Love how legalization just has resulted in yet another field for capitalists to lie about their products...
I don't remember a weed dealer not lying about how strong their weed is though, I'd say business as usual
Idk, I knew a dealer who used to say that people exaggerated and that none of his were more than "30%" since anything more than that is a scam, if only because of how fast you can process THC.
The cannabis industry, legal or otherwise, has always been full of lies and pseudoscience. If it's not the big business capitalists, it was the small time dealer capitalists.
When asking for suggestions, budtenders still ask me if I want Indica or Sativa. I always answer, "it doesn't matter." They should know it doesn't matter and not be pushing decades-old debunked info.
We, black market edible producers, categorize our caramels by what they are used for. Our customers then name them. Our big ones right now are Nite Nites and Laffy Taffy. I call them sleepy caramels and party caramels. I ask how much people weigh and how experienced they are and tell them how much I weigh and how much I take then suggest a starting dose and tell them how adjust the dose until they find the right amount for them.
Wait differences in effects between those two strains has been debunked? I had no idea. Time to look up research on it
Nah its more mismanaged, an 'indica' strain might not be indica at all.
Its like a bunch of stoners trying to guess what breed a dog is without knowing what a dog is tbh
The "Indica = sleepy/couch-locked; Sativa = energy/head high" belief isn't true. The effects are caused by a complex mix of chemicals that isn't fully understood yet, and few producers talk about. Sativa and Indica have very little, if anything, to do with it. It also doesn't help that the vast majority of strains are hybrids, making the terms even more useless. The terms are just slapped on any strain that is perceived as uplifting or relaxing (edit: or have a genetic mix being majority one or the other).
