For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.

after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/

in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing

Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

I think its more complicated than people think

If i vape Animal Mints or Obama Runtz at 180c I get sativa effects. If it vape Gorilla Glue 12 at 230c I will get indica effects. Yes smoking brings out the expected effects but the fact I can tweak the effects via temp makes me think its not as easy as indica/sativa

Furthermore, some sativas like Acapulco Gold or J1 are like a cup of coffee in the morning. Legit clear headed energy. Something like the Pink Lady is a sativa but it is more chilled. I think terpenes have a very big part to play in it. Maybe the kush terp has indica effects and that's why despite being a sativa, the Pink Lady doesn't hit like the J1 for example. I'm rambling a bit here but I hope you all get what I mean

Some Sativas can give me mad insomnia.

Indica never happens.

Love sativa and coffee during the day and indica before Zzz.

I think everyone is diff though.

I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam. With exceptional quality buds, you can expect to receive the typical couch lock and sedation with a good Indica and a buzzy euphoric racing high with a solid Sativa.
Dr Grinspoon at Katsu coffeeshop was a pure Sativa, it was like drinking a double espresso, no ceiling to the high, it didn't roll over, one for the morning...

Apparently some Sativa's can work the opposite on some people, and can couch lock them. Amnesia Haze is a particular potent strain, whilst it's a sativa, it can deck you.

Perhaps check Leafly or Wikileaf for further advice on certain strains.

Have a good one.

There's a difference for me, stick to indica strains as sativa always seems to make the heart race and the anxiety then comes on and spoils the high. Maybe all in my head but happens everytime.

Same. I can only do Indica

same for me, and strong indicas give me this incredible healing feeling that i just don't get from sativas

I've smoked 26 years, used to smoke anything and enjoy it all but now I notice a huge difference between the effects of sativas and indicas, every time I obtain an indica strain it's hugely relieving for my ptsd and post cancer surgery pains, and sativas almost always give me nasty anxiety. I'll still smoke them tho, because I'm an addict haha

I agree. Sativa is far more likely to make me anxious, whereas Indica is just a lovely, warm brain hug.

It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)

This is without a doubt important to me, after years of trial and error, I've discovered my ideal is a hybrid around 80 indica and 20 sativa, so pretty much something like a og kush or something, I've found a more sativa dominant strain will mess with my head, I get hyperactive and often get headaches, I can instantly tell if the weed isn't right for me, I think it depends upon you, personally I smoke for pain relief and mainly to switch off, I like the real stoned feeling you get from indica, it's like a warm blanket for your brain, I do have a very active mind so this suits me, of course each strain and type affects us in different ways, I can't say I've really every enjoyed sativa dominant strains but when I have smoke it I find it goes really quickly as it doesn't hit the spot, I'd say I'd be active with sativa as a rule if I had to smoke it .....

Alot of the time you can only really notice when it's grown properly!

In my basic opinion:

Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned

Personally regardless of the weed is indica or sativa its the terp profile like for couch lock it would have to contain a good amount of mycrene to get this effect other terp profiles do different things I would imagine if it was indica or sativa and didnt have enough of the terp profile in either of them for what ur desired effect I dont think it's down sativa or indica more of what terp profile that weed carrys

There’s a difference alright.

But also phenotype and harvest time play a big part.

More often than not it doesn't make much of a difference but there are exceptions. Maybe it was down to the terpenes, but...

So, I lived in Seattle for nearly 10 years and smoked on the daily and there wasn't any drastic difference in the effects of the many different strains on the go except for this one time that will forever stick with me. I had been smoking a typical kush number with dense nugs for most of the day before heading out to a place for hot wings with my mate. Dude pulls out a very straggly and wispy looking bud from Oregon, puts it into a bowl and we fire it up. Not a minute or two later that shit came on strong and cut through the Kush fog like a hot knife through butter. A rush of high energy blasted away the previous hours of smoking and we ended up high as fuck giggling like lunatics over hot wings. That's the day I realised that a real 100% sativa does exist and it's a fucking blast.

Seems to depend on people’s chemistry. I cannot take Sativa or hybrid strains any more. Make me paranoid and awful circular thoughts and insomnia. Indica Im easy like a Sontag morgen. I grew up with hash in the 90’s whi I think must have been mainly indica and I used to love smoking. When skunk came along it was hit and miss and paranoia used to be more frequent. Thanks to Lb I’ve been able to buy what suits me both in terms of hash and weed. Got some lovelY Northern Lights and Hindu Kush and Fanta hash which are right up my strasse.

I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.

The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.

However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.

Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.

Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?

