the previous response that strain controls the high is correct, but not the end-all final result - the maturity of the trichomes makes a tremendous difference - I have found that identical plants harvested at different maturity, can make a radical difference in potency, and the effects - how long the effects last, as well as how quickly they begin, are also affected by the trichome maturity - in general, indica will be a body-stone, and sativas are a head-high, but you already know that - the trichome maturity can be manipulated to make long-lasting stone, flying highs, even degree of 'creeper' and 'munchie' effects - (I'm still trying to fine-tune a 'no-munchie' strain, it may be a lifelong quest ) - in general, clear trichomes have little THC development - cloudy trichs have the maximum THC content, and amber trichs are degrading into CBD, and produce body-stone couchlock effects - :jointsmile:
