The Cannabis market

I hate to say it, because I want weed legalized literally across the world. But I think the legalization push and the "tax it" mindset that …

The Cannabis market

What do you biggaz think of this article I found on Forbes.

As follows....

Science Reveals The Cannabis Industry’s Greatest Lie: You’re Buying Weed Wrong (And So Is Everyone Else)

THC shopping is almost as bad and dumb as buying wine based on how cool the label looks (which is also how some people buy weed).

Not only does THC content have nothing to do with how “good” the weed is, as recent research conducted by the University of Colorado and published in JAMA Psychiatry found, THC content is also a poor indicator of potency.

The short answer is a theory that cannabis connoisseurs and cannabis scientists have been saying for years: There are many more factors at play than THC. Put slightly longer: Judging a cannabis strain on its THC content is not unlike judging a film based on the lead actor. The THC number isn’t going to be an indicator of the performance.

There are also aromatic compounds called terpenes that dictate how cannabis affects the mind and body. All of these work in concert, a phenomenon known as “the entourage effect.” This is why synthetic THC simply didn’t have the same medical effects as smoking weed.

A good way—maybe the best way—to determine if cannabis will be good, or at least good for you, is to smell it. But in legal markets like California, that’s now impossible. Pot is sold in prepackaged containers. And the coronavirus pandemic eliminated what limited opportunities there were to smell cannabis. Some shops let you wave under your nose a designated “smell jar”—a few buds in a container with a perforated lid. No longer.

“It’s a shame,” said Neil Dellacava, the co-founder of Gold Seal, a San Francisco-based cannabis brand that specializes in high-end flower. “I find stuff that’s absolutely amazing that I have to throw in the trash because it tests at 18 or 19 percent.”

“People just don’t understand,” he added. “When people go shopping, they look for two things: they’re looking for price, and they’re looking for THC percentage.”

How do all the biggaz think the industry is progressing?

Compared where it was 30/ 40 years ago I think it is progressing very well. Especialy what is happening on the West coast USA, it provided so much new products and inovations. Yes, we will get boring tasteless big weed. Compare it to the USA beer market. There main beers brands like Bud light I would describe as pure piss, but their micro breweries are top notch and come close to the Belgium beers. To have all these different kind of concetrates and extracts have made me realize how special just smoking the flower or even better vaping it is. Keep going going back to that as my favorite way to consume: The flower it self. I wouldn't go as far to say that THC got nothing to do with the quality of the weed . That would be like saying that alcohol free wine is just as good as with alcohol. I think the whole THC myth is also enhanced by governments restricting or warning for high potency THC levels. So if THC is not it, what should you go on if I should just judge on the what is in the label and no budtender around to advice me? The strain, grower, brand, generation?

I pretty much agree with everything you just said. The micro brewery’s are matching some of the best beers from Europe and the west coast scene is just out of this world right now. I fully believe that the THC content has little to do with the overall experience. Now don’t get me wrong anything under 10-15% will be pretty weak but all the same could be really tasty. It’s becoming a billion dollar industry and this is just the beginning I feel. I do think though that many do just see the THC level and think it’s the best, old school folk see right though this though. Some of the most lovely weed I’ve ever smoked was some outdoor grown ornage bud my friend was growing in Florida. When I was there I smoked it every day it was so delicious it made your mouth water and I’m sure it was only 15% odd in the THC department :)

https://www.mydxlife.com/canna-sensor/ check this out. They sample loads of different strains and test them for terpene percentage as well as thc cbd and cbn percentage. I'm using the data theyve gathered on the exact content of bud to make the best possible cart ever. I use a combination of THC distillate, CBD isolate, CBN isolate & terpene isolates. I like a happy energized high, so I used mydex to find strains that felt like that. most of these strains contained high levels of the terpenes lemonene and beta-caryophyllene so I used these these two terpene isolates along with THC disitllate and CBD&CBN isolate and it makes a very nice high, no tiredness or couch lock. Theoretically you could make a cart the delivers the same high as any strain you wanted. I personally think this is pretty cool

here some of the main terpenes and their effects if anyone cares

Well said, I feel everyone who uses cannabis should be able to grow there own personal. The pharmaceutical side of things creates so many issues with tax , profits etc as you mentioned. The way forward it simply for people to be able to grow there own if they like. Horticulture is a great hobby after all!

No, cancard is for medically prescribed cannabis users.

It doesn't provide the legal support that's included with medicancard.
Medicancard covers medical and non medical/ recreational users also growers.
