[enevitable]

alright im pretty baked right now so this might not all make sense, but here we go

you know the process of evolution right? survival of the fittest? well the plants develop different characteristics over time that help develop the different strains. they develop all over the world and in different enviroments, so naturally they act differently in their enviroments to survive. its the difference you knoe between like a lowyder and a 10 foot tall plant. so they each have different compositions, and each produce different amounts of chemicals. the amouns of these chemicals are also effected by when its harvested and how it has been taken care of. these different amounts of chemicals are what have varrying effects on your brain, and this chart will help you decode it, hopefully the rest is self-explanatory

credit goes to the colonel for an amazing chart

so in the end it just matters the make up of the plant of those chemicals, for the kind of high you get.

my dream if i ever have time on the side is, to do some sort of research into singleing out these properties, and creating ultra potent strains, kinda like the government g-13 thing
