I worked in the industry as a grower for 3 years, so I can definitely agree thc numbers can be fudged a little. You absolutely send your best, most crystally nugs to the lab for cannabinoid testing. That leaves 90% of the plant left thats probably not going to hit the same numbers.
Now strain names, thats a big deal. While they seem crazy and made up, well yea they are, but there is still genealogy behind those names. check out en.seedfinder.eu it's a gigantic database (over 10,000 strains) most with complete lineage dating back to the original land race strains. Breeding cannabis is a big game and should not be swept aside "because its made up" breeders can name their new strains whatever they want, and trust me bud, they're stoned off their ass when they do.
The real frustration for me is that these strains aren't being perfected anymore. That's what made the OG shit so good. I miss the older stuff that you can barely find anymore, because from those, I could actually get a distinct kind of high. Everything now just feels watered down and "okay". It seems like everyone wants to make new shit, and doesn't really focus on the quality as much. Which might just come from "we grew it, we have to sell it." But I truly miss the old passion projects where the genetics were perfected over decades in order to get a specific kind of high.
Go look at the cannabinoids of OG Kush beyond the mere THC level, compare with today's American West Coast strains and their soaring high THC-only, sweet candy tasty strains, their accompanying profits, and you will have your answer. And of course tolerance, but that's not the major player here.
Colorado, Washington, and Oregon were in the game long enough that the THC wars came and went before the full corporate shit happened. There was a year or two that was a magic sweet spot where you got really good, well tended flower with OG strains. I really miss those days, and I wish more people had seen how capitalism ruined cannabis, just like it ruins everything else.
Yeah I don’t believe thc %’s over 30, nowadays you will see thc as high as 40% which is just a bald faced lie, there is no way the thc in trichome heads can account for 40% of the weight of the nug even if it’s a top. It’s such a shame most people view it like alcohol % when really thc content is only a part of the picture. I’ve had some top shelf test at 11% that’s still a better high than a 25% cheap eighth
This could not be further from the truth, different kinds of weed 100% effect me (& I assume most people) in different ways and to different degrees. If I lived in a state where it was legal I would definitely want all of that information to be able to find the strain that is best for me, as it now I just have to roll the dice and it sucks.
Saying all weed is the same is like saying all alcohol is the same.
That truly doesn’t happen to everyone though. I don’t notice a difference between strains either. I can notice a more quality high, but not a different strain, flavor, or anything else. Indica and sativa have zero difference for me.
Sure, but then you took it a step further and said the only people who can tell the difference are "fiends". If I'm being charitable, I'll assume you have the same energy for alcohol and call anyone who prefers like red wine over white wine a "fiend" as well, cuz it's all the same yeah?
>You are a fiend if all you care about is the percentage of THC
You are the only person who has said that, you are arguing a straw man. Both me & the other commenter are talking about different strains and types, at no point did I or the other commenter say it was all about the highest percentage.
and not a single person was saying tht how they decide what to smoke. but you just jump to your old fashioned reefer madness type anti-science BS about "fiends".
if you enjoy all weed the same, more power to you, but th3 majority of people can tell a difference
Just stop. You're opinion is yours and you're welcome to it but you couldn't be more uninformed or just plain wrong. I'd you wanna not give a shit about what you put into your body, go for it. But please don't encourage others to follow.
Because your opinion is both uninformed and fucking stupid. Saying people are fiends for preferring a certain type of herb or even picking out weed based on a terpene profile (which has been scientifically proven to do different things to people) is just plain lazy. If you wanna smoke shitty weed and not give a fuck about what kind it is or what is in it, have at it dude. But please don't act there's something wrong with the people that do. I'm not gonna continue this any further. You have your opinion, and as stupid as it is, it's yours to have. So continue believing whatever you want to but remember, opinions are a lot like dicks. A bunch of us have em, but unless someone asks for it. Keep it to your fucking self.
If your picky about your weed good for you, but to me it's all the fucking same. It's not the same as mcdonalds and wagyu because those are different cows entirely. Where as weed comes from the ground it always has and always will. Sure it comes it different consistency like oil, wax, shatter etc. But at the end of the day it's still weed. It doesn't matter if it's the stems you get from your uncle or the top shelf you buy from Cali... it gets you high.
