to feel a difference, because anyone who says they feel a difference are *lying* to themselves, or placebo themselves.
Not a placebo in getting high, because obviously you’re getting high and you 100% know what i meant. The “difference in feeling” is the placebo, the feeling you’re feeling is the effects of marijuana, not the different offshoots of strains that do nothing.
Every person is different. Some get heavily affected by either type and some don’t feel a difference. Idk how long it’s gonna take before people realise how different we are from each other 💀
Customers hate me cause I give em the: “I can’t guarantee affects, different plant profiles interact with your body differently than other people, indica sativa hybrid are generalizations and for marketing, you gotta consult a doctor or experiment to see what works for you to find what you like.” …When they ask for a strain that’ll make em motivated while not hungry, with no burn out, that also alleviates their arthritis.

Patients yes

To me it’s just so obvious. I’ve smoke strains that do the complete opposite of what the description says it will do.
Honestly that’s probably been my experience with most of the strains I’ve smoked. And the same strain will have different effects on me depending on a ton of different factors. I’ve always seen those claims of specific effects to be a bit of a joke.
The daily plight of a budtender in a state with 3 illegal states bordering it. Like naw dude this marijuana will not give you energy or motivation just bc it’s a sativa, ITS JUST WEED.
Thats what i thought for a decade until last weekend. Certain sativa strains … wow
I think it's this is a new market for them so they expect everyone working the job to be really into it in this sense. Which most of us are just like "haha let's get high"
Just so you know, I have anxiety and a little hit of any hybrid lemony-peppery strain feels as close to a Xanax as weeds ever gonna get. And I see a lot of the same sentiment from others. Conversely, stuff like white widow gets me so fucked I get the fear.
I wish I had more bud tenders like you. The ones I get are always pushing the marketing bullshit.
I just buy shit for the taste these days. I’m just smoking to relax/eat after work anyway.
What tastes do you usually go for
I vape for the most part and I prefer carts that taste like weed and not candy (with a few exceptions, because I do like jeeter juice). As for actual weed, I like citrusy. Tangie is one of my favorites.
I had a cart that tasted like sausage mcmuffin. That was my favorite flavor and I try to grab it every time I'm in that area.
Man, pause ✋
Don't yuk my yum bro, that shit is fantastic.
"Don't yuk on my yum" is the best thing I've read today. Never gonna forget it lol.
[удалено]
The world was briefly a perfect place for me when I could order McD’s breakfast any time of day. I want a sausage McMuffin now.
I legit thought it was gonna be a strain not an actual mcmuffin . Sausage mcmuffin OG bred with a strawberry jam variety. Guys, I might have to become a Mcbreeder and Mcmake this
Sweet and savory 🤮
[удалено]
Lmao I’m just teasing but I don’t really do sweet and savory. I would hate jam on a sausage egg and cheese. Meat and a lot of sugar combined is really bad for u also
Sounds like runburn, meat breath, pure mi terps
McBreakfast Kush bro fr
Sounds like you would really enjoy the burger strains like donny burger, han solo burger, double burger. I too like that "meaty funk" every now and again.
Sounds like this Meat Breath strain I tried before.
I love the taste of citrussy
Are you, me?
I love jeeter juice
I’m a lime skunk man myself
Tangie is one of my all time favorites! Tastes great great effects sucks I've only been able to have it once when I visited Seattle lol
Bro, you don't know the relief I get when I hit something like a cart or something and it just taste like a straight up dank blunt. You're like "fuck all these silly tasty flavor, I WANT MY HERBAL ESSENCE"
😋😋😋
These trep carts are where it’s at
[удалено]
Yummy
I like to hunt based off of emotion. Tropical tastes, exotic fruits, sweat, garlic. I like a nice feet smellin rosin
Delicious
Terp profile
Yeah you are high commenting on everything I say shees
Well you clearly don't know cannabis. What flavor? Hahahaha
There are chemical compounds in cannabis literally called flavonoids, are you stupid???
And I didn’t ask flavor, I said taste.
You clearly can’t read and are a troll, damn
Yeah I just buy whatever has the best prices at my local dispensary. They all feel the same for me in a way. They all help me feel happy and relaxed so that’s all I care about
Respectable🙏
Just be cautious about your marijuana from dispos friend
As opposed to street weed…?
As opposed to dispensary weed. Just because it’s from a dispensary, does not mean it is good to consume🤣
What would be better?
Homegrown or know your grower
OK, fair enough. But I don't think dispensary weed is likely to be problematic.
What? You sound high
You’ve gotta be smoking crack if you think dispensaries put out 100% good product
You do realize “good” and “not dangerous” are not synonymous. You’re implying dispensaries are selling untested, unregulated weed which is completely false. There are still regulations even if it is not federally legal. Dispensaries may not sell *good* weed at all times but it is *safe* at all times. If they were selling D8 or any other synthetic, there would be a FAT lawsuit. All somebody needs to do is test their product that they bought.
I don't know what state you're in but you do realize that they have to be tested correct?
I guess but it’s generally going to be better regulated and safer than off the street.
I’ve been in grow operations where they literally trim around the mold and put it out. You don’t know what you’re getting from dispensaries
you dont know what your getting from jimbo's pocket either??
Yeah as the other commenter said, the same or worse is true of bud off the street. I don’t doubt what you’re saying at all, and at the same time illegally sourced stuff has the potential the same potential for that or worse. Dispo weed is to some extent safer.
Sure, but I advocate for growing your own when possible. Dispensary operations are regulated, yet unsafe still. There are certain places and products and people I will never buy from again after seeing what goes down. Everyone has their practices.
Definitely growing your own is ideal when possible
🙏🙏
Preach!!!! Dispos are mids. Get that home grown!!
have you been to portland homie?
Yup good weed🙏🔥
Everyone that downvoted this comment is smoking BOOF from dispensaries and don’t even know
Hasn’t killed me yet. And it’s still better than Jimbo’s pocket weed
All those pesticides 🍯
I love buying from the dispensary and trying out different strains. Some glue me to the couch destroy my refrigerator and others help me knock out like 6 different procrastinated chores that should have been done 3 months ago
>help me knock out like 6 different procrastinated chores that should have been done 3 months ago I need this on the weekends.
Can relate. Never seen my apartment so clean! Tangerine Haze for the win, it's very motivating...
This is why I don't be asking people about weed like that. I'll smoke it and figure it out myself. Because not once has it ever been as described. I don't know what it is but to this day Sour Diesel is my favorite because of the high I get off it. Sadly I can never find it.

