How accurate are cannabis strains “effects” as listed on sites like Leafly? (kbin.social)

Kinda curious because I want to target certain effects like energy and focus and avoid anything that would couch-lock me.

Not accurate whatsoever. It’s not at all based in science, and when cannabis is actually tested, they’re cherry picking samples.

Edit: source!

Lots of good info in that source. TL;DR -

The observed data does not support the classification between indica and sativa as it is commonly presented in current cannabis culture.
