Its amazing to see varieties of the same plant have such a broad range of effects on people's behavior and state of mind. This chart does not even consider the consumption method.
Its cool to think that in places where consumers have both information and choice (like SF and Amsterdam) the taste for weed will get refined. Strains will be grown for states of mind that consumers desire and demand.
'The Botany of Desire' is a really cool book/video that describes how cannabis DNA has been evolving according to the human brain's desire to affect its own state (the book also talks about apples, potatoes and tulips for other examples of human-driven plant evolution). We're probably looking at the results of strains that were originally selected for a market primarily driven to the potency of THC. I'd love to see the strains that self-select in markets where consumers have information and choice.
