    Indica and sativa are pretty much meaningless now, aren’t they? Like, strains have been crossbred so many times that now “indica” vs “sativa” refer to the effects experienced more so than any real genetic distinction?

      That, plus there’s a whole diatribe on what the naming even actually is, to the point where they proposed C. sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa to “clear things up” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis#20th_century

        Quadruple Sativa.

      I thought I had read something that said there never was a genetic or even chemical difference between sativa and indica, just the terpenes are different. Like how there’s all these different dog “breeds” but if you compare genetics they’re like 99% the same.

        Yeah, but the terpenes and cannabinoid profile is the whole point. Same way as dog breeds are quite different in size, fur, ear shape etc even if the genetic difference is <1%

      “more weed per weed”

      We can write that as “weed/weed”, which obviously reduces down to 1, because dividing something by itself = 1

      1 = True

      So therefore you are right. Congratulations.

    I care not for the genes, only that it makes me giggle on the couch uncontrollably for 6 hours.
