I think this is pretty well established, both scientifically and experientially.
We're talking about different ratios of psychoactive agents, so it's only natural to assume that if the action is different, the result will be different.

- oldmanjay 11y agoBoth pages appeal to "well-known" effects, and the one linked study used as a citation for these effects says: >There are numerous anecdotal reports claiming that marijuana with relatively higher ratios of THC:CBD is less likely to induce anxiety in the user than marijuana with low THC:CBD ratios; but, taken together, the results published thus far are inconclusive. [0] Which is not exactly confidence inspiring as being "pretty well established" scientifically. Granted, I'm not digging through the literature here, just following your links, but so far, the case has not been made.

- cb18 11y agoWhat kind of study do you want? They are different compounds. Mix up a blend of 25% cayenne to 75% cinnamon, then 75% cayenne to 25% cinnamon. Do you think that conscious experiences that results from these blends interacting with your tongue are going to be qualitatively different? Do you want somebody to demonstrate from neural imaging or something, that users of different strains are in fact experiencing different effects on their conscious perception? For that you're probably going to need to make some significant progress in solving the hard problem of consciousness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness Meanwhile, those of us with an understanding of cause and effect can rest assured that different actions do in fact produce different results. I'm not speaking to a study of any particular effect(anxiety, etc.) just going back to your original comment about the 'budtender induced placebo' and explaining that they aren't 'blowing smoke,' there are actual differences in the constituent molecules of the products.