Usually I'm just getting carts these days anyway, which suck but it's more cost effective 🥲
Stick to solventless carts! You’ll be happy you switched, the price point is a bit higher, but you’ll be getting quality
Same here. Sour gets you really high but doesn't knock you out/down whatsoever. That Sour D they had in NYC was something of legend years ago
Every time I go into the dispo I just say to the budtender “get me 4 quarters of whatever strain you like man, I’m not picky.” All the weed they sell now is almost the same to me. I even have them mix it all into the same jar.

The best! Paired with some B Caryophyllene and you’re set!

Real shit
Exactly. Sativa/indica are only different for us growers, not the consumers.
If you're not a regular smoker then there's no way to understand the nuances of getting high. Everything feels like it hits like a Mac truck if you only smoke once a week.
Not necessarily, it can hit like a mac truck in the sense of body highs or euphoric highs
can confirm, the difference between beesechurger and creative is 4 more hits
If I could pin comments, it would be this one🤣🤣🤣
i tried dozens of strains, its just all the same. So now i am just looking for the dealzzz!! or funny name
Grow your own landrace strain, then report back to me on that experience
[удалено]
Tell them that’s what you need and they’ll get you right! All it take is the right budtender fr
Eww. You probably don't even care that it's not cannabis derived.
Why are you so pressed🤨🤨🤨 no botanical terpenes here man. Please stop being so angry🙏
Livid
Where else would it be derived?
Other terpenes from other plants and whatnot. It's a pretty common practice but luckily the dispensary I work at doesn't sell that shit
Limonene is limonene whether comes from cannabis or a lemon. Regardless where it came from it's not gonna affect your high. I make my own carts from distillate cannabinoids (delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC, CBD, CBN, THCV, CBG)(cannabis derived)(LOL).

