I'd like to get a list going of strains that produce the "clearest" highs (when a normal sized bowl is smoked). My definition of "clear" is very strict so here's the criteria:
Little to no 'head-fog'. You feel noticeably high, but not 'retarded'/'stupid'. You are very functional, and can do things without being forgetful/losing track of the task. You do not feel attached to your couch (no couch-lock), do not feel lazy. The physical part of the high-- the 'stone' (heavy feeling)--may be present, but if it is it must be affecting only the body.
This is the most important one ----> There should NOT be a 'puffy' feeling in the front of your head behind the face (e.g. inflamed sinuses, heavy eyes, hot face). If there is a physical stone located in the head, it can only be in the back of the head, the front near your face should feel like it does when sober.
Usually (rule of thumb) if the area behind your face does NOT feel something resembling a sinus-cold (pressure), then the rest of the rules will likely be met, and the strain has a good chance of being considered "clear".
If you need a comparison, think of the oxycodone high. Your body feels warm/fuzzy/melting, but your head feels relatively clean and clear.
Don't be fooled, not all sativa strains are clear. For example, classic haze is considered sativa-dominant, but always leaves a heavy feeling behind the face IME. Likewise, not all Indicas are UNclear. You may disregard strains you have tried that were poorly grown, b/c if a particular batch of cannabis was not grown properly, then usually the effects are not truly representative of that particular strain.
