The staggering complexity of the Cannabis plant creates a kaleidoscope of shapes, colors, aromas, flavors and effects – enticing people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. Concurrently, these people have a diversity of tastes and preferences – translating into a Cannabis landscape where a strain can be a hit in one corner of the country, while not even on the radar in another.
