bud vs. acid: body/head = visual/head?

Just curious, does anyone know if the same mechanism for the difference in body and head highs with weed is responsible for the difference in visual or heady trips with LSD? I'm aware with weed it's a matter of different cannibinoids being active, I'm just curious about the actual chemical effects they have. I'm mostly just thinking about how distinct the difference can be, with both drugs, and how body highs tend to slow time down more, "impair" you more, etc...similar to with LSD and visual trips.

Well son,
Cannabis can be indica or sativa. Indica is a short plant with wide leaves, and has more of a concentration of CBD and other cannabinoids primarily. Sativa is a tall skinny plant with more THC and a 'head stone'
All cannabinoids act on your cannabinoid receptors. There are many different cannabinoids.
LSD is lysergic acid diethylamide. It is one chemical. This chemical is somewhat similar to serotonin, which regulates mood. LSD fits into certain kinds of serotonin receptors, actually across a diverse array compared to other psychedelics, but it is commonly said that psychedelics mostly affect the 5-HT2A/B receptors. Differences in acid that you get are really just a measure of it's purity.

So they're unrelated then? That's what I would assume, this connection just sort of came to me so I thought I'd ask about it just in case the cannabinoids trigger some sort of mini-serotonin domino effect similar to LSD...haha it's funny, I'm a daily smoker but know less about how cannabis acts on the brain than LSD.
The purity thing I've always sort of suspected, so in your experience is it that purer means more or less visual? The way shit has always sort of just felt to me is that "lower purities" just act more sort of like big brutes vs. purer batches taking the more tactical appraoch, so the same dose of lower purity would actually feel heavier, more visual. Of course, I suppose this could also just be because the acid I thought felt 'cleaner' was actually lower quality and just less intense.
