I watched that video the other day and it made me think of a post from PollyPuff about the entourage effect:
https://littlebiggy.net/link/UoJF1H

I'm very much a scientific person and I know the science says there's no difference but I just can't reconcile that with my decades of smoking experience. How is it that 'sativa' strains often trigger my anxiety but 'indicas' almost always have the total opposite effect and can bring me out of an episode?!

I know there's a whole lot more going on with the influence of terpenes, other minor cannabinoids, etc. that we maybe don't fully understand yet so perhaps there's a scientific explanation for it but for now it remains a mystery to me.

Indeed a mystery that we can only solve by sampling all the weed.😍😍

Amen to that 🙏 💚

that's the thing, science often changes its mind once it considers more parameters and cannabis understanding is still in diapers.

Weed definitely has different effects from strain to strain but it does seem there is more to it than Indica/sativa

Headspace/terps/minor cannabinoids are my thoughts

Set and setting is definitely a thing. One day I can consume with others and laugh my tits off, the next day by myself and I just fall asleep. All using the same strain (aaaaghh!! bacteria... Chemovar? one debate at a time!)

When people say sativa gives them an "up" effect, what time of day is this? Morning? or is it the first toke of the day but at 11 at night?

When using indica and people get a "down" effect, again what time of day is this? Night time after a tiring day? or is it first toke of the morning after a heavy session the night before?

All I'm trying to do is provoke thinking about why and when we perceive these indica/sativa effects beyond just sativa = energy and indica = couchlock.

It's all very interesting.

Very well put indeed, not just set and setting either, overall headspace and mood, and probably one of the most undervalued metrics in this whole topic is diet + exercise, every single one of these factors will dictate how you're going to be affected by the consumption of THC

and of course let's not forget the grow, grower, what it was grown in, time of harvest during flower and what stage the trichomes were at in their development are all things that will have a huge impact on how that particular batch of that particular grow will effect you! the people who are searching for a particular strain for it's supposed effects are wasting their time and money, the strains name does not dictate it's effects or how much of a indica / sativa hybrid it is, all a strain name will tell you is where the genetics are from and roughly what terpenes you should be expecting, that is all

there's also no such thing as 50/50 sativa indica hybrids and 70/30 etc etc

Yeah always thought the ratio thing was a bit dodgy. Why not 23/77 or 86/14 ?
Also, when 50/50 (or any ratio really) why is it usually "will give you a burst of creative energy but will eventually lead to a relaxed state of mind and peaceful sleep, if you can keep the munchies away!"

Why that order? It's 50/50 so why not: "will send you immediately into a creative sleep where you will raid the fridge by sleepwalking. Careful though you will suddenly have a burst of energy and wake up doing pushups."

Or, to make further mockery: "careful this 80/20 sativa will glue you to the sofa if you smoke the last 20% of the joint"

Regardless of ratio most descriptions just describe the cannabis intoxication journey. It will give you a high (head, body, insert personal effect) leading to the end of the high (relaxation, sleep, insert personal effect).

-plonk-

Steps down from soapbox. I need a toot, exhausted so I'll go for a nice sativa. :)

Well a hybrid is a hybrid. If my dad is aborigine and my mum is a Klingon then I’m 50:50 and the world is my lobster right? So cross a sativa haze with a Hindu Kush and it will be a 50:50 hybrid of the two, it’s just what difference that makes in the effects and whether those effects are attributable to the plant type rather than other elements. I guess we are now siding with “other elements “, which is fine.

But this is evidence based on blind tests where the reported effects didn’t correlate to the strains. In my own lab I have 42 numbered jars- I can only know what strain they are by referring to my trusty spreadsheet 🤓. When I try them at random and try to guess from the effects whether they are indica or sativa I always get it right. 100%. Not even slightly difficult.

But then I have 30 different tequilas and I am pretty good at blind testing those too 🤠…..

But what happens if your Dad is 32% Indonesian and 68% Armenian and your mum is 38% Klingon and 62% Borg (? that's a Trek thing innit?) Then your not 50:50. It's meaningless!

