My wifes heart is not so great. She stays away from stativas. Smokes indica. Makes it race she says.

Like others have said, late-harvested Indicas are best, make edibles or just simply decarb some weed and eat some (start off in small amounts), until you find what kind of edible you like to make/consume. For times you want instant relief, a vaporizer is a convenient thing.
Speaking for myself, and also since I have a low tolerance, even if I have too much of my late-harvest Afghan, I can get heart palpitations for 20-30 minutes. I have a minor heart valve problem that gives me problems, but only speaking for myself and my condition, my cardiologist gave me the clear to have weed. The way he answered my question, I wouldn’t be surprised if he consumes weed.

My wife and I built our house on Lot #13 25 yrs ago and it’s been a great spot.

I was shocked. All I know, is always wrong. The only difference is the structure of the plant and how it will grow. No chemical difference.
If it is a placebo effect, why does everyone swear there is a differance. Placebos don’t work on 100% of a test group. What is going on? One explanation that sounds plausible is this. Indica matures faster than sativa in general. Large scale growers harvest according to a schedule and don’t check the entire crop for trichome ripeness. Nine weeks no matter what. Next crop in.
Could it be that the trichomes on the sativa plants are still mostly clear to cloudy.
Makes sense to me. Just putting it out there. Any thoughts?
Experiment proposal - Grow a 100% Sativa and a 100% indica plant and a 50/50 hybrid. Do several blind smoke tests with some friends. It’s hard work I know but somebody has got to do it.

In my experience the effect is somewhat situational. When I smoke I don’t have any expectations of the high and I’ve got over a dozen different strains to smoke right now. There are definitely certain plants that affect me much differently than others.
There may be the same chemicals present but I would strongly suspect much different ratios of those same chemicals produce a different high. Just my $.02.

Your $.02. is priceless to me. I never bought any smoke based on its strain or ratio of either sativa or indica until recently. I would smoke one kind and feel sleepy and another I would clean the garage on the way out to cut the grass. Must be that sativa.
Thats what they say. > Right or wrong I want to run that experiment.
From ILGM, I found a 100% Indica - Grand Daddy Purple. THC up to 23% CBD very low. Sleepy, happy and good for insomnia.
I can not find 100% Sativa seeds. Am I looking in the wrong place?
I’m still looking for a 50/50 as well.
Help please.
Maybe take a look at Durban Poison, it’s pretty up there on the Sativa %, breeders say 100%.

I liked the last Durban Poison I did and it was a solid yielding plant: just under 7.5 oz of flower. Here’s one cola from that plant:
I have two that I almost can’t smoke: Maui Wowie and Super Skunk. I grew two of each plant and only one from each cultivar was excessively racy. The Diesel strains are high sativa too.

Great info thanks. I’ll look into those varieties. Just for kicks, I want to start a little experiment outdoors during the regular season. Same soil, same environment and same TLC. Grow a few of each and have fun. Whatever the results, I will be able to say with certainty that its either true or myth. If a few of us here (with much better skills than me) join in, I can say that its been tested and we found that…
I made cookies with something like that. I couldn’t shut up. There was no one home but me.

I switched to lozenges after you mention them. I like them a lot. I used to chew a 4mg piece of gum every hour. I’ve found that lozenges dissolve slowly and I’m good for 1.5 hours with them without getting cravings.
