The only difference between sativa and indica is plant size and leaf size. As far as effects go, strains have been cross-bred so much over the years that similar effects can be felt in both classes.
The real way to figure out effects is the terpene profile. Terpenes are molecules that give off taste and smell. They are found in any kind of plant/fruit/vegetable that exists. There are many different terpenes in cannabis and depending on the terpenes in your bud, the effect will vary accordingly. With legalized weed it's become way easier to effectively record and analyze terpene profiles. Smell and taste definitely play a part because like wine or cheese, you can notice different notes of other foods because they share similar terpene makeups as the cannabis.
