your part of the problem pal (sarcasm... sorta)...
i don't get it. i'm just stating my preference, based on my own personal experience. I am both the problem and the solution.

I believe the trend is true. I find it so odd though. We are a nation of go, go, go. Back in the 70's we were popping benny's, now we love our meth. I love sativas. God I love them. Indica's def have their place. But I'd rather be high than stoned any time of the day.
on a percentage basis, meth is tiny. downers are the choice of most drug users seeking relief from life: alcohol, opiates, benzos, indicas. coke is for the occasional indulgence for most users, and meth is for crazy people.
Funny... Meth used to calm me down...
Crazy shit, glad is long over...
Perhaps most Indica users are, without knowing it, medicating against chronic stress and anxiety. I surely do sometimes at night.
this is what i firmly believe. life is hard, and indicas make it better. when times are good, maybe sativas are more appealing in general. I know NYC smokes mostly Diesels and Hazes (or, what they call hazes, i've never been able to believe that any ny commercial grower grows haze!), so certainly in that go-go city people like the gogo weed. Fuck, most people would get more unhappy sitting in their tiny-ass NYC apartments; they need a sativa to get them out and into the throng of people right outside. Maybe this is true for A'dam too. I know that in socal, it's much harder to find good human interactions and a lot easier to chill out at home and enjoy your (normal) garden, the weather, your dog...things that are nice and mellow and fun on indica.
Look, fundamentally, pot allows you to get "lost in the moment". Forget the anxiety about the future or regrets about the past, and just BE. Enjoy music, food, movie, but live in the moment. Both indica and sativa can provide this experience, but sativas have the potential to make people stress out more, whereas indicas are much better in that respect. As long as you aren't stressed or in pain, a beautiful day is probably most enhanced by a sativa. But i am stressed and in pain, so indica it is.
Couldnt have said it better, been in chronic pain for years now. and i can honestly say sativas do not help at all...i happened to find a great cut of bubba, and some other great indicas which eventually got me off of pain pills completely...Same with my stress levels, like many doctors are doing now, some quack just prescribed me xanex and called it a day...again, sativas do the opposite of what i want, i get a up coke like high, with a beating heart that wants to pop out my chest. But i refuse to knock Sativas, i can appreciated good pot no matter what it is, they're just not for me.But i am stressed and in pain, so indica it is.
i believe this thread is more about the general public, the more trendy smokers, not the growers or long time users.
guess i'm getting old then as i think mosta my girls are either s/i dominate or mostly/pure sativa i like head stash as i love to stay BUSY as idol hands are the devils workshop/playground. indicas are mostly for night time pain relief for me anyway.Hello,
And to the point:
Is the "general public" favoring more and more heavy Indicas over speedy Sativas?
I have a text book Sativa head stash that gets turned down in favor of retarding, couch locking Indica bud.
Only fellow old farts appreciate it!
WTF ?
