If it says it has so many mg of THC, that is more than like true, but...
There is a lot more going on than just THC or the three of four things they list on the labels.
It has gotten better, but even if you buy the exact same "strain" six months later the product isn't identical.
It isn't like alcohol where there is only one active ingredient. There are a lot of different cannabinoids (like hundreds and hundreds) and shit going on (and no I don't claim to be an expert on it).
And I don't think they are able to harvest seeds and grow the exact same product over again. It might be "close", and I believe it is better than it was five or ten years ago, but it isn't the exact same plant every single time or something is different. Or that's my experience and understanding. Those that actually grow no doubt know more about it.
As you might tell from this thread, some people don't seem to notice much difference.
I do.
I used to be a relatively heavy smoker in my twenties, quit completely by my forties, and I'm now a light recreational smoker. Basically, smoking works way better for me than alcohol because I started having migraines in my mid-40's and alcohol was, unfortunately, a very reliable trigger.
I know some people smoke to treat migraines, but I don't really find it provides much relief. Sumatriptan works a lot better.
But the effect I get from smoking varies. I mean if I buy an half an ounce, I get the same effect from that entire batch, but if I try to buy the same product, or something similar if they are out of whatever I bought before, it can vary. The good news is being a light recreational smoker, my tolerance is low and if I find something I like, it lasts quit a fair while.
I only go with the Sativa. Some products leave me feeling paranoid. Other batches are fantastic. I don't understand it. But it isn't like sometimes when I smoke, I get paranoid and sometimes I don't. It's every time I smoke that product. I'm sure I could pass a blind smoke test.
If I get one that makes me paranoid, I just give it away to a buddy.
And beyond the paranoia, how upbeat/energetic it leaves me feeling again varies from one batch to the next even when sticking with supposedly similar type of Sativa strains.
Several posters have mentioned the Sour Diesel and that is one I have at the moment that is working very well.