Ok you can identify between your own stash - well done but can you hand on heart take a toke and say hmm, I'm getting 25% sativa effects and 75% indica effects or whatever?

Unless you mean you are 50:50 as in hermaphrodite? 😉

With all that's been said I am still very much influenced by either sativa/indica descriptions - what more is there to go on?

You are just being obtuse CB. Look, take an everyday strain like Purple Punch to keep it simple and let’s take a quick glance at the Family Tree: 🤓

Hardly rocket science now is it? 😶‍🌫️👍

Now don't get mad, I'm not being sarcastic or disingenious. This is a 100% genuine response after reading and re-reading your comment for the last 10 minutes: Sorry, I don't understand?

Polly humour mate….ooops, thought we were tuned in 🤷‍♂️😉

Thank fuck for that! My antenna isn't erect enough at the moment. I think it needs greasing and if I just give it a tug it may start working. Although last time I did that it poked me in the eye.

Phew! You had me thinking “Christ, if I can’t even get a smile out of CB then I’m cancelling my One Dog Stand Up Tour! “ 🥹

😸

didn't take long did it for people to start glazing over the science once again and stating "but, but i can feel a difference" lol, i'm experiencing such high levels of second hand embarrassment

i know it's difficult they've been perpetuating this bullshit for donkeys years and don't want to pull themsleves out of their ways but i've linked every article under the sun on this in the past even ones on blind testing that continually expose this pseudoscience but it doesn't sink in

if selective hearing is a thing then i'm pretty sure selective learning is a thing too, well the past few years has proven this more than ever

Wish I could keep some in jars but It never stay s in the jars for long ,abit like my vodka bottle ha ha u lot are good people

I have 3 children using this theory they should all be fairly similar as 50/50 me and Mrs rabb1t and therefore the same as each other


They aren't

Well genetically they certainly are. Unless there’s something Mrs.Rabb1t isn’t telling you..🤫

Yes but ones hyperactivity, ones like the opposite and ones bang in the middle

I'm genuinely not making this up

But technically they are all 50/50 yeah?

Interesting ‘cos it’s exactly the same argument- genetics vs effects yeah? We think that a plants genetics give us particular effects but the (scant) evidence suggests otherwise. Kids personality traits don’t mirror their genetics but their DNA doesn’t lie.

Every discovered language in human history uses nouns, verbs and adjectives. Isolated tribes that have never learned anything from anyone still form their language that way. Nobody knows why…

But we do at least know now thanks to science it's not indicas sedate and sativas don't

We know it's more complex

I'm a medical user it all works just need more of some than others

I like you on the soapbox

Fancy starting a political party with me?

Well I am a lying sexual deviant, two faced and with loose morals, no heart or backbone, serving only myself and people who pay me enough. So yeah, maybe I could be a politician. :)

Tonight I shall dine on brisket 😋

Aaaaaaaagggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!! That dang nabbit idiart rabbit. 😾

Well that's ok because the idea I have means you would be in politics a short time anyway

I want to create a political party with two policies only

To change how politicians are paid and limit their activities outside of government being one

But the main reason I want to do this is, to have a party that changes the rules

No more first past the post, proportional representation elections instead

Once changing these the government would immediately have a general election to allow the changes to be made

Now there's the small matter of the house of lords

Now we know blowing it up didn't work previously...

So am open to suggestions 🤔

There's lots of fed up people on this island, the issue I feel is the lack of representation of our interests

My thought process is that sativa and indica are individual species of the cannabis plant which would itself suggest some biological variations between the two, so I still think there's maybe something missing from the 'no difference between them' position.

I get that selective breeding over the years has blurred that line somewhat but going back far enough, pure indica plants were very different from sativa variants in terms of appearance and growth behaviour, so logic would dictate other biological differences too.

The reason we started cross-breeding them to create hybrids in the first place was to combine the different characteristics of each species, so why did we do that if they're all the same?

If we're being truly scientific then we have to recognise that just because we haven't yet identified those differences, or what they mean for us, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist.

