The CBC reports on research published at Plos One: Prof. Jörg Bohlmann and a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia have found 30 genes within the cannabis genome that determine the aroma and flavour of the plant.
The findings are the first step toward creating flavour standards that can be replicated. With Canada on the cusp of legalizing pot, Bohlmann said "standards could be created that follow the wine industry, where the types of grapes and effects of climate and terrain on the crop's flavour produce specific and replicable varieties of wine."
Of course this now opens the door to multinationals taking control of the pot industry, introducing GMO strains, and driving the craft industry out of business.

Are you sure it was in fact weed? I am guessing it was either laced with something that made you sick or it wasn't weed. If they were random people at a party or wherever and offered, it could be anything and they told you it was weed. Whats worse, if you were drinking before and smoked some laced crap it could turn into a nightmare. That happened to me years ago when I thought I was going to smoke weed but turns out it was PCP. The high was awful and made me incredibly nauseous causing me to vomit four times. Next day was a hellish hangover. It's possible you had a similar experience and it wasn't weed or laced with something nasty.
If you were with experienced smokers whom you trusted then you shouldn't have gotten sick. Even my first time smoking I got super stoned after like two big bong hits and completely lost my sense of time. Next day I was fine though a little tired. And that's the worst I have even gotten from smoking in terms of a "weed hangover", you feel sleepy the next day. The cure for that is a nice cup of coffee. No headache, no nausea, no aches and pains, no dehydration and accompanying cramps, no sleeping in until noon and still feeling like crap. In fact, weed can help prevent a hangover if you drink as it helps you sleep which alcohol messes up. The day after drinking it can help suppress the effects of a hangover better than aspirin.
