The Real Story Behind Sativa and Indica: Todd McCormick Explains Why Modern Weed Feels Different

The Real Story Behind Sativa and Indica: Todd McCormick Explains Why Modern Weed Feels Different

From Senior Savvy Cannabis:

What if everything you’ve been told about sativa and indica is wrong? 

In this episode, I sit down with cannabis legend Todd McCormick to uncover what really drives cannabis effects — from harvest timing to terpene dominance to the misunderstood history of Skunk #1.

Todd shares decades of firsthand experience as a grower, researcher, and activist. We talk about why myrcene became the world’s most common terpene, how COAs and THC percentages mislead consumers, and why “energizing” vs. “sedating” labels often come down to how (and when) the plant was harvested.

If you’ve ever wondered why your “sativa” makes you sleepy — this conversation will change how you think about cannabis forever.
