Scientist says all cannabis basically the same?

i've found that some are tight and some are loose, if you've found them all the same, i suggest you need a larger set of tools to do measurements with

The fem seeds I get off mates are not S1's but from colloidal silver. Not sure of the ones ive gotten from the seed banks/breeders. To be honest I'm not really fussed. They have been similar to what they say they should be.
I haven't grown many multiple's of the same strain using fem seeds from seedbanks but so far ive found them to be fairly similar and consistent with only slight differences.

I for one am thankful for breeders, seedbanks and chucker's. especially thankful to mates on here who either send out free seeds or charge bugger all for them.
In the short time ive been on RIU ive received over 200 seeds for free and around 80 for cheap, cheap, cheap. And that's with me turning down some offers and doesn't include the freebies the advertisers do like the Vault (I just received 10 from them for free a few days ago)

The cannabis community is such a sharing, helpful group.

F1 is first generation bred from male and female plants, S1 is first generation from feminized pollen, used on that seed stock or another strain female

That article is filled with poor research and assumptions. Of course they are different. Even when you harvest can make a single plant different. We have a lot of work to do on research if science comes to this conclusion.

Keep in mind that this is a journalist's shitty interpretation of the current state of scientific research. Someone who is trained to evaluate scientific literature would never come away from this subject with the idea the "scientists say blah blah." Really, all that can be said here is that the scientific data, which is admittedly limited, doesn't correlate well with the anecdotal reports of users nor the sales pitches of budtenders. That isn't news, and it isn't something we didn't already know. Anecdotes and marketing never match up well with reality, no matter the subject. The surprising thing would be if cannabis effects were the one single subject in which people's reports and pitchmen rhetoric actually matched up with the science.

But does that mean there is no difference, or that one strain cannot reliably deliver a specific effect when another cannot? Of course not, and to conclude such is as unscientific as it gets. This journalist should be reassigned to areas other than science, or receive training in how to properly parse scientific research.

I dated one girl with an enormous vag, not sure what was going on in there, but it just opened up like a cave. I went with a spiral motion and tried to rub the sides...

I dated a girl like this for a few months. She was Dutch and was 6' tall. Swimmer's body with wide, child-bearing hips. For once I didn't have to be careful about how deep I went - tunnnnnel of love.

I messed that one up when some ginger whore caught me off-guard after 7 pints of "Winter Ale". Got me back to her place and before you knew it... Wow, she was WILD. Half way through I realized her gay roommate was watching. Went with it.

I agree with the basic premise in that the effects of weed are all subjective. Indica-dominant strains, for instance, just make me feel happy & high whereas sativa-dominant ones make me exhausted (particularly those with "stimulating" limonene terps). A lot of it has to do with set & setting, i.e. your mood & surroundings when you consume the strain. To illustrate just how strong the effect of setting can be: studies have shown that long-term opioid users who take the same exact dose in a new setting are more likely to overdose than when using in their usual setting. That's pretty powerful.

However, I also think dude is using the term "entourage effect" wrong in the article. It's been proven that taking THC alone provides a different and often terrifying experience compared to taking it with CBD. THC has psychedelic effects & CBD is an antipsychotic, ffs! They're essentially polar opposites. There's no question that the various cannabinoids work together to create the overall effect. But claiming that a certain strain will cause X effect in a certain person is pseudoscience because everyone reacts differently to substances, be they pharmaceutical or herbal. It's a guessing game of trial-and-error, much like a psychiatrist prescribing various psych meds to a depressed person to see what fits with their neurochemistry. Except the stakes are much higher with the antidepressant meds.

At the end of the day, weed is weed. It all shares the same basic features: THC, CBD & terpenes. And most of it is hybridized nowadays anyway. Dose, setting, expectations, mood, grow methods, harvest time & many other factors play a role in the end effects. But that doesn't mean there aren't subtle differences between strains. There are. You just can't predict how someone else will be affected by a given strain.