Hi OldManEd, It's difficult to get that image of large plant, narrow leaved sativa and small plant, broad leaved indica out of our heads isn't it?
On one hand you say they are individual species but later you say they are variants of each other? Science says genetically they are the same. It's how those genes are expressed that makes some sort of difference in effects.

I wish I knew more about plant biology but I do know the same species of a particular plant can exhibit different traits depending on environment, growing conditions, etc. (its phenotype -ooooh, swallowed a dictionary have you!) I have some Tulips from the same seed packet at my front door in a container and they are all yellow. In the back garden in the ground they are all red.

I just wish we had pure sativa and pure indica seeds because I theorize if you put either seed in hot, equatorial zones they will exhibit sativa traits and place them in cooler, temperate zones they will exhibit indica traits.

It's all interesting.

There not saying there isn't a difference more that there isn't a couchlock indica cannabinoid and a hyper sativa cannaboid and that's it's the different ratios of terps/noids etc etc but there isn't a thing that either sativa or indicas have that other doesn't

Yeah, all fair points - maybe I should stop trying to make sense of it all and just enjoy it for what it is. 😊

Love this, Since we've established that there is no scientific difference between an indica and sativa, it's only fair to discuss why these strains might feel so different when ingested. The most likely hypothesis is the entourage theory, also called the entourage effect.

The research shows that genetically it is impossible to prove whether a cannabis plant is an Indica or Sativa. There is no difference in the genes. “What studies mainly shows is that you should not just rely on those labels, but that you should look at the specific terpene profile.

The cannabis industry needs to look more critically at its own disclosures. According to researchers at Canada’s Dalhousie University and the Wageningen University & Research, the Indica and Sativa labels on cannabis are often wrong and misleading. Patients and consumers would benefit from a more scientific approach. The researchers analysed hundreds of cannabis samples. The study shows that the genetic and chemical composition of the cannabis tested often does not correspond to the typical cannabis label Indica or Sativa.

The terms Indica and Sativa are often used to categorise cannabis. These different strains are generally believed to be associated with certain psychoactive effects. Often the effect of a Sativa strain is described as mentally stimulating and energising, while that of an Indica strain is described as relaxing and soothing. In addition, it is often suggested that the labels say something about the genetic background.

“For example, cannabis labelled as Sativa often contains higher concentrations of single terpenes with tea-like and fruity aromas, while Indica samples generally contain higher concentrations of terpenes with an earthy smell such as myrcene, guaiol, gamma-elemene and gamma-eudesmol.”

The distinction that some researchers found is not convincing: “It really is about these specific, individual terpenes that make the difference. The overall chemical profile, like the genetics, shows no apparent difference between the labels. We also found only a small number of regions in the cannabis genome that likely contribute to the earthy aroma associated with the Indica label

It’s a tough subject for sure 😂❤️

So the people (like this woman who often work for big corporations who are profiting from weed) who claim we have proven that indica/sativa doesn't mean anything haven't shown any evidence that isn't an article that doesn't cite sources

Show us meta analysis of multiple peer reviewed clinical studies that conclusively prove indica/sativa is bullshit.

You can't. You don't have anymore evidence than the bro science people saying indica/sativa is important.

Neither side can actually evidence their claims so I am not require to believe or accept either position until it is demonstrated to be true.

Now stop pretending this woman is some sort of genius, and admit she is just repeating what others have told her without referencing any studies at all.

Don't put words in my mouth, never said she was a genius

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/

The person being interviewed here

They are a genius 👍

Also please find sources at the bottom of the page

Enjoy 😊

I think sativa has just become a code word for, "not very strong" nowadays.

If you get enough THC in you, it's going to put you to sleep.

Agree.

That's why we stop listing indica/sativa in our listings. There is no way to determine which was it leans other than how you feel and we're taking one person's experience as fact.

