Been a sativa guy for a while now too, just easier to stay focused at work in the morning after a mandatory joint on the ride in. I don’t dislike indicas, but have a hard time justifying smoking something that’s going to knock me out ten minutes after my first hit, unless I need the help getting to sleep. Also not trying to paint either type with a broad brush stroke, a good hybrid or non couch lock variety is always better than nothing.
yea lol, to be fair, im def a sativa leaning guy with most things. I didn't used to be, i used to always prefer indica, and im not even sure when the transition happened, i cant really put my finger on it. I just noticed one day that my tastes had changed, and im a sativa guy now.
As a grower though, that's actually a little annoying hahahahaha. Some sativa's are so damn fussy and particular, but they are almost always worth getting to know enough to nail imho. The only real way to obtain those great sativa's reliably is to grow them yourself, and get to know them enough to nail. Buying "sativas" at the pot shops are so hit and miss ime. They want to sell you those super high test anxiety riddled sativas, not those 18-24% legends that put a shit eating grin on your face and actually treat anxiety.
A weird thing happened with sativas about 15-20 years ago. It's hard to explain, but it's 100% the reason im so keen on preserving certain sativa lineages as they are and only letting them reproduce with other sativas of a similar flame, and only in F1's, no inbreeding or backcrossing. Ill say it had something to do with unscrupulous breeders making crosses based on numbers on paper, rather then qualities the plant possesses in growth and the high. Id really like to keep those legendary 90s sativa lineages alive, the modern sativas give them an undeserved reputation.
Anyone who's had the lucky chance to smoke something like the original Jack Herer (i havent, but ive smoked crosses with it) , or 91-01 chem dawg (i have) or a modern sativa crossed with a sativa land race lineage knows exactly what im talking about.
Hell yeah, and same here. If anyone can find a haze that tastes/smells like the early 2000's/late 90's hit me up. Definitely worth going through and re-working some strains that commercial growers bred with harvest weight, rather than flavor profile and effects, in mind.
A little mix I have been really loving lately is a joint with half Blue Dream half Strawberry Krux OG. The Strawberry Krux has a really good level of pain relief, but not a comatose type.. Just a fuzz your achy joints, euphoric kinda high. The Blue Dream is a long time favorite for the flavor and uplifting effects. They really compound each other rather than canceling out.
