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.
