Question about different strains

There's many differences between strains. The best place to start is educating yourself on the differences between Indica and Sativa, subspecies of Cannabis. There's many differences in the structure and appearance of the plants but I'll just talk about the high right now. That's what's important at the end of the day anyway right?

So Sativa plants produce a more head-high focused high. Often very clear and energetic. Invokes lots of racing thoughts, laughter, and very uplifting. Definately the classic 'high'.

With Indica plants, you can expect a stoner, a more sort of body buzz. Very couch-lock-y and very opposite of Sativa. Allows deeper thinking and meditation. This is the stuff that keeps you glued to your chair because you just can't seem to move. No doubt, this stuff will get you 'stoned'.

Also note that cross-breeding of Cannabis is very popular and much of what you smoke will have been crossed with the gene-pool of the other species at some point. Plenty of pure Sativa and Indica strains exist, especially Indica, however hybrids tend to be the norm, leaning in favor of one or the other.

Note that highs can also be affected by growing conditions. Scientifically the plant's trichomes, or mushroom shaped glanduar objects located on the surface of the bud, which produce many of the resins, containing the cannabinoids we are interested in, THC and cannabidiol. Depending on when the plant was harvested will affect your levels of either, 'modifying' the sort of high you will get from that plant.

So the same is also true in genetics, Indica plants contain a larger percentage of cannabidiol, and Sativa plants contain a increased percentage of THC. Producing the different highs among strains. And different strains can also be more potent than one-another.

 

also different strains may make you act differently than other strains.

 

not really, unless you're a character from grandma's boy.

 

Anyone have other links I can refer to so I can educate myself more on this?
