difference in american and asian cubes

I feel that these strains feel different, for years I've heard a cube is a cube, and its true for the most part. I don't believe one could be more visual or spirtual than another, but there's something about the feel of them I can't put my finger on. I've now heard one of the t.c.'s say try gulf coast and cambodian and you can tell a difference. Just wanted to know if anyone experianced something similar. I don't want this to turn into a strain thread and have everyone say a cube is a cube, just maybe we can admit that its possible that location of origin has an effect on how it feels, I know no strain is more potent as with m.s. any strain could be weak or strong, but I notice some kind of diffence. Also american cubes include north and south america. ( I even notice a slight difference north and south american strains but the difference between american and asian strains is definite)

Could it be you want to believe there is a difference and as such, your set is different? Not exactly placebo effect but more mental set makes it different? Just wondering...
The species would have the same type of cells... Should be producing similar substances in similar ratios, though some difference by age and growing conditions...

I think that could be a possibility, its just strange bc I've gone back and forth and the ksss is always unique in that way because I usually eat south americans like eq and brazilians. I feel the ksss almost always locks you in your mind if that makes sense.But yes I won't refute that its placebo because its not like I've performed clinical trials on them and the mind is very powerful. Maybe I think thailand and it gives me the trip of what senses come to mind when I think about thailand, kind of hard to explain, But then again I believe we haven't discovered anything yet one day maybe true research will be done if they ever are legal which I think will only happen if the aliens show up.lol just kidding I meant they'll be legal when pigs fly.

I would love to see a real study done on this with a double-blind trial and everything. I'm sure this is an unscientific way to approach it, but it would be cool to give two groups doses of the same kind of cubes over the span of several weeks, then tell both groups that they will be getting a new strain next time, but secretly give the first group the same strain as before. then either measure brain activity or just have them fill out a questionnaire.
even if we were to confirm that there is no difference between different "strains," it could provide interesting insight on the placebo effect on psychedelic states of mind.
of course this will never happen because practically all new knowledge on the effects of mushrooms is coming from people like us at this point rather than the scientific community

so many people say "a cube is a cube is a cube..." but although we are discussing a single strain, there are a plethora of sub varieties within that strain due to environmental contrast of their place of origin.
a human is a human is a human but as we have evolved and adapted in different geographical regions and climates, we have developed different characteristics, physically, culturally and spiritually... why cant the same be said for mushrooms?
IME when cultivating different varieties of cubensis in identical conditions they will still display different visual characteristics and different psychoactive effects which, in my opinion, can be attributed to the varieties unique evolution within its native place of origin. I feel that this creates specific deviations that are genetically transferred through their spores.

I'd love to l personally travel and take prints around the world to cultivate in a country where its legal so I can study this easier and I would have confirmation on where each print really came from.
