Aren't the ingredients for Stout and Pilsner different, and also prepared in different ways? Like one has roasted something or other and one doesn't? That is going to result in wildly different characteristics because you're actually combining ingredients for an end result.
We've also been brewing beer for thousands of years and have pretty set-in-stone classification system for what beer is in what category for very specific reasons.


But with Marijuana you're what, changing the growth medium from dirt to hydroponic sponge, adding extra nitrates, or [proprietary] brand of fertilizer, but ending up with a plant that is 99.999999999% genetically identical to one you pulled out of a ditch. And relying on unnamed scientist man to tell you what percentage of terpenes are in it, how much THC:CBD, etc. Of course you want to believe your supplier is honest and legitimate but if there is a quick profit to be had, why would they be? That classification system isn't really there yet, it'll be a wild west of misinformation while everybody scrambles to make the most profit the fastest with XXxXTremeBake TETRATriChrome technology!!!.

Well yeah they're brewed differently, but your original point was saying a beer tastes crisper or smoother is bullshit, when by your own admission right there you've got 2 different kinds of beers with 2 very different taste profiles. Also the "set in stone classification system" is pretty recent in terms of beer, and the fact that you get beers like "X-style ale" vs just X, or things like india pale lagers, shows how loose those systems are. Anyway, that whole conversation detracts from the simple fact that yes, different beers taste very different from each other.

Also, even my wife who hates IPAs with a passion will admit that 2 IPAs brewed in the exact same style and method, only with 2 different kinds of hops, taste very different. If one strain of hops can taste overwhelmingly of grapefruit and another of pine needles, I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that different strains of weed will taste different, too (especially since the 2 plants are in the same family :eng101:)

On the weed side, people have been loving with the grow chemistry of non-weed plants for hundreds of years, and sure a lot of it is bullshit, but things like adding nitrates or whatever have been demonstrated to increase the resulting plant quality.

are you talking about the taste of smoking them or the taste of like chewing a bit or making an extract or what?

i was referring to wine in my post above, with weed im not particularly concerned with the taste of it personally, but i do think ive noticed the differences the most when vaping live resin extracts. smoking it is definitely harder to notice the differences

Vaping mostly, I switched to smoking near the end since I got tired of re-packing the Pax. I was mainly trying to figure out which strains tasted the best for vaping, but I was disappointed in the lack of variation in both flavor and high for a large grouping of strains.

I’m not a wine person so I don’t know much about wine snobbery, but I see it with weed and I’m just as guilty of trying to find differences that are probably bullshit. But it’s a fun plant to smoke and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with assigning a lineage and talking up its effects.

Seriousnote, the weed genome projects are pretty wild. Lots of misnamed strains it seems: https://phylos.bio/galaxy

"My original point" was a throwaway line comparing one thing to another which for some reason you've latched on to as an offense.

The point I was making, and that you (perhaps unknowingly) reinforce with several paragraphs of rebuttal to nothing, is that anybody who would get so pedantic about their addiction of choice is just a very tiring person to deal with. (like me)

like this silliness. the hops absolutely does not taste like any of that. it tastes like hops. your brain is making connections that aren't there, and it is reinforced by marketing. but that doesnt sound familiar at all........

Different strains absolutely DO taste different. But if you think you can taste blueberry in your blueberry haze you're abso-loving-lutely full of poo poo.

just like marketers do, you are also taking a true concept and exaggerating it into absurdity.

yes the brain can make connections that aren't there and if you tell someone to taste X they are more likely to taste X and of course marketers take advantage of this

but, also, just because someone says they taste a difference that you don't taste, it doesn't mean they are bullshitting or have been deceived somehow. they could just as well be telling the truth. taste is very subjective and can also be completely altered by something as simple as what you ate an hour previously

The only time I have ever for a second thought that this might be true is that documentary Somm on Netflix. People training their entire lives to get one or two positions at an esteemed winery or something. I assume you're well aware of it, but it's these people being tested by other wine snobs who are TRYING to trip them up, and getting flustered when the students correctly surmise the wine was made with this type of grapes from the northwestern facing side of this exact hill in this block of Italy.

But those fuckers are machines, wine is all they do. Someone who drinks too much and thinks its a hobby? Mayyyyybe, but I'm not buying it.

when i worked for a wine distro. i was just a shipping clerk, didn't get super deep into the world, but just working there got to learn a lot and drink a lot and every friday my boss would come around and give everyone a glass without saying what it was and everyone would have to guess. by the end of the four years that i worked there i could get the grape varietal right like 80% of the time and the country of origin about half of the time.

i mean, there are strains of pot that smell like berries of various sorts. it's pretty on-the-nose (as it were). not exactly like if you were to jam a blueberry up your nose but if someone said 'yeah it smells like berries' and you sniffed it you'd say 'oh yeah, i get that.'

I had some weed a little while ago that had a hint of a orange sent. there was some bud I had ages ago that tasted like dirt but god I felt so relaxed ive been looking for that strain since and haven't found it.

when I say it tasted like dirt...you ever walk into a field that just got set up for like planting and you take a whiff and all you smell is like the smell of the earth? it had that scent/taste when it was smoked. I still haven't gotten more of it and I got that when I first started smoking some years ago

Show us on the doll where the marketing department touched you. But please, keep :smuggo:ly telling me what I can and can't taste in the beers I drink.

Also I don't think anyone directly claimed "blueberry haze tastes like blueberry," that's a pretty different claim than "weed strains taste different sometimes"

My original statement was that categorizing weed as making you "artistic" or "energetic" was as stupid as saying a beer is "crisp" or "smooth" which is a descriptor that changes from person to person.

Retard alcoholic then flew off the handle and tried making the conversation about ales and stouts because someone insulted their happy juice.

I couldn't tell the differences in taste between strains until I bought a vape. Then I picked up an Indica called watermelon and to my pleasant surprise it actually tasted like (candy-flavored) watermelon!

Have you tried VCDC? It’s Viper City and ACDC, last batch I had had ~1:1.5 ratio of CBD:THC. Tasted amazing, I liked it better than straight ACDC.

My fav 1:1 strain is Canna-Tsu. Cannatonic and Sour Tsunami cross, tends to hit around 9% of each, and has this earthy taste with some really pleasing sour overtones. I found it to be better than Harlequin and a hair above Haleigh’s Hope, the other two 1:1 strains I see around here.

We get a handful of high CBD low THC ones too, ranging from around 2:1 all the way to 20:1 or even 50:1 on some of the extracts.

I have not tried that strain but I'm all about high CBD stuff now. I'll look for it at my dispensaries.


gently caress, only gbs could suck all the fun out of bullshitting about weed on the internet.

I hope you drop all of your pipes and break them and your vape batteries explode in your pocket and all your edibles turn out to be weak poo poo.
