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?

    If you gave someone 20% of the threshold dose of 5 different psychedelics or cannabinoids, it would probably have an effect because they'd be acting in more or less than same way on more or less the same receptors. Any subtle differences between them would probably not be distinguishable.

    But that's not what we're dealing with cannabinoids other than THC and CBD in weed.

      CBN, CBG, CBDL, THC-v, THC-p, the D8/D10 isomers - all active cannabinoids that have been discovered to naturally occur in weed. I don't know what concentrations they've been found in or how prevalent they are, but it seems like there is enough there to account for some variability? We're really only just starting to scratch the surface with lesser known cannabinoids.
