You are ill informed oink, not surprisingly. Stoners love the non psychoactive medical pot, that's what gets them "stoned" and makes cancer patients feel better. The psychoactive pot is what gets people "high" , gives them more energy and creativity, favored by artists, adventurers and school teachers trying to come up with decent lesson plans.

You got it kinda right. It is the indica strain that is used as a pain killer because of the higher thc content. It tends to be a heavier feeling like an opiate.

Sativa is the energetic high and makes people chatty and philosophical. It also has more cannabadiol which has been shown to help kill cancer cells and also helps treat ms, seizures and other illnesses. Cannabadiol is considered the medicinal part of the plant and with in the past five years plants that are high in cannabadiol and low in thc have been made to make medical products for the elderly and children since it is non psychoactive without the presence of thc yet it still maintains the medical benefits.

THC on it's own is really not much fun. It causes a sort of nightmarish high but in conjunction with even trace amounts of cannabadiol it becomes the giggling happy high that made the plant famous. So the balance of indica to saliva and thc to cannabadiol is what makes all the different strains different.