I generally dislike pure sativas and hazes, but super silver haze is the exception for me, I've really enjoyed that many times worth considering have seen some listed on here

Dr Grinspoon, Sour Diesel, Ghost Train Haze, Mimosa. To name a few Sativa's. I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam, and I definitely noticed the difference. Sativa's or hybrids, will leave you buzzed, so best to only smoke these either morning or afternoon. Save the indica for late night, or a day on the couch with TV.

Hey mate.

Plausible deniability. Don't own up to the package. Deny all knowledge of it. They've not the time or the inclination to look further into a package with a bit of weed in it.

They'll ask if it's yours, where it came from etc. They won't need entrance into your home either but if you don't want neighbours over hearing the conversation if you've got nothing to hide at home it won't make a difference if they enter. I seriously doubt they'll conduct a search from what I've seen others in your position have said.

They'll just give you a warning not to do it again. That's if it has been intercepted by Royal Mail. There's a lot of sticky fingers within Royal Mail!

Hope it sorts itself quickly. It's a lot of stress for something that shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

ULC

Brilliant thank you ULC that’s put my mind at rest & totally agree it shouldn’t be illegal in the 1st place.

You're more likely to get a letter than a knock unless it's large amounts or it's tied to someone they're investigating

The criminal justice system relies almost entirely on people pleading guilty out of fear/pressure. Just deny it to the bitter end and make as much of a nuisance of yourself as possible (asking for police report records, specific details, copies of conversations etc) until they’ve spent more money pursuing it than they’ll get back in a fine and they’ll throw the case out. This is essentially what solicitors do cause enough trouble until it’s no longer worth the police time. This works for a lot of crimes and is always worth pursuing.

Amen

What was the quantity and does the seller have a history of good stealth? Like ULC says, plenty of sticky fingered posties have an inkling of what’s in zero weighted Jiffy bags these days and may have thieved it. RM just don’t need the hassle otherwise (it’s a no reward game) so unless it’s big and it stinks like (enter joke here) they won’t go there.
If it was big and it did stink and they do knock then you know nothing. At best: ‘some idiot friend somewhere might have sent it thinking they could use your address but you have no idea who or why or when’. Terribly sorry, terribly polite. They won’t want to enter unless it was a BIG order! A warning will ensue, leave it a while and only order very stealthy Henry’s in the future.
Worry not….🙏😇

Thanks Pollypuff was an oz & from my usual supplier who usually has excellent stealth. It was one of several peoples packages missing two weeks running so I think it is a sticky fingered postie rather than it’s seized but the worry is always there lol. Thanks again 🙏🙂

a run of packages is a stinker somewhere in the chain and it may not be the posties. your seller may have a new hire or who knows what operationally. the seller needs to make good on this regardless.

Same vote as yourself so fingers crossed

Hey,
I am late with the response, but i speak from experience.
I've been to police and courts because of sensitive packages arriving to my address.
It does suck when it happens. It also takes away any confidence in ordering again. I do not order from abroad anymore.
Luckily i live in a country where we have postal secrecy - only satan knows what is being transported by the postal trucks in this country (anything from human organs to most deadly drugs and weapons lol).

You got to remember that it is not a crime to receive a letter/package.
As long as you deny ever knowing about it or ordering it - you should be fine.
Don't leave too many tracks online when ordering.
And if they will offer to do a piss test (which at some point happened to me) - you have the full right to deny doing it. It makes no difference to the court and in fact it can be easily proved that such tests are basically self-incrimination.

Do not hesitate to ask if in doubt.
Cheers,
V.

p.s. By the way, ULC wrote a good post response to you.

I too have been down this route. Had to go to Police Station, denied all knowledge of it, used free-appointed lawyer. Very very scary, but in the end, investigation dropped....but it does mean I had to change my delivery address, which is a pain in the arse, as I can't risk it happening again.

How much was the intercepted package? Seems out of the ordinary to get as serious as getting a lawyer even if free involved. I know of somebody who almost certainly had a quart intercepted due to poor stealth but he just never got the package, never heard anything else.

I had several, from 7g up to an ounce.

I had 7g seized a few weeks ago due to poor stealth. I got a letter from the police pretty much advising don’t do it again.
Still the orders are dropping…

It’s why I strictly stick to vendors with a proven track record regarding stealth.

and who do you recommend

To stealth is Ghost town terps his stealth is super slick

I've not even seen him yet. Does he do live resin? Currently with Canadian Imports and can't complain at all.

He ghosted had some good stuff and then is gone, Ci is my go to aswell they are boss

was about 5g. Two cops at door. Package had been intercepted.

about 7g

I’m in the same boat! Deny all knowledge! Then they have to prove it was you.

And here's me worrying about a missing 1g of cheese in the post lol

I will send you a g what’s your adress hahahaahh 😉

Yeah okay haha
Really am missing that g of cheese though. Hell knows where it went

Postie sticky fingers most likly

I know it wasn't my post lady, she's lovely.
It either wasn't sent, got lost, or found out. Not sure. Hopefully seller Will reship

Mine was pinched by the posty, in that case you'll be fine.

