They say indica and sativa are both similar these days and all of the perceived differences are psychosomatic

I personally don't feel a consistent difference between sativa and indica, most strains are hybrid anyway. However I absolutely do feel a huge difference between individual strains. I personally only use the energizing ones - I hate the feeling of realizing I just wasted 2 hours staring at the wall or something like that. With a good energizing strain I can enjoy long walks, dancing, doing tedious stuff like shopping or cleaning.

Sativa makes me intrusively depressed while indica makes me feel like a normal functioning person, but the muscles feel a little more sluggish

Research shows the labels rarely make a difference:

We failed to find clear genetic support for commonly referenced Sativa, Indica and Hybrid types as described in online databases.

Also:

There are biochemically distinct strains of Cannabis, but the sativa/indica distinction as commonly applied in the lay literature is total nonsense and an exercise in futility.

For me, the top row meme is accurate

I remember once on sativa that I put together some Ikea furniture and that was kinda nice. However I much prefer to feel relaxed if I'm gonna bother getting high. Indica is my bag.

Another interesting thing that idk if others experience but I didn't ever really get the munchies on sativa. It gives me that buzzy energy where I wanna do something so I'm too preoccupied I guess

I never noticed a difference until oil

Sativa all the way. I want the 8 week mark of addictive smoking to be a flood of insomnia and researching whether politicians are demons...

Indica? That's just going to make me sleepy and unable to do much. Not much fun at all.

Honestly I dunno. From the grower/biology difference there's a difference in growth and cold climate resistances which is why almost everything is some indica hybrid.

From a smoker perspective it'd hard to say. I managed to score a pure sativa strain this month was super excited for it! The high ain't that much different tbh but maybe if I had a heavy indica strain I could actively compare minute differences. I believe the line between energized and slumped is more to do with overall bud quality and how much you intake + tolerance. A few too many hits turns me from energetic and relaxed to lethargic and spaced out. Terp profile and thca content has a big impact limoline really jives with me.
