He bought from random dispensaries. Even in different states. The AK-47, the purple kush, none of them had any similarities when bought at a different place under the same name. Even when it was bought in the same town.
The study also looked into the whole indica vs sativa thing. The indica is known to be a more chill high. The Sativa is known to give you energy. Blind study. 10 people sitting around getting baked. Zero consistency between the effects of the sativa or the indica. It's all random. Weed is weed. According to this guy anyway. What do you guys think? I smoke maybe 4-5 times a year. My dad is a daily smoker. I told him about this study, and he just got pissed off.

I totally agree with this.
Rarely do i notice a difference between a Sativa and an Indica.
And yes, i couldn't give a single shit about the names. It's so inconsistent and to my understanding, weed is so homogenized these days due to all the crossbreeding of strains that there's hardly any distinction anymore. At least with the pre-packaged stuff you find at dispensaries.
Some of the higher grade top shelf stuff looks distinctly different, but it all gets me high just the same....the mid tier shit though is all the same, i dont care what it's called.
And yeah, there's enough weed aficionados that will argue about it till death (paging Katipan). But as an avid smoker for the past 20 years, i find most weed is essentially the same, regardless of brand or strain. You have to really pony up for top shelf weed if you want something that's maybe a little different. But i am GOOOOOD off those $50+ 1/8's. I'll smoke that shit up in 2 days. That's way too much $$$.
When i do pick out flower, the only distinction i try to make is to keep it in the Tangie family. Tangie type buds do have a distinct citrus flavor which i enjoy.
Beyond that, idgaf. Give me the shit that looks the prettiest or has the girliest name.
I mostly just smoke infused pre-rollls anyway. Nothing like a Caviar Gold. NOTHING like a Cavi.