I think that’s maybe what happened to mine

It happens there is many RM workers that smoke and if your aware of places like LB that ship smoke all day long through RM it’s bound to become known what packages has smoke and what don’t to a trained eye plus it’s the perfect crime nobody is gunna complain about there missing parcel when it’s packed with weed lol

If you don’t have it in your Possession they really can’t do much they can ask and you just say I have no idea what you are talking about it’s as easy as that happened to my pal up north they knocked gave a whole speech and he said i have no idea and they went on there way

Had a few knocks at door. 3-6 months down the line from royal mail specials being caught. It all depends on how the police deal with it. I had internal royal mails own polce force who turned up in a very very nice estate bmw and attire that looks more posher then ur usual plod.

they ask simple q's . - If it was ur name on the parcel might be harder to play dumb.

if it was big weight they may search but no one on this site should be selling weights.

with mine i was lucky i was dressed in shirt suit wear and just spoke politely. - Played dumb to it all and just by skill and some luck they left and asked where the best take away place was in this area. which also made me realis ethese police were not local and not normal police. which then lead me to finding out they have fib's or something. special internal royal mail police force with own cars and diff sorta hats.

if it's just smalll persy weed. They basically have to catch up on the file. Again it depends how badly they want to get you. They could get a search warrant They could even try follow you which has hapened to ppl in the past and then they get more evidence agaisnt them and take them to court. But yeh teh 2 times they just came to door. Asked if was mine. then asked if i knew person on the parcels name i used an alias. I denied all knowledge and they left and semed quite happy. This is why Specials and sigend for should not be used on any dark web market. but yet the lemming consumer fiends want to really put every one and themselves under attack by not managing their habits or life styles well waiting for last minute to get an order n pressuring the vendor to rush it out which gets caught. Bring back 1st class postage world wide. I sent personal weed to friend in india normal post landed 14 days later.. Its the ppl using the parcel system that fuckin it up. mainly the consumers which always mess things up to.

thats nation wide when you look at the south (i understand they are all thats needed to get things cooking) its 66%

OK but when you look at non-english speakers that might have heard this as "succeed" then the american dream is still alive!

I suspect the remaining 63% also want rid of that 37%.

Who is the 63% you refer too?

Saw this comment from the White House: “WW3 has already started. We just haven’t admitted it yet…”

It's world war 7 now, war from home.

Thats a very frightening statement,although I kind of agree as well...I think the sanctions though in time,if ratcheted up ever faster & harder,will eventually choke the "gangster regime" and make them 100% pariah state that they deserve to be,hopefully eventually ending in a coo followed by regime change from within..I'm forever the optimist though!

"gangster regime" could easily describe USA, Ukraine and UK

Absolutely! Change from within must come first

I heard on radio just now that 47% of their population aged between 20 to 40 years are currently considering immigrating to other countries,so if this is the case....change is already happening.

This is the “collateral damage” the elite talk of when war/genocide happens anywhere in the world…..so so sad 😞

Yeah....without doubt :(

Been saying this for years! Just fallen on deaf 🧏‍♂️ 👂

It seems as though the U.N have started to fold... the super power of the world is slipping away from America and Europe and drifting into the hands of putin and China...
China and Russia have been communicating about this for years... since 2021 (b4 Ukraine) China's sales from Russia went from 9% to over 36%... that doubled the year after!!!
The USA and UK blew up the pipe line to inflate prices on its own partering countries whilst China and Russia are creating an alliance that will see the rest of us diminish...
There's a reason Russia waited till after the Olympics b4 invading Ukraine..

Maybe,maybe not it might just be to sell lots of weapons so they can try and fix the inflation and devaluation in currency everybody was facing after the plague and having idiots that cant count in charge that have screwed up taxation for years,nothing like a war for making profit unfortunately Ukraine got the short straw.
They are all mental and need a smoke to chill the fuck out.

Well said and definitely agree it’s a means to sell arms 👍

Putin needs to smoke some of our OG Kush and really evaluate his ethics and morals

https://www.bitchute.com/video/a5GBB8UiCV0Z/

i think china could bust a move, the world doesn't have the will to even sanction them.

Hmm true, can’t see the UN having the balls lol

Hey..where does that Adolf Putrid toilet paper come from mate?...Id love to wipe my arse on his face every morning!!! LOL!

Let me know when you’ve found them, I can see a niche trending on these 🤣🤣🤣

Will do mate! This has given me some great product ideas so don't be surprised if you see me soon as a contestant on "Dragons Den"! LOL!

Mr X wants his 2.5% royalty fee’s please 😜

Haha!....But of course!

Do not watch mainstream media - it benefits no one !