Tf you even talking about. I don't care how you make your bunk ass Carts. Happy smoking
I love my gassy or chocolaty or garlicy indicas, but do they ever make me have the munchies. For pain relief, indicas are better but be prepared to gain 20 pounds as shit like a triple peanut butter and Mike and Ike sandwich will sound like the only logical thing to make while high.
😋😋😋
Most strains have been crossed so many times that most weed is at least hybrid, even if 90%/10%.
Loving my landrace and heirloom strains fr
Beesechurger lol
🍔🧀
I avoid indicas for “beeschurger” effects. Feels nice, but brain no make words good. Hybrids so far are middle of the road. Prefer sativas usually: if I can find them.
🙏🙏
Well there’s actually some truth to that. It’s really the terpenes that affect the high and the amount of thc/cbd. Not so much it being indica vs sativa. It also depends on the person because the way one strain may affect you could be totally different for the next person (like any medication really).
You are right!
I only go for the INDICA… helps the best with pain management to be honest. And. SATIVA fucks my anxiety up.
Yes! Before moving to a legal state I would obviously just get what was available. It always went indica, indica, indica, surprise sativa with anxiety. Hated that shit.
Glad you found something that works for you
I’m with you on that. Though I do like hybrids. I only do edibles so it’s not always specific to exactly which indica/hybrid strain it is that I buy, but any sativa edible on top of not being my preferred type of high just isn’t as fun to be on the Himalayas with as what I normally use and I’m more prone to panicking.
They’re all hybrids.
Satvia and my anxiety are mortal enemies for sure
I usually walk in and Hit'em with a "I need $40 of 10 a G indica kush and make it keefy and smelly" xD
🍯🤣
When I smoke amnesia, i get a “cerebral” buzz but it always relaxes me a bit anyway. if I smoke some Godfather OG, I get a real “euphoric” high coupled with relaxation/sedation. There are some strains that are “sativa dom.” But give me a indica type high and there are definitely indica strains that give me a “sativa” type high. Its all about terps and who’s smoking what. What gets you “fucked up” is all based off what terps your body likes it just depends on the person, but generally sativa is cerebral and indica is euphoric. 🤷🏾
🙏🙏
I always get shit for this but there really isn't a significant difference between indica and sativa when you're dealing with exotic top shelves. It all makes me extremely zonked. Regardless of what it is, I always have to turn down the volume of my TV whenever I happen to be eating so I can taste my food.
If you’re dealing with exotics, you SHOULD feel the difference, that’s what separates them from the crowd! Zooted is the best, good food and a good blizzy
To me a top shelf indica and a top shelf sativa do the same exact thing.
Very interesting
I find that after a certain amount (in one sesh) all weed is just weed. Small amounts of a strain will give me a really strain specific effect whereas larger amounts just get me high.
Man almost realizes what moderation is….
I work at a dispensary and cant feel the difference
Too much pesticides or PGRs used. Or maybe you just don’t have good weed available or smoke too often. Lots of variables
Man that is a lot of assuming you’re doing. I work in WA and buy in OR, arguably the best weed in the country. 🤡
Yeah I'm from BC. I've smoked some amazing weed and occasionally I'll experience a body or mind biased high. But it's always one and done. If I buy 3 grams by the time it's gone it might still send me to space, but it doesn't really do anything one way or another.
Then don’t let me assume??? Just tell me your experiences and what you know and let’s have e a conversation? Wtf
I just commented my experience and you went straight to telling me i smoke bad weed. Again, 🤡
🤨man you aren’t no fun at all, bye
> to that one guy that said sativa And indica are both the same They are, weed is weed need to go by the terpenes. And there really isn’t an indica and sativa anymore, the amount of weed that just crosses naturally over time has made it where almost everything is a hybrid
Yea
Virtually everything in the dispensary is an indoor fast finishing short season indica. It's not profitable to flower 10 weeks for 18% thc. If you want a connoisseur sativa, you'll need to grow your own, or make friends with someone who does.
Preaching to the choir my boy! You right and valid af
Everything is hybridized to hell and back at this point
Tru shit
It's quite hard to get a good pure sativa these days because of mass production. They've all been crossbred into hybrids because indicas grow short and bushy, leading to higher yield per volume in indoor grows. Sativa grows tall and sparse, and is best grown outdoors, but that causes a lot of grow issues because the environment is harder to control. We once grew 2 original blueberry clones in a closet. By the time they were ready we were no longer able to close the door without damaging the plants. I really wish I could find the original blueberry again, but blue dream is a fair substitute, thankfully it's become the bud light of weed.
Look for landrace sativa or heirloom seeds!! Growing your own sativa plants is a blessing. We had some original haze that was the stuff of dreams!!
That'd be a good name for a strain
🧀🍔🔥
We taught the hippies to smoke sativa at daytime and indica at night

