There have been thousands, tens of thousands of strain names over the last several decades. Thousands and thousands of names but how many different strains or types are there? Do different strains have different effects? Is sativa THC  different than indica THC?What is a body high? a head high? which one energizes you like meth and which one will put you to sleep or a couch lock?

The cannabis industry the billion dollar corporate business model is much like the  food supplement business is a modern version of the snake oil era where a bottle of Kickapoo Indian oil could cure anything & everything except it never did. Dispensaries train their bud tenders  or guides to be salesmen & they train them to lie to you. They teach that sativa is for day time use is energizing and a head high while indica is for night time and a body stone. Bla, bla, bla, bla. This is flat out bull shit that was discredited many years ago. Labs in Calif have tested hundreds of thousands even millions of cannabis samples and have said there is no way to determine if a sample is indica or sativa those terms describe what a plant looked like in its original settings .
