/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Hey FlyingSquid! So, like, there are different types of mj aromas, which are solely dependent on the terpenes present in the plant. That's a documented thing. There's a over a hundred terpene types that can result in citrus, diesel, skunky, or woodsy smells, for example. However, as it's been pointed out already, plants have been cross-bred so much over the years that individually named strains don't always have their "known" unique characteristics these days. And that includes smell/aroma.
So yeah, it doesn't really matter anymore. I wouldn't put much stock in how flower smells, because it's largely inconsequential save for personal preference. I prefer citrus-y flower cuz it smells better to me. There's one strain I used to buy regularly from my dealer that had a really strong but pleasant grapefruit smell (and taste, just a little), it was awesome.
Also, wrt indica vs sativa... there's never been any scientific data that can back the claim that they provide different kinds of high, like energizing versus relaxing. It's just not true. Like the meme says, weed is weed.
Yeah, 'weed is weed' always applied to me too. Very occasionally I'd get a strain that I felt hit harder than others, but meh. I just get what's cheapest now. That works fine.
The smell can reveal a lot about how it's cured, which definitely affects many things including potency.
