    Default What is difference between Sativa Indica and Hashish?

    My first question is what is different between Sativa and Indica? when i look online most popular strains from both races have around 20% THC and 0.01%-0.1% CBD and CBN depends on how late you harvest. so why should smoking Sativa feel better than Indica? Please do not use the word "genetics" because DNA is just a code that proteins touch it to get programmed and execute the code. there isn't noticeable difference between inhaling DNA molecule of a cannabis plant or DNA molecule of an elephant. origin of cerebral/body high need to be explained by chemicals similar to THC or CBD molecules that are very same in popular Sativa/Indica strains, all have high amount of THC and low CBD. (both Sativa and Indica have strains with very high CBD too)

    The second question is why smoking hash oil should feel better than smoking ordinary marijuana? i know there is more THC in hashish compared to flower but if someone vape more marijuana, he/she will easily get as much THC as they want in few seconds, isn't it?

    The whole thing seems like a marketing campaign created by drug dealers to sell more stuff similar to alcohol companies who brand drinks with different names to fill out their showcase and make more money

    Originally it was two different strains from two different side's of the world . One grew short and bush like . The other grew tall and narrow . One finished much faster than the other .

    Sativa gives you more of a "head high" and Indica gives you a "body high", if you want to keep active then you smoke Sativa, if you want to glue yourself to the couch and do a netflix marathon then you smoke Indica.

    I find I can achieve both stones with both strains just depends with you chop at clear cloudy or Amber . The true difference was that they were both the originals and both come from different side's of the world . For instance Jamaica and Afghanistan .

    You don't know the scientific reason for these effects? if you don't then it might be placebo effect. drug dealer (or seed seller) tells you to buy and use Sativa at day time then buy and use Indica at night time. you may feel something different but it is coming from your mind not drug.

    by the way what do you mean by "head high" exactly ?

    This may help you a little..

    (shamelessly copied & pasted from a different web site)

    "When it comes to getting high on marijuana, the conventional wisdom is that one of two species of the plant—cannabis sativa or cannabis indica—will determine whether you get an up high or you get couch lock. (A third species, cannabis ruderalis, has also been identified, but it doesn't have much psychoactive effect and is more hemp-like.)

    There is a good bit of truth to the conventional wisdom—indicas do tend to produce stuporous, narcotized highs, while sativas tend to produce giddy, exhilarating ones—but there's a bit more to it than that. And those relying on the good old sativa = up / indica = down as a guide may find themselves in for a surprise.

    The differences between the two species are evident to the naked eye. Sativas typically are tall and lanky, with long narrow leaves, while indicas are shorter, stouter, bushier, and have thicker, stubbier leaves. That, says Krymon deCesare, chief research director at Steep Hill Halent Lab in Oakland, is because the two cannabis species developed in different environments.

    He told High Times that marijuana's origins are in South and Central Asia, and that the plant differentiated itself into distinct species to accommodate different humidity regimes. The thin, lanky stems and long leaves of sativa plants allow the plant to respirate more efficiently and prosper in high humidity, while short, squat indicas evolved to deal with hot, dry conditions.

    Thus, landrace varieties — "pure" original strains of indica, such as Afghani and Hindu Kush— developed in the dry foothills of the Himalayas, while pure sativas evolved in humid lowlands and river valleys. But in the US market today, landrace strains are a rarity. The vast majority of the weed grown and consumed in the US is one indica-sativa hybrid or another.

    That makes sense, for both growers and consumers. For growers, even if they want that trademark stimulating sativa high, they don't want to spend extra weeks waiting for it to mature, so they use hybrid strains with varying amounts of indica that will ripen faster than a pure sativa.

    For consumers, hybrids are similarly attractive. You can get couch lock and the giggles without being thoroughly sedated or completely zonked. Pot buyers will look for a hybrid they think will satisfy their desires: Do they want to be mainly up with just a hint of a body high? Then they may want a sativa-heavy hybrid such as Haze, Blue Dream or Strawberry Cough. Do they want to get stuporous, but maybe laugh a little, too? Then they'll go for indica-dominant strains such as Hash Plant, Blueberry or Girl Scout Cookie.

    But you don't always get the high you think you're going to get. That's because growing conditions make a difference, and even stabilized strains, pure or hybrid, can exhibit new traits when grown in conditions to which they are not accustomed. But part of the reason is a bit stranger—and calls into question the traditional reliance on the indica/sativa distinction.

    "The terms sativa and indica are only really valid for describing the physical characteristics of the cannabis strain in a given environment," deCesare told High Times. "They are not nearly as reliable as terms for making assumptions about energy versus couch lock."

    He explained that the effects of THC, whether in indicas or sativas, are the same: It creates a euphoric, uplifting sensation when smoked. That sound pretty much like a sativa high, so if indica contains THC just like sativa, why does some indica leave you in a prostrate stupor?

    DeCesare has the answer. While both indicas and sativas generally contain the full complement of cannabinoids in addition to THC, and the same terpenes—chemical compounds that create odors and essential oils—some indicas are especially heavy in one terpene that flips the switch on the up THC high. That terpene is myrcene.

    "We found consistently elevated levels of the terpenoid myrcene in C. indica, as compared to C. sativa," he explained. "Myrcene is the major ingredient responsible for ‘flipping’ the normal energetic effect of THC into a couch lock effect."

    In fact, deCesare says, myrcene rather than THC is probably the most important variable in creating the psychoactive differences between indica and sativa. That conclusion is based on the analysis of more than 100,000 marijuana samples taken over the past seven years.

    He points to the theory of the "entourage effect," developed by his colleague, Ethan Russo, as a better explanation for different highs than the indica/sativa distinction. That theory postulates that it is the combination of different cannabinoids and terpenes working together that creates the distinctive highs of various strains.

    Myrcene isn't limited to marijuana. It exists in many fruits and plants around the world, and some of them provide additional support to deCesare's theory.

    "Notice the warm, relaxed feeling you get from a couple of hoppy beers?" deCesare asked. "That effect is, to a good extent, due to the myrcene present from the hops."

    In his work at Steep Hill Halent, deCesare has found that myrcene levels make a difference. A level below 0.4% doesn't seem to effect the "upness" of the high.

    But go beyond that and "the strain becomes increasingly more sedative and stony,” deCesare noted. “OG Kush is considered by most to be a strong couch lock flower at about 1.25% myrcene. A few strains have a myrcene content in excess of 3%. Other chemicals may well play minor roles in the couc hlock effect, including CBD, CBN and linalool, when they are present in couch lock strains—but they aren’t always present or as influential."

    Once marijuana is widely legal, myrcene content should be part of the labeling, he suggested.

    "Moving forward to a time when the USDA and FDA oversee cannabis-distribution regulations," he replied, "they will insist on accurate labeling to assure that if a customer purchases an energetic strain—or a couch lock strain—then what they get is what they paid for. And the only reliable way to make this determination is by lab-testing for myrcene content."

    Can't wait for that USDA-certified couch lock sticker."

    Marketing trick... lol

    For me the most distinguishable difference is the taste and smell.... Sativa generally tastes much nicer (my opinion)

    I do agree with the sativa head high and indica couch lock thing although both get you baked anyway....
