Like when people talk about sativa this and indica that and hybrid whatever and bubble gum triangle diesel cheese kush is there any actual science behind it? Or is it just all marketing?

See I'm just used to skunk, regs and kush meaning shitty, meh and potent weed respectively. So when people talk about this strain being good for creativity and that strain good for chilling and this one has a head high and that one is a body high, like is there anything at all to that? Or are all weed cultivars' effects just the THC vs CBD balance in whatever you're smoking?
Head high = sativa dominant, body high = indica dominant. Sativas originated in generally warmer and more humid areas and tend to have taller stalkier plants where indicas originating from cooler dryer climes are smaller and bushier. Indica is vastly more common at least in North America both because the shorter plants are easier to manage indoor growth and at this point just general popularity. Sativa is more likely to make you anxious if that's an issue as well, I personally prefer a sativa but generally have a large variety. Thc/CBD percentage are somewhat aside from that. Growing conditions and stuff affect that a bit more than strictly phenotype, I've found.

CBD is mysterious.

Oh, to be in a weed aware area. Here, it's 'indoor' or 'outdoor', with the good stuff called 'hydro'. Noone knows any better and I hate it
Jesus, that's some mid 2000s shit. Federal legalization is pretty cool. You can just get high quality shit in the mail for like, nothing.
There's no trichomes on this bud
"Yeah but its got heaps of red hairs"
"It's purple dude!"
"Yeah, frost damage is tight!"
Ive known two people who grew way back. One grew for personal use, one grew for cash. The personal bud was well tended, pristine, just gorgeous.
The cash crop was 10wk out the door, pumped full of PGRs and then sprayed with cola to make it sticky. Black market sucks.
The profit motive was a mistake
Our legal weed is shittier and more expensive than the 'black' market (it's a very very verrrry grey market). Unless you're moving bull or are have like, no middle men there's not really any money in selling weed. Most people basically just cover their own smoking with it. According to waste water tests, we consume the most weed in the country here, even before legalization it was pretty much looked the other way on.
Finding out that some weed gets cut with animal hair makes that adjective so much more revolting.
what weed gets cut with animal hair
Idrk it was something a dealer told me anecdotally, something about it being in Texas made it more believable.
A TON of new naturally occurring cannabinoids have been discovered since the 2019 Farm Bill made it legal to do research into "hemp." They've discovered noids like THC-v, which is more energizing and suppresses appetite, or D8 THC, which hits you like a super lightweight indica. Unfortunately, there's still very little research into this area.
But don't discount the power of marketing. I doubt there's really as large of a difference between strains as people say. After a long day at work, I'm going to smoke a bowl of whatever is in front of me.
