Sativa and indica is bullshit and I conducted a study to provide evidence and hopefully encourage other anons to do the same.
>background I live in Denver Colorado in a house my parents bought back in the 60s with my three roommates. We got into an argument over whether or not sativa and indica are bullshit marketing gimmicks. So we decided to test it for ourselves.
>methods We conducted three different one week trials. All three participants agreed to not consume marijuana in any form outside of these trials. Each night all three participants smoked exactly 0.3 grams of the same indica or sativa strain which was grinded with the same grinder and smoked with the same bong. Both the bong and grinder were cleaned before each trial night. None of the participants were told which strain they were smoking, but they were informed that only indica and sativa would be tested (no hybrid strains). Each night all three participants reported one hour after consumption rather they thought the strain was sativa or indica. All three participants were not allowed to share what they thought the strain was with each other.
>Results pastebin JR7wV6af Participants reported the correct strain 52.3% of the time in trial #1, 47.6% of the time in trial #2, and 38% of the time in trial #3, with an overall accuracy of 46%.
>Conclusion There is no meaningful correlation between a strain being designated indica or sativa with the experience of the high.
>Discussion I understand that were just four stoners trying to find the truth to our weed, so take these results with a grain of salt. There is no official registry of the genetics of these strains so what one dispensary calls Jack Herer may have the same genetic lineage as a strain sold as Afghani Kush at another dispensary. However since that is the case it means you cannot know with certainty rather a strain is truly indica or sativa even if there is a real difference between the two.
Is this a pasta? Anyway cool way to get stoned. I also like to address seriously the effects of the drugs I take, even if is just for fun. Sadly my thyroid is in bad shape and the results vary based on that

Maybe both strains are just trash ditch weed or you're all noobs?
Pro tip: don't mix alcohol, tobacco, sugar, or caffeine with the weed if you want this test to be scientific. Also, don't use people who are new to the sensation to begin with. It is like distinguishing between different types of wine. You're really not gonna be able to call out types until you've tried a lot of them. The differences aren't profound like different soda flavors, they're subtle.
Cameron Hall
Oh, and also, don't use hybrids in this test until you can tell the difference between pure strains.

>marketing gimmick i dont see how that makes any damn sense since ive been hearing about sativa and indica long before it was ever legal medically or recreationally. youre fucking bored and need a new hobby
Robert Thompson
I always tell myself i like indicas more but i have had strains of sativa of flower and carts that i thoroughly enjoyed. Hell OP maybe ur onto something. One time i made a guy i buy weed off of laugh really hard because hes like yeah this is blah blah indica this is blah blah hybrid and im just like "DOES IT HAVE WEED IN IT?" lmao still quote that yeah boiiiii

The terms Indica and Sativa come from the first two cannibals plants that were ever cultivated. The genetics for these strains is so lost that no one will ever be able to grow them again in their true glory. The terms used today mean nothing scientifically. People call a plant Indica if it makes you calm down and Sativa if it makes you energized. There is no test to determine that. Its an arbitrary idea at this point.
Owen Cooper
This sounds sensible. However if i couldn't drink while i smoked i might off myself
Caleb Bennett
Try Sativa
This is total bullshit, I can smoke Sativa Vape carts all fucking day and do whatever I want and nap if I have time and am lazy. I take 2 puffs of indica and I'm on the couch lights off eating cookies until my insulin spikes and I pass the fuck out.
Jayden Myers
Cool story. I have persistently gotten a cerebral high from sativa and a body high from indica, and I have been smoking way too long for it to just be a placebo. Sativa makes me stay up all night and indica knocks me out, I don't know what else to say about it.
And strains aren't "designated" as either sativa or indica, they are entirely different plants. That's like saying people are "assigned" a gender at birth.

If you have a weak tolerance all pot will make you feel tired. Its only after you accommodate yourself to THC that the different terpenes will actually have an impact. Its the type of terpenes with THC and other Cannabinoids that produce different highs. Not just THC %
Almost everything on the market, both legal and illegal, is a hybrid of some kind. But yes, there is a fairly big difference between sativa and indica and if you don't agree you probably haven't tried either
Easton White
You are a brainlet. Smoke less weed isn't for everyone.
Jonathan Edwards
Okay do my test. All 3 of you get a job at lets say mcdonalds. Smoke indica, I predict You will be fired after a week. Smoke sativa and after a year you will be manager.
Christopher Young
I've taken classes on clinical research and this is somewhat on that idea. Like you should've set a control of some sort like idk weed that had an even mix. Also should have done it for longer to see if consistency could possibly lead to better detection. Also weed is different for everyone and with four people, i understand this wasn't a full blown experiment so you couldn't get more, it isn't very effective.
you did ok for the resources you had thought.
kinda cool, but also a bit gay bro
Chase Parker
There's already plenty of evidence proving that sativa/indica do not mean shit in regards to THC content and how a high is produced. To truly know THC content, you must scientifically test it for it's cannabanoids. As for what "type" of high that may be produced, that varies from person to person, but usually the particular types of terpenes that a strain produces will point you to the type of high you seek.

whats the difference between indica and using cbd oil? i mean,doesnt cdb oil have some sort of anti anxiety effect