It's absolutely ridiculous.
If anyone follows First Smoke of the Day, check out the episode with the guy that runs High Times. He addresses this amongst many other bro science things related to cannabis

Wow, she talks fast..I broke my pencil on the first question and by the time I’d sharpened it it was all over! 😵‍💫😂

Science > there's no difference between the two and we've been telling you this for years now but you wont listen and it's slowing down the progress of medical research


Stoners > but how else am i going to sound like i know what i'm talking about to my casual stoner friends on facebook without using meaningless trendy buzzwords :(

Sorry hesh, I haven't got temporal event availablity to reply I need to focus my synergy to generate a dynamic output into the locally manifested environment and haven't got time for buzzwords 😏😘

It's your own fault DR, you shouldn't have smoked sativa before 5pm, we spoke about this in the past especially only 1 month after the vernal equinox... are you crazy? that is WAY too dynamic for optimal cosmic environmental synergy!

XDD

Good point

Well made

😁😎

*Rabb1t brain now in standby

Don’t forget Ruderalis 😊

Everyone forgets ruderalis, even though without them we wouldn't have autos

I'm having the same issue. Placed two order with two different vendors. Funds cleared on coinbase, but nothing showing up on LB 4 hrs later. Transaxle was playing up a little before too.

Any ideas?

Posted on another comment but Transaxe having a wobble, everything will clear, there’s an announcement somewhere on the site

What is the status on Transaxe? If it says Payment Received you have to wait for the final confirmation. If it says your order has been paid then the status should change to paid on LB. If in doubt contact Transaxe Support. It's probably just a delay in confirmation. It took well over an hour for my order status to change this week and I also used Coinbase.

Yeah it’s still showing as unpaid(both transaxe and LB) I’ll get a message to Transaxe Support, cheers!

Had to do the same just now, two orders both showing unpaid...

Progress, after seven hours the first order shows as paid on transaxe but not buggy... Fingers crossed they'll filter through soon, anyone else had any luck?

this just happened to me. what to do? "Your order is awaiting payment " but confirmed.

I think Transaxe is having a wobble but all mine eventually went through and showed payment time that I made it at. I wouldn’t worry too much! Within 18 hours mine had all cleared

yeah mine did 6 hours later. its so worrying but I guess im learning not to panic. but i will anyway.

Snap… it’s done the same thing to me. Probs about 12.55

Couldn't order this morning transaxe was down maybe that had something to do with it

Yeah I had the same thing, ordered when it came back, now this. Seen other posts with the same issue so messaged transaxe support

Bloody hell i dunno if i've ever seen it so bad.
Think this site's gonna need Litecoin or similar.

It briefly hit 300 sat/vB the other day mate. We live in interesting times.

Any idea about the query? All of this selecting your own fees thing confused me before it all went crazy, let alone sat/vB Vs sat/B. Anything that reduces fees and gets us all weed more quickly has to be a good thing.

The OP's wallet has RBF (Replace By Fee) obviously.
if the OP's wallet is saying 170 sat/b, after the transaction, because of RBF, the effective fee will indeed be around 100 sat/b.
RBF takes a big chunk of the fees, cause it sends a small amount back to your own wallet.(Incase you have to increase fees to move a stuck transaction.)
you increase fees on the the small amount that was sent back to your wallet and that will push the transaction through, and in my experience all transactions stuck on your wallet also.
When i buy and need to send, if mempool is saying 100 sat, for me that means i have to send way more than 100, all because of RBF.

I was able to select a lower mining fee than the recommended one as I was being tight and hoped for the best, unfortunately that would not allow the transaction to be confirmed so I cancelled the order lb end and now I'm stuck I've messaged transaxe,refund borg. Hopefully I can get coin back. Never had to cancel before. I was hoping it just got returned that don't seem the case tho. Transaction still showing as pending on the blockchain. 🤞

Yeah, it isn't returned automatically, but it goes into escrow. Now, where do you stand from a refund perspective if it isn't confirmed at their end? They can't refund something not received, after all. I'd usually assure you that everything would be fine, and it would all sort itself out soon, but I didn't want to buy 0.011 BTC at £365ish yesterday, and it's now £415ish, and fees have jumped to over 200 sat/vB now too.

