Sativa and Indica mean nothing anymore.

Everything is massively hybridized, there are no meaningful distinctions.

What there are distinctions between is THC, and CBD.

THC is the mild hallucinogenic stuff, that makes you giggly or goofy or paranoid or connect dots you don't normally connect.

CBD is the stuff that makes you feel kinda warm and fuzzy, acts as a mild to moderate pain reliever, calms you down.

Perhaps at one point in time, Indicas were much more CBD than THC, and Sativas were much more THC than CBD... but they're all massively hybridized now, not to mention significantly more potent/concentrated than back when the Hippies were toking up at Woodstock.

If your shit doesn't have labels, approved by some kind of state backed testing board or regulatory agency, that actually indicate the concentrations of shit that actually matters, your bud tenders have no clue what it is.

Even if it does have a label, it could still be wrong.... I mean, its not like a bunch of budtenders or anyone else involved in the supply chain for weed would ever make a mistake and then genuinely forget they did that...

From what I can tell from my formal biology degree, and experience closet tent growing, the only difference is how long you let it mature before harvest.