Isaac Fisher
BC Cred Forumsro reporting in. Actually have gubbmint cannabis stores here. Three in my town alone. Image macro is true. Indica pisses me off coz it's too fucking mellow. Sativa on the other hand makes me paranoid but I prefer it because it stimulates my brain so I use very small amounts and coast. Hybrids are annoying like a bisexual who can't make up their mind which team they wanna play on.
cannabidiol mitigates the paranoia . If smoking gives you anxiety buy Indica or a sativa with a high cbd
Jacob Green
Indica and stavia do exist for me be it in rare occasions and most of the time I just get a generic high or stoned feeling
Noah Phillips
3 people and three nights. Then they told you how they "felt." And I assume the interviewer knew which they smoked. Do you even understand margin of error? Don't fucking give me fractions of a percent with that tiny sample. I'm not saying your findings are wrong. I'm saying that this barely qualifies as an experiment.
Mason Rogers
Op is retarded. I’m a heavy smoker and would definitely tell you, there is a difference. Op is a lightweight pussy. 0.3 grams probably fucked him up so much that he couldn’t tell the difference. Not a pothead, he’s a fake, he reeks of it.
Jayden Cox
Recent studies of cbd oil in the United States found that MOST of the shit available contains synthetic cannibinoids (spice, bath salts etc). It's not safe. Come to Canada on Vaycay. Health Canada rigorously regulates all cannabis products here and controls quality and purity.
yeah,probably the war on drugs supporting trump administration.how about this,ill care about studies done by people who arent biased and havent been outspoken against drugs
also,canada is a bigger shit hole right now then america.and in terms of cannibinoids,there's not enough thc in cdb oil to get high from.so yet again,get some legit facts instead of listening to your bible thumpin anti drug people because they dont know shit
Parker Walker
the irony about it is,jeff sessions will cry about marijuana.but what about the opiod epidemic,guess the rednecks who voted for drumpf who are abusing opiods are somehow better then the people who smoke marijuana
Xavier Butler
also,why would anyone want to go to canada on vacation? its a shitty socialist country and you have a bigger joke leading your country then donald trump
either way,on the subject of marijuana.im done arguing.because honestly,im not for or against marijuana.i just hate extremists
Parker Howard
No, I wrote the post you are dissing and I use cannabis and am accurately reporting a media conducted study done by various independent labs. CBD Oil can come as a standalone or WITH THC. People I know who use it for spinal pain use straight CBD oil during the day and the blend with thc at night when they are off work. Their annecdotal reports suggest BOTH give them relief, likely through reduction in inflammation while the version with thc has the added benefit of helping you concentrate on things other than your pain. As in the united States shit obtained on the internet or illegal dispensaries can be corrupted. Since stuff obtained from government sanctioned dispensaries is checked rigorously by Health Canada it can be trusted waaay more than products originating on the black market. Also, go fuck yourself.
just got in her and boyyy weedheads are opinionated

Wow why is this not published as a peer review journal
Dude, I can tell you guys smoke entirely too much bud. I even suspect y'all are into concentrates.
But seriously, including the strains is more important than including you live in Denver. Also strain testing is kind of shit If you've already been awake 8+ hours before smoking. Everything feels kind of indica after 5pm.
We would also appreciate if you stop giving us a bad rep. Thanks
bruh, are you high? lmao i've been smoking for 9 years, been a judge to a few cannabis cups.
sativa dominant strains make me anxious as fuck and paranoid. i don't even need to hear the strain name or if it is indica or sativa, to know what the dominant genetics are.
also, terpenes change the type of high a lot. i actually even tested some pure indicas with different terpenes on them, some gave me more of a sativa high without the anxiety.
the thing is, most people don't really concentrate on what they're exactly feeling. others get some of the placebo feeling upon knowing if it's indica or sativa (because they don't focus on what they're feeling, but how they're 'supposed' to feel)
Also, i've had strains that totally fucked me up (in a good way) where i just said, damn - this shit is compatible with me. Other people smoking the same strain didn't react the same way as i did to it. Personal preference? Qualia?
Shit, just enjoy the high and medicinal values you bedroom stoner scientist.
Brody Butler
Just to be clear, I have no skin in this fight so I'm only asking out of curiosity. I'm a former stoner from the 90s early 2000s. While I can buy that the sativa v indica argument may be full of shit (more than half of what comes out of potheads' mouth about their questionable hobby is anyway and always has been. Come at me bro), I can't deny that I have experienced highs that were very characteristic of the two different descriptions you posted. Did your results tell you anything about why that would be if it's not directly related to the strain?

I know when I’ve smoked an indica when I really feel it in my body. I feel warm and tingly. Sativa is purely a head high, I rarely get that body feeling. But I mostly smoke hybrids so I get a bit of both.
Without any tolerance, I can’t tell the difference between either. I just feel blasted as fuck. On a regular tolerance it’s much more noticeable.

Has to be a troll post. They are very different at high thc levels. Indica makes me pass the fuck out and wake up groggy. Sativa is very light with no such after effects, much more energy inducing.
Nathan Torres
I've wondered. Thanks for the report. I suspect overall health and external causes have a far greater effect. I haven't had weed in about two decades even though it's legal here, but a lot of stress has been resolved and I'd like to celebrate. My bongloader friends suggested sativa based on my druthers. I might as well try that. Sounds like it may not matter anyway.