So it said received by transaxe but not confirmed

Yeah, that's the status of them getting the initial signal that that transaction is being sent to them. When that transaction has 1 of 4 confirmations it's marked as paid. Until that happens this is in limbo, so you can't be refunded, as they don't currently have your coin. Usually this wouldn't take long to resolve, but I've recently had referral payments from Transaxe fail due to the long timeframe from sending. It's the first time I've seen that status on a transaction in my wallet, and I have no idea what happens now. Good luck.

Finally confirmed after 6 days and now awaiting refund. Phew thought I'd lost that

Fuck my old boots! Just paid £16 fees for a £90 order on here!! Wtf is going on? Hadn’t bought anything for a month last time it was about half that which is still bad enough, and that’s from Bittylicious.
Absolute rip off.
Gonna have to consider seriously buying from here from now on as it’s ridiculous now.
Borgs need to sort something about this and quickly….

I bought some edibles that cost £22, £49.46 came out of my coinbase wallet I haven't a clue where to find the fees. Murray

It is bad, I bought my coin ready for xmas thinking I had enough to cover what I wanted, but sadly most of funds went to "fees", its gonna be a coal xmas :-(

Well, if you bought it more than 24 hours ago it's now worth nearly 10% more. Buy, buy, buy?

I freaked out as I'm old and needed something for xmas, was left with $20 which now $24 but good luck spending! fees are touching £15 hahah MERRY XMAS

Given and taken away, with interest. Yeah, I can't justify buying currently and I have a couple of vendors that have helpfully held stuff for me. Hope this calms down in the next couple of days though and we can all have a great Christmas.

man I hope so, my budget is almost NIL on a good day haha wanted to treat myself but that not gonna happen. Ah well gotta suck it up

Caught me well off guard topped up on Coinbase with no idea to see 16 dollar fee to send to exodus then again didn’t think so just added more on coin base only on exodus for it to be the same . Paid 30 plus dollars in fees for 70 dollar order.

I've just had to cancel as payment wasn't getting confirmed how do I now go about getting my money back to resend.

Getting tedious now. Expensive and tedious.

Contact transaxe or whatever with your order number and return wallet address. Got mine back today after having to cancel yesterday. Looks like today is the same unfortunately.

Not on exodus but, i did my usual routine of buying the coins I needed for what I wanted, went to pay and said I had not got enough money available... £15 transaction fee! Chucked another £20 in and the fee went up to £24!

I'm not a tech whizz but with all of these high fees, my usual £170 ounce is costing me about £220 all told ):

the network is congested right now so the ridiculous fee applies to all wallets. its the only way to have your transaction process in a reasonable timefame.

I made a order just now and it cost $9 in fees using trust wallet. It usually cost around $1-$2 so this price increase is staggering.
Exodus wallet is good but the fees are astronomical so I stopped using them a long time ago

Just had to pay £30 to get my orders through in the early hours (probably not the best time due to the US being awake tbh). But the price of bitcoin has been going up, so more people are investing again and network is congested. No way around it as far as I can see. Hopefully it will calm down again by the weekend,

As of 1055, 7/12 - $72 fees to send $40! Wtf?!

Cheers everyone I’ve just checked they’ve gone down to 6 buck so I’m going to put my order in now ha

"transaxe.com is currently unavailable - please try again later"

Wtf is going on lately?

I’ve not used LB for quite a while but just decided to buy a few vapes. Network fees on Coinbase are really high, sure it only used to be pennies

Transaxe was not working for me at all this morning but society is run on something different and seems to be processing payments just fine, head over there and complete your order if your having trouble getting on there, there are topics that can help you

It’s still down now 7/12 how do I get on society to pay for my order? Thanks.

You need a tor browser first if you weren't aware.

http://societytxpukcvelwgkcfb76yni5a7n5iiueaxcwwgr73koycicrxqad.onion/

Thank you for that appreciated.

same issues with the society onion/cryptonic. payment amount shows as received but not moving from "your payment is awaiting confirmation" even though the blockchain shows confirmations. ugh.

still down? can't catch a break

I've had $147 pending for 4 days now. Not sure what to do.

