Not now, this was around 2006/2007If your second paragraph is true, that truth only applies on a local or regionalized level. In most parts of America high quality cannabis is mainstream
But, again, what some call high quality now is not the best, its just better then the older stuff on average that most people got. I still haven't found anything like that real deal herb I used to find. Most herb is just fresh, and grown sinsimellia style, the growers don't use top quality techniques. This makes people think they got the best, as they are used to stems, and seeds, in their dry ass weed.
One, because it will cost too much for the nutrients. Two, most people won't pay the premium for it. Three, most growers don't know the techniques. It's much safer economically to do the normal grow techniques everyone use it, the same nutrients, and same growing styles. As long as the herb is good, you can make consistent money.
I'm not into it for the money. Herb is my love, so I just want the best out of her. Plus, i want to be the new age Branson. If you knew Branson, only certain people could get his herb uptown. When they did, they all rapped about it. Even the classic "half baked" with Dave Chappel, made a character based on him. Only a few knew what he looked like!
