Strains
Before we talk about specific strains it is important to step back and look into cannabis basics. Kind of like cannabis 101. Mention the word cannabis and the reaction is audience dependent. We have all had the experience of showing up someplace and smelling like a freshly baked fatty. One of those aromas that can be challenging to loose. The burden with that is most people will recognize that scent like a skunk or nature gas, maybe even a little unnatural gas, but either way they know what it is and where it is coming from. And the danker the flower, the better and stronger the aroma should be! Cannabis, also known as marijuana among several other names, it is a flower of the Cannabis plant intended for use as a psychoactive drug or medicine or a combination of the two.