Mine just gone through this morning, took 24 hours. Mine was $165. 7/12/23. It’s becoming increasingly more likely that this is the end. For me anyway. It’s not worth the stress. It’s becoming More volatile each time I purchase. If it wasn’t for the quality LSD on sale I wouldn’t bother at all. Hope all your purchases go through peeps. Stressful situation

Me too buddy I've the same issue

Same for me mate, still showing as unpaid 🤷🏻‍♂️

😂

You might as well be shopping in Canada for all its worth as it will not get through this month unless you are using a different courier as RM is out of service for the rest of December at least.

Current status from item sent yesterday using Falcon 1 (inside 24hrs) we are breaking through the picket fence & sound barrier with this one.

Collected
Your parcel has been collected from your selected drop off location.
In Transit
Your parcel is on its way!
At Delivery Depot
Your parcel has been received at the depot.
Out for Delivery
Your parcel has been scheduled for delivery to its destination.

Doesn't seem to affect anything leaving the UK. For once I might be having a better delivery time than uk hahaha

Just checked yesterday's Falcon 1 orders and they are all at the customer's local depot at time of writing this 07.31 am on Saturday which means they will be getting sorted into there delivery vans today!!

Who needs Saturday specials when the Falcon is in town!!

Online they only state some dates. 9, 11, 14 and 15 December. Has this changed?

latest from RM website : CWU members are taking national strike action on 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24 December 2022.

It's the knock-on effects as things are and will either go missing or take weeks to arrive in some instances not all but some, so it will become too much of a ball ache it already is a massive ball ache now and to continue to travel into a force 9 storm is just stupid.

That's why we have options for this very event we are happy with what we see going forward with Falcon deliveries it's the only way to keep GT's ship on course!

Yes I think the unions are playing games as they have offered a 9% increase, but the unions want it in line with inflation which means 11%, but next year inflation will be coming back down so for the sake of having our posties back they are holding out for 11% seems a bit wrong in my eyes especially as inflation will drop back down, what makes it worse is seeing some of these our industry's that were given furlough unlike the postie who marched through are now also striking even though they were sat on there back sides getting there 80% pay for months at a time.

More manipulation by the few on the masses i think.

Unfortunately i am not in the UK so not sure it would work. Fedex is already struggling and they are pros.

Does that work for Ireland GT?

Just checked Slimjim81 and yes it does, just allow a few more days and also bear in mind customs so it is not ever going to be 100%.

Just opened up a Private courier shipping option European fully tracked which is even cheaper than RM Europe tracked!

Never 100% with Irish customs thanks GT

Yes they are on point.

Fair play with the options you give 👍

Thanks JC !

Deserved - you have stayed the course and battled through. I am partial to an opinionated person also ! Even tho I don’t always agree I like your continued input. Going above and beyond with delivery that benefits both you and the customer. So yeah not bad !

Yes it's been a serious battle JC but what has kept me positive is the great customers on here.

I admit at times I have not acted in algo safe way and perhaps upset some folk along the way but I needed to impact back in 21 and was learning about the algo.

I have had to be provocative but that was to try to catch the Purple bandit that plagues my existence on here and it has worked even though it has been quite a blunt approach at times it has been effective in helping to expose this vermin.

At times its been overly stressful but to make a diamond you need extreme pressure.

It"s great thar some of the high profile biggaz are highlighting the stress towards vendors due to RM malfunctions, but it is our jobs tp deal with customer order enquires and if that becomes top stressful then the vendor is no good not the cusomer it,s part of our job. What should not be part of our job is been attacked by a rival repetably. And that is not been talked about in much scope by the high profile biggaz which leads me to think that some off them.are on the take. As it is common knowledge who the main culprit is it's not rocket science. So if biggaz were geniuely concerend about vendors welfare u would think that this would be something worth a serious mention.

Looking forward to 23 to finally slay the beast of Biggy aka the Purple Bandit lol

❤️❤️❤️ For everything you do GT

Thanks Ninja x

I also must admit I'm really impressed with the way you bounced back from the horrible situation that happened to you a while back. Shows great dedication! Looking forward to tasting your strawberries!

Glad u are back in the store Bigorre it's been a while!
