What makes cannabis strains different?

[natel628]

How come one strain will make you high for a few hours, and a different one only gets you high for an hour, but they are the same high level?

the amount of chemicals usually determine the length of duration

Alot of it's how it's handled , dried , cured .

Alot of it's genetics just like us . = It's like diareaha man , it runs in your genes .

Well... there is a lot of things involved in the high.
First, there is the amount and concentration of the active substances (usually THC/CBD) in the weed. As larger it it, larger the duration of the high.
The intensity of the high (level of highness) also increases with the amount of THC/CBD, but only until a certain level. Beyond this level, an increase in the amount of THC/CBD wont make you any higher, but will only make the high last longer.
Also, there is the interaction between the cannabinoids in the weed. Some cannabinoids (usually CBN/CBD) can make the THCs effects last longer, so strains rich in CBN (and sometimes CBD) will take longer to kick in ("creeper" weed) but the high will last longer.

I dunno if it was here in another thread or another site but I read something about other terpenes having effect on the high as well.Myrcene being one. The chemical in mangos that helps thc get to where it needs to go.

The environment you smoke in and the state of mind you are in also play a huge role in how cannabis effects you.

[natel628]

that answers it pretty well. yea the environment definitely is a big factor

heres some info

Indica origins come from countries like Tibet, Afghanistan, Kashmir or Morocco, countries well known for their hash production long time tradition. Indicas are short plants between 3 and 6 feet, have broad leaves, are dense and often grow a darker green sometimes tinged with purple. As the Indica plant matures the leaves may become significantly more purple and the buds will be thick and dense. Indica are strong smelling plants with a "skunky" taste and smell. The smoke from an Indica is generally a body type stone, hypnotic and relaxing. Indicas are the traditional source of hashish. Well known indica strains are: Afghan, Durban Poison, Skunk, Papaya, Hindu Kush.

Sativas are originally from Mexico, Southeast Asia, Thailand and Colombia. Sativa plants are tall and thin, generally between 8 and 12 feet. You can say that a sativa is exactly the opposite of indica. The plant is thin, the leaves are narrower with a lighter green color. A sativa bud will become red as they mature in a warm environment and can turn to purple if they mature in a colder environment. Some sativa varieties can have yellow pigments. Sativa plants smell fresh, sweet and fruity and the smoke will get you cerebral, up and energetic giving a clear, up, cerebral high. Well known sativa strains are: California Orange Bud, Ice, Super Ice, New Purple Power, Swazi, Jock Horror, Maui Waui.
