Well-known member
I would like to discuss some of the multi reasons for difference in effects from different cultivars.
while we all have had couch lock or cerebral medative to racing paranoid thoughts.
first it was CBD then its 100% terps with minor cannibinoids modulating slightly that was thought to cause the varied effect.
I have shared some of this but would like to set up a dedicated thread to this.
my thoughts are smell taste are more like set and setting while yes aromatherapy offers some effects it is very minor imho.
100% speculation, however i feel it is likely terpenes do not cause a change in effects how many may assume. my feeling is they likely are acting like solvents and allowing the passage through your lungs much faster which of course causes a change in effects (less first pass metabolism) and more faster to the brain. similarly to using fat or booze for a tincture, booze passes into your stomach faster. why sometimes those low number loud var get you just as or more high then the 25+%thc var with no smell.
secondly, myrcene and pinene typical of many WLD indicas are very harsh. this harshness I feel makes one feel down and out of it like you do being around any thick fire smoke. and when a uppy sat smokes harsh i feel i get more couch lock type effects. while may not be whole story my feeling is it plays a pretty big part. similarly why hashes tend to have a bit more uppy clear effects as you smoke much less and avoid the "smoke fog" feeling. This may mean that even bud structure resin moisture content may contribute to how it smokes and therfore effects.
limonene obv adds that bright fresh feeling, and under thc smells cause even more effect on your headspace, while also driving thc aster into your blood stream.
I wish i had more expereince with tests as I have a theory that cbn is created sooner and in higher quantities in WLD indicas. as mature sooner and have more amber trichomes sooner ie starting to degrade sooner to cbn. used to be they thought cbd was created later in flower and contributed to that downy feeling. another contributing factor may be less monoterps in later harvested cannabis which may decrease those lighter solventy terps that help pass the thc faster into the brain which likley causes part of the more uppy paranoid feelings.
my sense is it is 4-5 things happening and not 1 or 2 as we previously thought that causes difference in effects.
love to hear thoughts.
