I don't think you understand how little it takes to turn potentially great bud into almost garbage weed. When growing on a large scale there's bound to be mistakes like hermaphrodites, improper harvesting/drying times, little to no cure, damaged trichomes from rough/hasty handling, etc. Just because it's a high potency strain doesn't mean that it'll be good for any grower.

The way you put it is like calling a steak a steak, no matter what cut or how fresh it is. If you can taste, smell, feel, and see the difference then why don't you accept it? If you can't then I'm sorry for you because it's obvious when you get the good stuff.

I'd rather buy an oz of some kb than 5 or 6 oz of brick for the same price: it smokes way smoother & tastes better, doesn't smell like cat piss or something awful like that, takes a lot less to get to the sweet spot, the high lasts at least an hour as opposed to 15 minutes or so, has way better "bag appeal", and is way less likely to have unknown additives. It feels a lot cleaner and nicer without the stress headaches. Not to mention the smokable weight per oz...seeds weigh like 1/6th of a gram last time I checked so with 30+ seeds in an oz of brick you're only getting maybe 23 grams minus the stems if you're lucky. Plus at least with me I'm less tollerant of the better grade, meaning it keeps doing it's job instead of having to smoke more each time to achieve the same effect.

I hope this helps to educate you on the economics of the trade and why better quality is worth more...

THANK YOU BRO!! Exactly... I was speaking from personal experience, not "research"
