That is exactly the point I am trying to make, we need more research. I don't like to just rely on established conventions, I want to see it elaborated in greater detail.
So far I haven't seen anyone link a study that says one species of cannabis has a different ratio of cannabinoids than the other(besides ruderalis), working on retrieving studies that's findings are to the contrary as I type.

aww yissss this is my personal fave. nice suggestion!
anyways to answer original question. Yes there are differences from strain to strain. Also significant differences between sativa and indica. You must not have experience smoking a wide variety of cannabis if you believe differently. Its as simple as that.

Nope, I disagree. So does the scientist I mentioned who is researching this topic. He isn't an impartial researcher, he is also a medical patient and is just as astonished with his findings as anyone else.

I know if you grow it yourself it's a different story but most recreational pot smokers get their herb from some guy who gets it from some guys who gets it from some guy... yeah you know where I'm going with this. I just think it's kind of dumb when someone says something like, "I have some girl scout cookie nugs" or "I got some Jack Herer buds." Yeah, maybe it's some nice herb but how would someone even have a clue as to what strain they have. It seems like the same sort of thing when people say they have "fluff/needle point/lavender" LSD only people tend to believe the weed strain name shit more often. Am I missing something?
Probably the most retarded name I've ever heard someone call something is "Chocolate Haze". & here is a formula I created to use in order to make your ganja sound cool & "exotic":
__(insert name of fruit here)__ + Kush or Haze.
How about "Mind Rape", "Gorilla Panic", "They're Coming, They're Coming" & 1 called "This Is Permanent".
What movie?

Back in the late 1960s & early 1970s (I'm 61 yrs old & have been tokin since 1969)...when ozs were 'lids' & all of the weed was imported. Domestic weed was really horrible, as nobody grew with lids being $10-$15. We'd get a lot of sativas, which can make a n00b very paranoid. Jamaican, Michoacan, Oaxacan, the infamous Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Thai-Sticks ($13 each)...then in the late 70s/early 80s, Colombian hit the scene & ozs shot up to $30-$40 each. Believe it or not, Mexican weed back then was some killer smoke. Not sure when they went all garbage, but prior to their downfall, their weed was great. We used to drive around the Chicago suburbs smoking out 1 of our parents' cars. Some really good times back then...& talk about laughing! We'd be laughing our asses off over nothing really. We were 16, 17 yr old kids who thought we discovered a new way to get blasted instead of alcohol. I look back on those times & smile.

 I used to be 100% okay with Schwagg, I know you're from Texas so you're almost definitely getting exactly what Schwagg is to me. I never wanted or intended to be an elitist, but after spending a while on the good shit, and getting a bit of Schwagg, I just couldn't take it. It tasted revolting, it took a full blunt to get you legitimately high, the "crash" came after only an hour or so, and then you got headaches. It'a also a huge fucking rip off. Ever weighed the seeds/stems after cleaning an oz? That's like a 1/4 (or more) of the weight gone right off the bat.
Oh believe me, I know schwag fucking sucks. And my god man, it does taste fucking awful. I'm just saying, if I'm in the middle of a trip (which is where 99% of my bud smoking is done these days), and all that's available is schwag...you best believe that I'll light that shit up with no hesitation.
Schwag is still very prevalent in the hood here in Dallas. Make a venture to known drug areas and cruise through the most hooded out apartment complexes you can find, and you're almost assuredly going to get waved down by some black dude slanging dime bags of schwag. Before high grade became the norm, this is how I scored my chronic weekly for years.

Sounds like you have some really fun memories to look back on, that's cool. I've heard from other older pot smokers that the mexican weed back in the day was killer & that is was all sativa as well. Generally speaking, how does the weed on today's market compare to the weed back then? I'd like to hear back from you. Take care. Have a great weekend.

Because one's strain preference isn't entirely subjective 
@Shroomism I really love the kushier phenos, not that I dislike the purp-leaning ones Crazy resin production on both but especially the purp, those get so greasy/oily.

Dispensaries aside, if you get from a dealer they made the name up. I don't even bother anymore with trying to find out what its called. Its always "Kush" anyway

Not entirely true, Picked up this Blue Cheese yesterday from my vato && I assure you it's the real deal. Ive grown it before so I know that cheesy smell, its truly unique.

He's never dealt me a strain under the wrong name.
