So I used to be the person that wasn’t too into strains because of your point. It seemed folks were just creating new strain names every other second. And there are... Folks that just trying and hoping they come up with something catchy enough.
Then I moved out to a spot that has growers which chase strains that actually are worth a damn. Strains which genetics can be tracked and understood. Folks with an understanding and a plan for the development of new strains, not just throwing random males and females together.
I then started doing my studying and have began to learn the world of cannabis genetics and strains more, nowadays I’m to the point where I can look and smell buds and know what their parents likely were.
My last strain was G13, as I said I’ve previously smoked this strain 4 yrs ago or so and this stuff was identical in every way. So identical it’s eerie.
Once in a great while I’ll go to a shop, buy some bud and be questioning the strain but usually those are cheap/shit stores.
I guess when it comes to medical cannabis every state is different and maybe some states have more problems with misnamed strains than others?
