I gather THC:CBD:CBN ratios can result in slightly differing highs, but none of that is linked in any consistent or reliable way to strains, right? It's my understanding those factors are far more linked to how the cannabis was grown and cared for than the plant's exact genetics.
And terpenes are not known to be psychoactive, yet a lot of people say they can influence the high to be either more sedating or stimulating. Is that true? My gut feeling is that's also bullshit and they only effect the smell and taste. I could see an argument that they indirectly influence the high in the same way your set and setting influences it, but certainly not in any consistent, reliable way, and especially not between different people.
My experience with weed, regardless of the terpene profile, strain, or indica/sativa has been that it's all basically the same high and there is not a soul on this Earth who could smoke some flower in a blind test and tell you what the strain is or even just if it's an indica or sativa.
I could only consistently identify weed grown by the same people from the same process, and any random weed I could only possibly ID by taste.
There are real differences between strains for myself. Even the effect and often the flavor of the same strain/batch ball vaped vs smoked, vaped at different temps, in one-hitter, extracted/pressed and mixed with a fuel and vaped in a 510 rig, or made into edibles. Sometimes a lot sometimes not much.
There's different structures that metabolize thing and everything's made of some processes' metabolites, so it's entirely conceivable to me that some strains and methods of extraction with different ultimate levels of THCA, THCV, CBD, CBN, etc will interact with people in different ways.
