> I'll never stop being fascinated by how radically different the experiences of cannabis users are Nothing to be fascinated about. The experience is different primarily from the type of strain they have inhaled or ingested. Sativa only strain - High, euphoria, very social Indica only strain - Sleepy, lethargic, somewhat anti-social Sativa dominant Sativa-Indica hybrid - Not so high, still little euphoric, smooth come down after few hours. Indica dominant Indica-Sativa hybrid - Not so sleepy / lethargic, little euphoric... And then there's the CBD dominant ones which don't get you high, and supposedly cure you of various illnesses. Not FDA approved.

Yeah, different strains is the most common explanation i've heard. But in my own self experimentation I notice relatively little difference between Sativa and Indica.

I experimented extensively with sativas, indicas, and all sorts of hybrids. I never ever got a euphoria. Indicas (and sativas in sufficient quantity) would give me couch lock, and clouded my mind to where I couldn't code. It never felt good, even tho I really wanted it to. I wanted to replace opioids with it. Sadly I just don't think my body works with it. Maybe that's why I come from a family of alcoholics rather than potheads :shrug:

No offense intended, but I'd like to mirror a lot of other folks' responses here: everyone's body is different. I've tried a lot of different kinds of pot (it's all legal in the PNW) and I've never experienced the good feelings other folks I know do. It's just not pleasant for me, and it's a little grating to have to repeat this to my pot advocate friends; great that you get something out of it, but the reaction to my experiences that I just haven't tried the right kind is frustrating.
