I hear this repeated a lot in different variations, some people say the exact opposite, but it's untrue. There's no real definition of what a '100% sativa' or '100% indica' even is. All we have to go by are characteristic leaf patterns between indica/sativa. In short, the whole 'indica body buzz' thing is unfounded. In fact, I remember hearing the EXACT opposite of what you heard a few years ago. I was told that sati…

This is a good first-order approximation, but there are other cannabinoids which influence the effects: CBN, THCV, and others [0]. Additionally, based on first-hand anecdata, I think there is good reason to believe that the terpene profile can have a big effect on the experience, as well as the flavor [1]. But, yeah, if THC causes anxiety for you, try to never go above a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. For comparison, most sativa…

Ha, your parenthetical definitely anticipated me. If I could RELIABLY score a solid 8 hours every single night, I would call $600/mo steep — but worth it.

Also says something about the general cross section of HN users that $600/mo is "steep but worth it". There a lot of people for whom $600/mo is wildly unaffordable for anything, even essential medical care. (FWIW, I'm with you, if I could wake up well rested every morning, I'd drop $1K/mo or more without a second thought)

I think they have this the wrong way round. Indica is known for its relaxation effects. Couch lock isn't due to anxiety but relaxed passivity, and sativa strains tend to promote overthinking and paranoia in those (inc. myself) prone to it.

No. It depends on the person entirely and if you start digging you will find about equal distribution of people who are calmed by a sativa and people who are calmed by an indica. I personally suspect that people who feel calm from a sativa are a little ADHD and it seems to make them think better and more calmly and indicas make them much more anxious because it exacerbates and existing condition.

I can tell you it'll make your hair fall out. And maybe make you 20% less anxious/more focused, but honestly it's hard to say... actually, in retrospect I never experienced acute anxiety when I was experimenting with it. Certainly worth a shot.

Does the hair come back after you stop using it? I already have moderate male pattern baldness :) 20% seems ok to me, buspirone is not that great either, but I never experienced panic attacks while on it(actually I only experienced panic attacks while on stimulants), and if I had another option like SELANK/SEMAX with the BDNF boosting bonus, that would be great. I'll give them a shot.
