THC and CBD are mind altering substances. Their concentration and ratio are what determine effects. We don't measure alcohol strength by the grains used to make it; we measure it by alcohol content. You can buy indica with 30% THC and 0% CBD and indica with 0% THC and 30% CBD and they're going to have way different effects in the same way you can buy grain alcohol at 2% and 40%.

That being said, there isn't a lot of studies on what ratios give what affects and in what dosages. Because of that, it isn't bad to see how people rate a particular product, assuming the product always has the same amounts of THC and CBD.

I've become more receptive to this take. Ultimately the differences between sativa and indica are physical and more related to growth and structure. Having dense flowers doesn't effect the contents of it.

This is not a take. This is fact!
