Kinda curious because I want to target certain effects like energy and focus and avoid anything that would couch-lock me.

On leafly? Basically useless.

Unfortunately, you will need to taste test a strain yourself to see how it effects you.

Theres no hard evidence on why different strains produce different experiences. Some think it is the terpene profile, or the plant age at harvest, or your mentality and expectations and mood, or your personal bodily chemistry, etc.

Maybe its one of these, maybe its a mix. Maybe its something we havent considered.

Sadly, this means no website or budtender can accurately tell you how a strain will make you feel.

In my personal experience? Strains with similar terpene profiles have similar-ish effects. Sour, heavy citrus strains give me headaches and make me anxious, while pine heavy strains make me sleepy and mellow. I trust my nose with strains I do not know.

Try and find a pattern that works for you. Stick with it until the science can catch up.
