    I’m a pretty long time user…how do you even get to the point where you can weigh the effects of each cannabinoid and know which ones best suit you? I don’t even think i can find the cannabinoid profile of buds I buy at the dispensary

      For a while I was using URB brand disposables and those list a full cannabinoid profile on them. Pair that with observation of effect and you can build up a list of cannabinoids you agree with

      Barring that, go by smell! Lemony means limonene, earthy means pinene, peppery taste and burn means Beta-Caryophyline. These different terpenes and cannabinoids can combine and change the high with the entourage effect. Limonene is often uplifting, found in sativa type strains. Pinene will couchlock you, foind most often in indica type strains. Other cannabinoids are harder to identify by species though, so testing is usually required to identify them, I only know of the one with a strong flavor I can identify by taste.
