I have to say, there are MANY different highs or stones that can be felt from cannabis. Set and setting does play a small role, but if you have tried a wide variety of mary jane you would know that there can be some hugely different effects between batches.
I will say I think one needs quite a bit of experience before its super noticeable, you get fucked up enough off any good weed that differences in effect are much of a muchness and easily chalked up to set and setting unless one is quite experienced and/or well read on drug use and experiences. It may be different in places like liberal US MMJ states or Amsterdam but where I live weed is rarely sold by brand name, overly specific quality or even with a definite differentiation between sativa and indica. In this case I do understand from early personal experience that it can be hard to believe there is THAT big of a difference from one to the other. That said, I currently can EASILY tell the difference between sativa and indica, but 6 or 7 years ago (been smoking 10 years or so, but the early years less habitually than later ones) it would of been kinda difficult. I guess I have always been a heavy smoker, and even recent experience tells me that if you smoke enough sativa you will still get stoned and not 'high'.
Marijuana isn't manufactured or extracted like meth or cocaine, its side effects aren't determined by cuts or synth impurities. Cannabis is a plant with many active compounds which grows in a hugely variable environment which in turn influences the ratios of the many active compounds/cannabinoids leading to a wide variety of potential cannabis experiences. Anyone who can't tell the difference between the main two types of weed is either inexperienced, naive or not actually getting a strong variety in the type of cannabis they typically smoke. I could go to my room now and if I were to smoke the two most different buds in my possesion the high is differentiable enough that it could be percieved as two totally different drugs, and that is living in a region that unfortunately lives by the philosophy that green is green and the main distinctions are whether its bush or hydro and whether its good or shite.
