Body high and Head high. What really causes it?

I am a bit confused and I would like someone to clear this up for me. I initially was under the impression that Indica's are body highs and Sativa's are head highs. Though I just read an article claiming it depends on the time of harvest. And that when the trichomes are cloudy they give you an energetic head high. But when the trichomes are amber they give you a body high and a couch lock. And when the trichomes are half amber half cloudy they give you a combo of body and head high. So are the type of highs related to the strain of cannabis you are smoking or connected to the trichomes? Thanks for any input ahead of time.

You are right on the plant type will determin the type of high, but the cloudy and amber do have a play in the type of high as well

Yup. strain and time of harvest both contribute

Uh I'm having trouble remembering exactly what I've read but doesn't it have something to do with the amount of CBD that forms toward the end of flower and the way it counteracts the THC? of course it's likely more than just those 2 compounds that contribute to the type of high a plant has. I've observed much more nuance to the side effects of cannabis than just a sliding scale between sativa and indica.

Ive read recently, in addition to the harvest time and trichome color, that the terpene myrcene is a big role in the differences between sativa and indica. Myrcene is more commonly found in indica strains, and commonly hops, and is what contributes to the stone couchlock body highthat indicas are known for. Same feeling that after two good beers you get, chill relaxed. I'm pretty sure this was very recently discovered to be the main difference and causation of differences between the sativa and indica high.

Thanks everyone! The input has cleared it up a bit for me. I have also read that terpenes have a large roll in the type of high as well. Myracene, Linalool, Limonene, Terpanene, Caryophylene etc. I searched for that link for an hour today and can't for the life of me remember where I found it. It was probably about 3 weeks to a month ago I read it and its not in my history. Sorry.

okay but what scientifically says "this strain is 60/40"? or 33.7/66.3 (sativa/indica) what "chemical" do sativas have higher, and whats higher in indica.
how does one scientifically tell you what your hybrids ratio is say it being a new hybrid created by your own hands. How can we get that labbed. I know about other cannabis lab testing facilities that tell you a whole list of levels. but.. this ive been wondering about as well in my own manner i suppose.

Every psychoactive effect per sample is unique. they say that on a molecular level, THC itself, per organic sample is as unique as a snowflake

Great contribution^
Check out the delta section under "science" , alhough this is quite basic overview.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol
Theres alsot a lot more than THC/CBD going on, and remember the effect differentials of synergy concerning ratio. Then factored in with individual response to whatever array is present. All you can accurately do personally to guage any effects to you with what you have in your hand is ask yourself how you feel and whether you like it.

If each sample of thc on the molecular level was different, it would be a different substance all together. Basic chemistry well teach you that.
Hence the derp.

I was talking about the delta factors and such but of course the 9 is the common thing. Still always absolutely unique when combined synergisticaly with the vast list of other known cannabinoids. It keeps things in a state of constant variety at least
