There is no scientific evidence backing up any claims about the effects of indica vs sativa, and no way to know which strain you're actually getting, even from dispensaries. They tend to be labeled according to the subjective experience of the person deciding how to label them. It's as meaningless as any other marketing label.

There's no federal protection, and state protections vary. Some states explicitly prohibit firing employees for off-duty medical marijuana use, but not all states with medical marijuana regulations have formal employee use regulations, and I don't think any have protections for recreational use. Additionally, even where medical use protections exist, they don't cover you being intoxicated on the job. There will be court cases that clarify all of this; meanwhile there's no definitive answer.

I'm looking forward to the day when we can choose cannabis based on the various terpenes it contains, and not just on simplistic THC/CBD levels or indica/sativa distinctions.

Even if it's the same strain cloned from the previous crop it can be different in THC/CBD content depending on growing conditions and a number of things. Even the harvest date, the drying and the curing process will affect the final product.
- caymanjim 5y agoI agree that there are different chemical constituents in different strains, that seem to--at least anecdotally--cause different subjective effects. I specifically take exception to the indica-vs-sativa claims, which appear to be complete nonsense, and aren't backed up by any science.
- grawprog 5y agoI was agreeing with you. I was just pointing out further, even exactly the same plant can have different chemical constituents based on a variety of things without even taking variations between different strains into account.