The USA is going to send 300,000 troops to Europe and also base Naval ships next to Spain.

The UK has already earmarked £36 Billion ish over the next 10 years to ramp up the military.

We are now in a race to arms and NATO has declared war on Russia and China.

Does not look good.

Not sure if this is a good thing 🤔

Well, the world is complex. During the cold war there was more peace than usual, the Nuclear stalemate reduced the number of wars. It's only since it ended you see the re-emergence of historical conflicts and fabricated wars against terrorism. That was really alarming. You no longer had an identifiable enemy but was in a never ending war against a 'tactic'. I'm inclined to think, conversely, that WWIII would create more peace as strange as that sounds because it would only be in name and not actual rockets falling, the war has been raging in the cyber space for decades and is apparently the real battleground. Whats happening in Ukraine is a travesty but sometimes good things come from adversity. Another misconception is WWII was wholly terrible, and it was, but again it turned out to be one of the best things to ever happen for the poor. Why? WWII directly led to the introduction of the Welfare State, Free healthcare, minimum wage, pensions etc.. which all primarily benefited the very poor at a huge cost to life but those policies are still in place today, imagine if they weren't. Its a messed up world and maybe I have a messed up view.

its a good thing for the military - as always

There's a major over population problem that will only get worse in time.
So, unfortunately, I assume yes!

👋🙏we all know it. When the power of love is greater than the love of power the world will know peace. We also all know that with the wrong people in position’s of power all over the globe this is what we get history repeating power/control/greed/war/$$$ 😤😤 ahhhh😁 love to all biggaz and to everyone that hurts☘️🙏

You’ve hit the nail on the head there. It’s nothing but genoicide at this point. The world is over populated they have meetings about this… I wonder what sort of things they discuss 🤔

How to keep us fully vaxxed 😂🤡🌎

Possibly the 'safe' countries to hide. How to make more money. Too stoned to think of anything else lol! Global warming could also be the deciding factor!

F@@@ing love to be a fly on the wall at one of those!! Although I wouldn’t remain on the wall for long cos I’d fall off and prob get trod on because I too am quite stoned….🤣🤣🤣

this.

Idiot.

🤣🤣🤣

Definitely a market on here for that. I’d have some. As long as they’re genuine. Had a few fakes on here recently purporting to be Afghan / squidgy black old school hashes which have been complete garbage. Maybe start of with tester s and build trust first rather than low prices for 3.5g and above as it looks too cheap. Once bitten…

Well said winston. Been talking about this recently, had a bit of kickback from some vendors getting upset when I mention this….

I got my account banned for calling out the current 'afghan black' scammer on one of these threads

That’s rotten! I am really concerned about what’s been happening lately on LB, I mean this place was supposed to be about honesty and good customer service and allowing different viewpoints and debate. Seems like the customer is coming second these days. A shite state of affairs.,.

I had some of that (luckily just a tester) and it was garbage. Straight in the bin. I’ve left a comment on the same topic as yours. Either complete novices or scamming bastards.

Do you mean you have a load of soap bar and red seal? 😜

Sounds good, there are a lot of landrace hash lover floating about on here.

What can you get hold of?

Yes I would be very interested. Do you mean Indian charas or perhaps afghan black?

Short answer, yes please.

Definitely interested. Please share the love.

Sure, what can you get?

I just stay away from Cali branded shit !
So for me is rather off putting than advertising lol.

Yep. Great big red flag

Hear hear.

Yep me too.

I've never purchased any of these strains, but that they are an option seems only a good thing. There will be people that take advantage of that, just like there already is with any other claim of a weeds origin, or even strain, but it also allows the real deal to be sold.

I think we should be left to make that decision ourselves, not have them removed, which will be the result of a ban on claiming its origin, as that is what commands its price. There are so many options here, that no one needs to pay those prices for that weed, real or otherwise. My 2c.

Essentially, you can 'claim' anything. In the cryptoverse there is really no way to prove anything. If people choose to buy 'Cali' weed online, they take the rough with the smooth as far as I'm concerned. It's the buyers responsibility to follow up and ask questions of the vendor. It's up to the vendor to address any buyers' objections. This may be done with or without proof. It's then up to the buyer to decide if the vendor stands up to scrutiny or not. Banning the term 'Cali' essentially opens up a can of worms. Buyer beware and sellers back up your claims. It's simple as that. I won't risk 'Cali' weed because I cannot verify it. Seems like a pretty simple and logical buying methodology. Belief is down to you. Proof is the vendor's business.

Definitely, nobody is forced to buy anything and it's up to the buyer to determine what represents value for money to them

I think "cali" often means its a cali strain. But those who claim to be importing....umm....ive lost friends on LB for calling BS on that one may times hahaha

I agree. Though I know juggle boys have barcodes you can scan to check its theirs