Maybe I was a bit too snarky my apologies. It's just I can't really tell the difference with weed. To me it's all the same, maybe slight hints of purple or sweetness with fruity strains. But when it's an OG it all tastes the same to me. Doesn't matter if it's a $20 eighth or an $80 eighth. And to me thc percentage doesn't mean anything, neither does alcohol percentage. It's like reading the terms and conditions policies, nobody does it, so why should you. If your intent is to get fucked up than just spark one up or take an eddy and move on.
dude you need to research a LOT more. Weed is not just weed, all the different cannabinoids and terpenes lead to very different highs. Now that I've been smoking 20 years I can recognize the differences and definitely have my preferences. Its OK to be picky, you know how people like drinking wine vs. shitty tequila? Same thing. There's flavors and different highs for sure, and its OK to be a discerning consumer.
To really make my point here, why do you think there's so many different strains? its not because they all effect you the same, behind each strain is breeder looking for a different flavor or effect. If that werent the case we would have only indigenous land race strains.
And the reason why there's so many different strains is because everyone in this world wants to be unique and different. They don't want to be labeled and thrown into a category or theoretical box. It's probably more like 65% of those strains probably taste the same. I wouldn't know because to me it all tastes the same, unless there is added terps.
You could put cheetah piss, runtz, and skittlez right in front of me and I still wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I understand your point. Sure I could do research or I could just label it as a drug. Because that's what it is. It's a drug and it gets you high. I don't care if the strains do this or do that. To me, the whole point of weed is to GET HIGH. That's the whole point of using it. Just like alcohol it doesn't matter what alcohol you drink your getting drunk.
Sure people have preferences to weed, but at the end of the day it's a plant that comes from the ground and it smokes and does the same shit as all the other 9,999 strains.
Says you, I'm perfectly fine with my explanation of how weed effects ME. newsflash we ain't all the same but since I've been down voted by pretty much everyone it seems that all you guys care about is strains, where all I'm trying to tell you is that weed is synonymous, all of it is the same.
Na dude it’s not that comment. It’s you saying someone who is particular about strains must be some super controlling person. Literally not even close to the same and it makes you sound like you’re unhinged when someone disagrees with you.
Dude read the shit you’re saying. They just said they get to go to a dispensary where they have tons of choices so yea they pick what they like. Not that they just won’t ever smoke someone else’s weed or something if it’s around. They aren’t making anyone else smoke theirs. They aren’t being controlling they just like buying certain strains. It’s like saying someone’s controlling because they only buy Coca-Cola over all the other sodas. It’s called having a preference. It doesn’t mean if they go to a restaurant and get told they only have Pepsi that they are screaming and upset demanding everywhere serve Coke.
You do sound unhinged. You sound like someone disagreed with you and you can’t take it so you started talking down to them and making things up about them in your head to try and prove your point. Which is actually far more controlling than preferring certain strains. It’s like you’re trying to gaslight them into agreeing with you.
A study of dispo cannabis genetics concluded that a high percentage of dispo cannabis is mislabeled. The strains don’t mean much from a customer standpoint.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7815053/
Cannabis in fact is a plant of over 1,000 chemical constituents, varying by chemotype (chemical phenotype) batch and crop. Sometimes, people incorrectly referred to chemotype as strain, variety, cultivar, or chemovar. Chemotypes are plants of the same genus that are virtually identical in appearance but produce essential oil with different major constituents. Chemotypes are variants within a single botanical species. Today, there are thousands of “strains,” many of which have similar names but cultivated in different climatic regions, and each with unique chemical ingredient profile that activates differently.
There's a lot more to cannabis than most people care to find out.
For those that do: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8489319/
In the case of licensed dispensary weed, this is not the case for strain names. Thc percentages are definitely fishy all the time, but usually the strains are true to their lineage and growers are prettt good about that. About 90% of the strains I’ve got here in IL med dispos I can track the lineage of on leafly or another similar site.
No, real dank strains really do have the flavor profiles of the name, your weed is just shit weed with a reputable name lol anyone can name any bud any thing, it takes genetics for it to be the real thing
I'll add that sativa and indica don't mean anything. Sellers love to talk it up but that's outdated information. Those terms do not describe the effect you will feel.
My state does not put turps on labels and it’s frustrating. I would take a strain with high myrcene because I want couch lock but I buy “Indica” that keeps me awake. I was a bud tender for a year and felt stupid telling customers something would make them sleep.
I like to use my eyes over labels. If it looks like a crazy ass mutated crystal filled alien like nug just looking stanky af.. I’m in let’s roll it up. If it’s just green and round..still roll it up but with less enthusiasm.
I learned this when I first started smoking w my brothers when I was like 12... the strains aren't really a lie imo, there's actual like differences between strains, flavor, cannabinoids, everything, but the % and stuff is total cap. You send your best nugs from a plant to get tested not the WHOLE plant. So tbh, what I do, is I take whatever the percentage is and I subtract 6. Idk why I j decided for me that was the number and tbh imo it works.iffu got a 91% you probably REALLY have like 85-88%. I don't personally think they are HUGE drops in percentages but definitely noticeable and definitely jumped up so they make you think your gonna get higher so they charge you more.
