I live in michigan, and feel that dispo weed has a few issues. The first is stale flower. The time a plant sits in warehouse before it hits the shelves is embarrassing. Some prerolls are over a year old. They gas off so much flavor, in this time. Dispo weed also has multiple pheno plant runs. When it's tested, they get varied numbers, because they haven't isolated the winning pheno. When we pick up our weed, the first time, it may not be the same pheno, when you go the second time. This is lack of consistency. Big no, no in the hospitality dept. A big mac is always supposed to taste like a big mac. Let's not forget dispo weed runoff is not good for the environment. It's a pollution, that nobody wants to talk about. And don't get me started on METRC. Those fucking blue tags. Drives me nuts. Couldn't they be biodegradable for fuxks sake? And lastly, salt weed doesn't have personality or medicine, because of the grow. They are all white lab grow rooms with no soil.
They say terroir is all the factors that influence a plants life, and the farmer is a big part of this equation. Commercial farming lacks the love. Small farms get more interaction with the plants, and this is important. You can feel the difference in the flavor, and the effect. Last year my pine tar o.g. blew out everyone in the grow. Worker said it felt really nice to be stoned again. Hasn't felt this kind buzz in years. Soil/sun weed is just better. You can't make a light that does what the sun does. They have really good ones out now also, but they will never beat the sun. Synthetic/salt growers say the plant can't tell the difference between salt nutes and living soil. But research tells us plants communicate, and help each other using the root zones. And they can see/recognize us. Its not fairy tale hippy stuff anymore. Its factual.
I shop dispo weed alot. I like to check the market. And it's not good. Have not found a brand that I like as much as my own grow. Went on vacation to ventura cali two years back, and smoked the dispo weed. Wasn't any better. Just same dispo
athena weed.
The best weed I've had was home grown g13. It made me hallucinate.
you will never find a dispo strain that will take you to this place. It just won't happen. Homegrown in michigan since legalization, has went waay up. The boof growers quit, and the all you have left are farmers that are growing fire! Just like beer and wine, and bourbon, the best is small craft sun soil weed!
