Would give incentive to try some of the stronger strains out there. The only thing I would add is that sometimes the stronger strains are imbalanced massively towards THC. Those arent that fun for me as I am basically just in a trance and one trance is often much like any other trance. I do like being in a trance, but nuances can be a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way, That's why I like the 10 to 15% range, a nice head and body stone, nothing overwhelming, couchlocking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I guess everyone's different but I really don't see the THC percentage as the main factor of strength. Pretty much the hardest hitting strain for me is Exodus Cheese, but it tests at 16% THC, in comparison Forbidden Fruits it supposedly 23-26% and starts wearing off as soon as I put the joint out. The Amnesia CBD I grew is a 1:1 strain about 7% THC 7% CBD, but that still hit pretty hard and lasted way longer than the fruits did. There's well over 100 different cannabinoids and a lot of them have psychoactive potential, on top of that we now know that terpenes, esters and flavinoids all play a part in how a strain gets you high. So in actuality the THC% really isn't the be all and end all of a strains potency. For what it's worth cream caramel absolutely sits me on my arse.

MidgeSmith Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) That's all true @MindSoup but there seems to be a certain tinitus creating and face against the glass feeling that I get as a prime component of high THC strains, regardless of the rest of the high. Maybe I have imagined myself into it, maybe it is real and I am sensitive too it, it is impossible to break down. Exodus cheese is beautifully catastrophic for me too, so does Cheddar which I just grew and is from the same genetics / parent, but it doesnt make my tinitus loud or my face feel like it is pressed against the glass. It makes my eyelids heavy like nothing else and puts me on a tunnel-visioned-train to oblivion, but not in the high THC way. In other words, its not about the general strength of effect to me, but literally the THC strength. As I say, it may be illusory, it may just be me, but I feel there is a characteristic of very THC top-heavy strains.

MindSoup Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Well I guess a lot of it comes down to our individual physiology (or whatever the right word is), or just a matter of perception. Maybe it's the nuances/complexity that I perceive as strength. I can't say I really relate to the tinitus or the face against glass feeling but I would agree that a lot of high THC strains have a common characteristic. For the most part for me that means a boring (albeit TBF powerful) mongy sort of feeling that doesn't really seem to go anywhere and quickly fades into the background. Whereas that Amnesia CBD for instance, it had a lot going on, the flavour was complex and the smoke was thick and creamy, the high was full bodied and took you on a journey etc, but it didn't completely incapacitate me. So I think what I'm getting at, is maybe our experiences as a whole are actually quite similar, but our perception of them is where things start to differ. Proper stoner rambling and pretty far off topic I know, but I'm enjoying this conversation, it's broadening my understanding.

Yes, I have a few types of tinnitus that have a party in my ears at different times. The high frequency often comes after gigs or high THC levels... What's your diagnosis B-real?

Guest Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I havnt gotten one yet took over 18 months to get a proper diagnosis for other things My docs would rather say physical issues are manifestations of the mind and avoid giving help . I get what I described tho my nan and grandad got it . I spent my teens next to big sound rigs dnb raving then on site with lack of ppe disc cutting or near plant. Edited February 14, 2023 by B-real I was once told that the long ringing is the ear drum scaring and that the ear never hears that frequency again dunno how true that is.