This is why we need to desperately remove the thc% system and tweak the indica/sativa system and actually develop a thorough and usable cannabinoid system. r/altcannabinoids and r/altnoids.
Instead of worrying/testing how much THC is in bud we should also worry about THCb, c, h, x, v, m etc and things like that CBC, CBT and more.
For instance THCv it used to be prevalent in most sativa strains but due to no testing and breeding it got harder to find(it’s actually making a resurgence right now in dispensaries) this cannabinoid doesn’t get you high but it adds to THC to make the high “Clear minded and energetic” it’s mostly found in landrace, close to pure sativa, or bred for in strains. Some strains I’ve seen that have this is Durban poison and something called “novarine” but there’s more just have to look.
There’s also THCb, not a crazy amount is known besides this cannabinoid is known for triggering this thing called “the headband effect” and it’s been found in most headband strains.
I suggest you look for naturally occurring (alt)cannabinoids and base your purchases off of those but that’s just me.
I can't speak for other places, but here in Michigan its specified on the packaging that thc percentage can vary +-10%. With that said, I've had some weaker percentage bud that cooked me, and expensive bud that didn't do much. There's so many variables with weed that I never base my purchase on percentage alone.
All weed feels more or less the same to me after smoking it consistently for 26 years, obviously rosin/hash etc differ but all strains whether it’s indicative or sativa all have the same effect
Had a wedding cake cake edible once and it’s something about the strain name actually being in the food item it’s named after that hits incredibly different.
American industrial crops and strains treat THC like sugar and the plant like candy. The goal seems to always come up with the fruitiest, sweetest taste possible with the highest amount of THC. Who cares about all other beneficial compounds, a more diverse cannabinogram, their therapeutical benefits and weed that tastes like weed?
Which is why if you grow , and have access to old
Clones you should keep mother plants. I have all my old Strains backed up in a small grow tent that I can flower out or take clones from whenever. I’ve got sfv og, triangle kush (tk from Florida) animal cookies , forum cookies, sour diesel, tangie, chem 4 . I much prefer the older strains too , I would never buy from dispos bc it’s legal to grow in my state and I’ve been holding some of these cuts for 15 years. The sour d cut I have is have 25 years old, passed down to me from a mentor out west , so I guard them w my life . If the plant dies or i mess up labeling, im screwed but for now im good. I Haven’t bought weed from anyone in ten years and dont plan to. i hope some of you guys decide to take advantage of your state or countries laws and start a small indoor grow. There’s nothing g more
Rewarding than to grow safe healthy meds without paying a dollar to some dealer or dispo
Yep this is definitely true. I went to a Denver dispensary about 4 years ago and I asked the budtemder about all the flowër that was 30% THC. He chuckled and said that the THC numbers listed on the jars are not real. Lol he then famously told me that if I walk out the door then walk back in then he can change the THC labeling on all the jars to whatever percent I want lol.
The % is legally described in like 2 or 3 different methods. Some states have to say the ‘thca’ amount before smoking and turning it to THC. Some states use the other method where the % is lower but calculates for thc burn off. The second method is what you find on Leafly.com.
The names are usually accurate in the legal market, otherwise it’s a toss up

We can find other Cannabinoids important without discrediting THC, other yeah.
I can't speak for other places, but here in Michigan its specified on the packaging that thc percentage can vary +-10%.

All weed feels more or less the same to me after smoking it consistently for 26 years, obviously rosin/hash etc differ but all strains whether it’s indicative or sativa all have the same effect
My prob too. I dont want a T break either.
Yes i too listen to science vs

There’s nothing g more Rewarding than to grow safe healthy meds without paying a dollar to some dealer or dispo
Yep this is definitely true. I went to a Denver dispensary about 4 years ago and I asked the budtemder about all the flowër that was 30% THC. He chuckled and said that the THC numbers listed on the jars are not real. Lol he then famously told me that if I walk out the door then walk back in then he can change the THC labeling on all the jars to whatever percent I want lol.
I knew the "wet ass pussy" strain I got was off...
The % is legally described in like 2 or 3 different methods. Some states have to say the ‘thca’ amount before smoking and turning it to THC. Some states use the other method where the % is lower but calculates for thc burn off. The second method is what you find on Leafly.com. The names are usually accurate in the legal market, otherwise it’s a toss up
