Ok, I feel really dumb that I should know the answer to this, but after 30+ years of using cannabis, I still can't figure it out from a medicinal point of view. So many other factors seem to have a much larger impact on the final product than just being sativa vs indica.
I understand Sativa = tall with long skinny leaves and Indica = short with fat broad leaves.
What I want to know is about the medical side of things. Since it seems anyone can make any plant 'energetic' or 'couchlock' simply based on harvest time/trichrome colors, what are other things to look for that I am missing (obviously a lot).
As an example, one thing I suffer from is migraines. I found that a certain type of Strawberry Cough seems to get rid of migraines within seconds of use, while other strawberry cough's will make the migraine worse. There are so many variables on top of phenos that it is simply hard to pin anything down with any certainty. Was it the strain/specific pheno that actually got rid of the migraine, or was it the growing environment that gave the plant the properties needed to give the positive health effect?
