Why Marijuana Connoisseurs Will Never be Happy with Legal Weed

Why Marijuana Connoisseurs Will Never Be Happy with Legal Weed
-Theresa Yarbrough

Marijuana connoisseurs are known for being picky about the look, taste, smell, and high of their cannabis. They analyze the entire plant profile and use their senses to determine the quality of the product. However, connoisseurs are wary of cannabis companies whose obligation is to stockholders, not the consumer. They value transparency, quality control, personalized experience, aesthetics, and brand trust. They seek out premium cannabis brands that prioritize quality and use high-quality ingredients. Companies that prioritize profits over these factors may not meet the standards of connoisseurs.

Quality: Connoisseurs want the best quality cannabis, and they believe that the look, taste, smell, and high are all indicators of quality

Personal preference: Every person has different needs when consuming cannabis, and connoisseurs want to find the product that best meets their needs

Reputation: Connoisseurs want to be associated with high-quality cannabis and are picky about where they buy their cannabis to ensure that they are getting the best.

To fulfill their quest for the best weed, connoisseurs should have the freedom to select their seed strain and grow their own cannabis, just as one would select a fine wine. Additionally, there should be a licensed cottage industry for those who enjoy cultivating and sharing connoisseur-grade cannabis. Here's why these measures are important:

Quality Control: Allowing consumers to grow their own cannabis empowers them to have full control over the cultivation process, ensuring the highest quality product that meets their specific preferences

Personalized Experience: Similar to selecting a wine, growing one's own cannabis allows individuals to tailor the strain, aroma, taste, and potency to their liking. This personalized experience enhances the enjoyment and satisfaction of cannabis consumption

Empowering Small-Scale Growers: Establishing a licensed cottage industry enables passionate growers to showcase their expertise and craftsmanship. It fosters a supportive community where connoisseur-grade cannabis can be cultivated and shared among enthusiasts

Promoting Diversity: Allowing individuals to grow their own cannabis and fostering a licensed cottage industry encourages the cultivation of diverse strains and genetic varieties. This promotes biodiversity within the cannabis community and preserves unique flavors and effects

Education and Exploration: Growing cannabis at home and participating in a licensed cottage industry provides opportunities for education and exploration. Enthusiasts can learn about different cultivation techniques, genetics, and the intricacies of cannabis cultivation, further enhancing their appreciation for the plant

Economic Opportunities: A licensed cottage industry can create economic opportunities for small-scale growers, contributing to local economies and job creation. It supports entrepreneurship and innovation within the cannabis industry.

Marijuana connoisseurs are picky about the look, taste, smell, and high of cannabis because they value quality, aesthetics, sensory experience, personal preference, craftsmanship, exploration, and community. They are wary of cannabis companies whose obligation is to stockholders, not the consumer. By implementing laws that allow personal cultivation and establishing a licensed cottage industry, individuals can fully embrace their passion for connoisseur-grade cannabis, while promoting diversity, education, and economic growth within the cannabis community.
