Thanks for the cooment. Sounds like you like a good balance in cannabinoids, are you referring to 1:1 stains e.g. 5% thc 5% cbd? any strain with a better balance of cannabinoids is going to feel more "functional" and maybe less intense than some of those all THC and trace amounts of other cannabinoids. CBD has been shown to be an antipsychotic which explains why the higher CBD strains affect people differently.
Terpenes do indeed have some psychoactive effects, although this is more on the mild side e.g. linalool aids sleep, limonene is antiseptic I believe. What's amazing is that every single strain is the result of a set of cannabinoids and terpene profiles which makes them all different, and I love exploring them all!
Anyway, great stuff - I love the world of cannabis and good to hear you're still so passionate about it after 30 years :)
I believe the cut of Canna-Tsu I have is 14% CBD and around 9% THC. There are many strains which have very high CBD and are still inebriating, there are also strains with equal THC:CBD which are very inebriating.
It really comes down to the terpene profile, for the stone/high. The same 14% THC:CBD levels in a sativa and indica have wildly different effects, from the types of terpenes available. Take away the terpenes and you're unable to tell if the extract came from an indica or sativa, it will have a 'flat.' effect.
