But it's good to know what strain is what, and what effects it will have. Just as different alcohols are brewed in different fashions to provide different tastes, the same is done with pot. The way it is grown, when it was harvested, how it is cured. It all makes a difference in the final product.
Aren't the differences in strains mostly anecdotal? I seem to recall the science of the effects of sativa vs. indica being pretty inconclusive. In addition to that, can you really tell the difference if you're already baked? I know my ability to discern between a saison and a kettle sour would be severely limited after I'd had six of them. I also know that I've tried different strains of both indica, sativa, hybrids, etc., and despite what the nice man at the weed store said, most all of them have given me anxiety and caused me to have trouble sleeping.
