I think some people just prefer the intense immediate narcotic effect of a good indica strain and not the psychedelic more energetic effects of a sativa strain. Which I should start referring to as NLD Indica. Different people have different physiology which will make different people react differently. Some really enjoy the effects while others it doesn't tickle their fancy.
Different strokes for different folks.
I like it all. Some at different times than others. Given a choice though I would always choose a sativa/NLD if I had to make a choice.
