If you weren't bouldering or skiing powder during the test the results are invalid.

So if someone who doesn't normally get drunk gets drunk and then says they didn't like it, are you all going to tell him the problem was what he was drinking?
Seems like this "sativa does this, indica does that" has as much logic as "tequila makes me mad, rum makes me happy, etc." that certain drinkers say.

Sure as hell, levothyroxine does this, methimazole does that, but they're both the same because they are thyroid medications and the first letters are contiguous in the alphabet.

Virtually everyone I know takes drugs of some kind, I'm on life support until my morning coffee and I sure do enjoy a couple of glasses of wine in the evening. Never smoked cigs and other drugs, tried and mostly appreciated, are pretty much in my past.
The one drug I'm really hooked on is that morning cup, make that two, of java.
Edit: sometimes three....yeah, the wine too.

One documentary on Cannabis claimed that the active ingredients (which like most or all drugs just stimulate compounds and processes already occurring naturally) played a role in cleaning short term memories from the brain. Can't let the brain get too clogged up.
Makes sense
Hey what were we talking about?

"Hey, man, try some of this. It's absolutely dynamite."
"Oh yeah?"
[Loud noise echoes/birds chirp]
Obviously doing it wrong, according to A Child's Garden of Grass.
Many people have smoked marijuana.
Many people have seen marijuana.
But very few people have ever heard marijuana.

Re:Vaporizers.
I have a Pax 2, use sungrown flower grown in a friend's organic garden (this is legal in Oregon). I'm a VERY moderate user. I probably only hit it once or twice a month, and at a low dose. It takes me usually a year to go through a quarter ounce. I'm more at danger of throwing out weed than anything else since I use so little.

^^^Didja have the munchies, "john."
What, exactly, brought on your relapse? I know it can be triggered by lots of things, STUPID TACO BELL ADS being the ones toughest to ignore.
I started out on enchiritos, myself. Then I progressed (declined, rather) to harder things to digest. I hit bottom, eventually, and found a sponsor.
Thanks for sharing.

Seems like you don't know WTF you're talking about.
There are 483 known compounds in mj, including 66 cannibinoids, most of which have had little to no study, and clearly from millions upon millions of users' experiences the varying amounts of these and their interactions have differing, consistent/repeatable characteristics of effects. Conversely, we know what alcohol is, how it works, etc.
Maybe pipe the f*#k down if you don't have any relevant input.
Yeah I know weedheads like talking about it as if it's fine wine. (I suppose that's not much of a criticism--a lot of wineheads play the same game of using their supposed sophisticated taste to justify getting into an alcoholic haze every night.)
But not all researchers and users agree that this indica / sativa business has a lot of merit.
https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/indica-vs-sativa-myth-or-fact
The comment to the article summarizes that point of view--maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but this guy seems to:
Ive been smoking daily, several times, for over ten years. I get my weed from a Vancouver BC dispensary. And for myself, I can't differentiate between a sativa or indica high. They both give me the "indica" effects. Also, like mentioned, every batch varies so greatly. Like, I've had strong, wonderful Jack Herer, as well as shitty, weak Jack Herer. The purple kush (or any strain for that matter) looks fairly different every batch (at the dispensary).
The effects are the same for me, but the only difference between strains I find are strength of those effects, and taste. Assuming I won't be smoking any more homegrown outdoor like back in my teen years, I don't care too much from one strain to the next. Right now I have some amazing sativa Blue Dream, and some super potent indica Purple Diamond. After 2 or 3 bong rips, it's the same feeling with either one. I'll try only smoking indicas for a while and switch, to see if the drastic change will highlight the difference, but nah. I'll smoke sativa before bed, indica in the morning... Makes no difference. By the time I had the luxury of choosing between strains though, my tolerance was already sky high. I imagine the difference is more notable for new smokers.
So I'm not saying people are lying to themselves. The perceived difference a lot to do with tolerance, and how the person is affected by weed. But I'm sure placebo makes the difference appear more stark than it actually is for many, many users.
It's why strain reviews don't do much for me... Like a guy will review 30 different strains and have so many specific points about each one, but are there really that many differences? Or is he just choosing random descriptors to describe the same feeling. It's like they're just describing being stoned in 30 different ways. "This one has a nice smell, with a very cerebral high... So does this one. This one too!"
Regardless, how about just acknowledging that the OP doesn't seem to be interested in getting f*#ked up on weed rather than trying to convince him he needs to try to get f*#ked up on slightly different weed?

They call it 'dope' for a reason. I'd prefer a good black coffee or a good cold beer.

Alcohol...
They call it 'POISON'...
for a reason...
I'd prefer a "Hit" and a handful of M&M's...

If you are incapable of understanding the concept that "the dose makes the poison," then I suppose your thinking is sound.

You don't get drunk the same way at 55 that you did at 18 either. "All things are a changing, Sage Heraclitus said, but a tawdry cheapness shall outlast our days".
