I just like having the approximate THC content listed on the package. Choice doesn't really matter much when all I care about is if it will work as a drug
The next step is to pay attention to the terps of your favorite strains with the hope of finding the common denominator. That’ll give you a nice baseline to strain/terp hunt in the future. You now know your taste preference.
Why are they crying? They have legal weed in steady supply. The other guys are smoking whatever someone's cousin grew in their basement and they had to hang out with him for an hour before he sold them the underweight bag.
Unsolicited fun (?) fact: I have come to learn that weed stains are often named for their parent strains the same way exploited animals are.
E.g. Lemon Haze is Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze. I guess they just keep adding names lol
I'm with you though, I grow my own (from purchased seeds) and just toss the whole harvest together with no regard for the integrity of the unique strains lol
Modern weed called shit like "space chungus tripple skunk" just sends me into a paranoid spiral.
I was raised on bush weed and Aussie bastard cannabis and I'll forever be a bush weed and ABC lover.
I must be especially deranged. One of the strains on my bucket list to grow is an ABC cross. She's beautiful.
Yes. Other cannabanoids, terpenes, and flavonoids can vary quite drastically strain to strain, and at least some scientific research (and a lot of anecdotal evidence) indicates it makes a difference.
IME strain tolerance provides quantitative proof of this (if you smoke the same strain for many days/weeks the subjective effects will lessen, if you switch strains you'll suddenly get a much stronger effect).
It's also worth noting that the indica/sativa distinction is almost entirely marketing today, and most everything is a hybrid.

If anyone's interested this is a solid research paper that discusses this in more detail. Sativa and indica effectively mean nothing nowadays, terpenes are the true tell. It also talks about claimed terpenes and whether they existed in products purchased and how often each terpene pops up.
