Which Should I Choose?
Both are reliable, moderate-potency strains well-suited to beginners. Choose Golden Teacher for a slightly more introspective, 'teacher' quality and the deepest body of user reports. Choose Texas for a warm, sociable, gently creative session that shines in relaxed group settings. The potency is comparable, so the decision comes down to mood: inward and reflective (Golden Teacher) versus light and social (Texas). Start low with either and adjust to taste.
