I only buy flower and I buy it legally in Illinois and it tastes normal, so I am guessing adulteration isn't a likely issue.
That said, I just ignore the information they give. I'm not confident they'll actually get it right whether it's a sativa, an indica or a hybrid and I think the idea that they accurately test the percentage of THC in everything they get to be silly. Also, does it even matter much if it's 19% THC or 23% THC? They actually go into the decimals in the place I order from. So it will be like:
DumbName ForWeed - Indica - THC 18.3%
I have no idea what to do with the last bit of that information beyond 'that may get me marginally less high.'
So I just get whatever is cheapest and I don't worry about it. It's not like I had a choice of any of it when I couldn't buy it legally.
In all honesty it’s all bullshit at this point. Generally they test the top colas for their THC% so it’s gonna be less in general than whatever the jar says. On top of that. Everything has been so cross bred it’s rare to find sativa/indicas effects based on the genetics. Unless it’s a land race/popular strain I just assume it’s all hybrids
Legit, we're still trying to figure out through genetics if cannabis even has species, or if it's all just cultivars of C. Sativa. We still don't know where to draw the lines scientifically. Literature is all over the place! The classic 2, adding in ruderalis for a 3rd, differentiating hemp vs weed, differentiating wild or landraces from cultivated populations.
All really interesting work on this has been done in the last 4 years! Super exciting time.
Yup. I prefer the type classification. Aka type I high THC low or no CBD. Type II even CBD to THC. Type III high CBD low or no THC
I think the existence of brassica oleracea is pretty damned good evidence it's all just cultivars.