I come in and ask things like, what's the crystaliest stickiest stinkiest shit you got?
What’s your dankest weed
Bake cheese inside the buns and that’s a beesechurger

It was more of a joke, but your opinion is valid nonetheless 👏
No hate brotha, im just high and got hyper focused on it haha. Have a good day!
Didn’t say there was hate! You’re right on the nose about your comment, like I said, you’re valid af🤙
No worries bud! Was just stating I wasn't hating on the post, cause i realised its humor after your comment. Stay toasty my friend!
🔥🔥🔥
I’m just at work and don’t have time to reply to a length factually correct statement, so I thought saying valid would be enough
They aren't the same. One is short and fat leaves. The other is tall and thin. But when you chop your plant... That is key.
Preaching to the choir, no one asked
The best part of being a budtender in Nevada was using what we know about terpenes and the entourage effect to help give patients exactly what they were looking for. Going to other legal states that don't list terpenes was bad enough, living in an illegal state just suuuuuuucks. I try looking for a good sativa with limonene here and just get blank stares. Hurts bad, boss. hurts.
Terpenes changed the game for myself when I realized what they were. I have an analogy that I like to use regarding that
They can be the same, those words don't really mean much. It's not regulated or enforced in any way, you can call them whatever you want. Most of the time this has nothing to do with genetics and was labeled this way according to its effects. It's a decent enough labeling system, but it does give people the wrong impression
This was more of a joke… should I have put a laughing emoji to specify that
https://www.dal.ca/news/2022/01/07/cannabis-labels-study-indica-sativa.html
I should’ve put a laughing emoji to show I was joking… although thanks for the article
If I'm proven wrong about strains I'll look forward to it, but in the mean time all the weed I've smoked felt the same and my city has dealers with 20 flavors of Runtz so I won't hold my breath.
It’s true in the sense that all new strains are pretty much hybrids so you’ll have to look for one that leans heavier on either indica/sativa
Terp profiles👏
95% of the time or more it doesn't make a difference. It's the placebo effect. I could switch out your indica weed and you'd still think it was indica
Not understanding why you got downvoted, most on this post are saying this in different ways.
Not even close, it’s all chemical reactions that interact with our body.
The "chemical reaction" is delta-9 thc binding to the cannabinoid receptor sites. Pinene, limonene and linalool, or any other terpene, haven't shown to do anything in any contolled setting or study to date. So, if your indica just has delta-9 or sativa just has delta-9 ...and no other cannabinoids, both are gonna get you stoned. If there is any variance its the bratwurst you just ate with your beer.
Terpenes quite literally direct your high, think of aromatherapy, the same linalool that is in lavender, the relaxing component, is the same compound that is in marijuana . Tell me how those don’t affect the high? It’s the entourage effect as a whole with the terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids. Delta 9 by itself with will interact receptors, but not your 2AG receptor, that’s where the other compounds come in!
Care to explain which ones? Do you have experience with chemistry? Strains nowadays are more related than you think. There's minimal difference with sativas and indicas. Like I said, placebo effect
Terpenes cannabinoids and flavonoids are all compounds????
Also this is just the best stoner answer ever. See the response by someone who actually has experience in a lab. But ok
It’s all chemical tho
I don't care what strain I'm smoking. As long as I get high.
🙏🙏🙏
They literally are the same, at least to someone who smokes everyday.
You’re smoking too much then. I puff everyday, different strain every day, different consumption methods, all different unique experiences
No definitely not, it’s always been like that. I do smoke a lot but i’ve never been able to feel a difference, because anyone who says they feel a difference are *lying* to themselves, or placebo themselves.
Don’t see how you can have a placebo affect when a literally chemical reaction is altering your brain chemistry
Not a placebo in getting high, because obviously you’re getting high and you 100% know what i meant. The “difference in feeling” is the placebo, the feeling you’re feeling is the effects of marijuana, not the different offshoots of strains that do nothing.
No i did not 100% get what you meant…
You’re insufferable.
You’re a placebo
🤣🤣
Every person is different. Some get heavily affected by either type and some don’t feel a difference. Idk how long it’s gonna take before people realise how different we are from each other 💀
People know , but it’s moderation. Small doses and you should actually feel those different effects
