    Indica or sativa is still generally the best way to narrow down what someone wants. And the majority of indicas are gonna be heavier, and a majority of sativas more heady and energetic. That said, there’s lots that don’t. And for places like where I am, without terpene testing for flower, apart from guessing off of smell, indica or sativa is what we got.

    It also goes both ways. Some people don’t want to hear new info or try something different. I can’t try to explain that this particular indica is very heady, but if they want their Indica they can get it.

      Indica and sativa are literally meaningless, other then they are terms that nonscientific growers came up with to describe the two basic phenotypes they observed when growing. This has now turned into marketing nonsense about the “type” of high experience. There are other psychoactive compounds contained in cannabis and some interact with each other. None of this has to do with the plants’ general appearance.
