Nah its more mismanaged, an 'indica' strain might not be indica at all.

Its like a bunch of stoners trying to guess what breed a dog is without knowing what a dog is tbh

The "Indica = sleepy/couch-locked; Sativa = energy/head high" belief isn't true. The effects are caused by a complex mix of chemicals that isn't fully understood yet, and few producers talk about. Sativa and Indica have very little, if anything, to do with it. It also doesn't help that the vast majority of strains are hybrids, making the terms even more useless. The terms are just slapped on any strain that is perceived as uplifting or relaxing (edit: or have a genetic mix being majority one or the other).

That which we call Indica, by any other name would smell as sweet is an essay on the origins of indica.

A great example of why appeals to authority have no place in science.
