No matter where you live in the US, people will proclaim that the cannabis “out west” is much better than the cannabis available in your own particular state… Granted this isn’t the case if you live in a single of the aforementioned western states with killer weed, but I’ve heard it said in every other place I’ve lived nationwide since as early as middle school.
Honestly, I was impressed by the cannabis flower products available in my state within a year of medical marijuana getting legalized.
Maybe I didn’t have the same kind of black market connections as other people, but the quality of cannabis at the medical marijuana stores was far in addition to beyond the dodgy crap that was hawked to myself and others on multiple instances. Even if you get a batch of cannabis flower products from the dispensary that stinks a little “off,” this was a near constant issue with black market weed whenever I purchased a seventh or quarter of an ounce at a time. I recently got a chance to visit a state that is often hailed for its quality marijuana, but I was left disappointed. Don’t get myself and others wrong, you can find phenomenal cannabis in those states, but it isn’t in a completely different league than the best cannabis strains available in my home state. I even brought back a jar of OG Blueberry, the famed indica hybrid strain that dates back to the 1960s. It was a phenomenal batch of cannabis, but it was equal to the best possible marijuana available in this state. I don’t think that people realize just how simple it is to fall prey to the sitebo effect, even if it’s you being convinced that something is disappointing instead of actually good.
