25 euros a gram not bad :D , that’s crazy ,w hat makes you think it’s not Cali strains grown in EU some where? Only thing different from one indoor grow room from another is geography .
Cali outdoor is not what your getting in the dam ,if you go to Northern California you soon learn the difference . The whole thing is marketing .

Tell me honestly: Did you actually read the 3,000 words of my analysis or just the price tag? Because if you had, you’d realize that my point wasn't about geography, but about the industrial madness behind it. I know, spending €35 on a gram sounds like a case for a psychiatrist to some, but bear with me while I explain why the "it’s all just marketing" argument is a bit like saying a Ferrari and a Lada are the same because they both have four wheels.

Even with the recent state-regulated "experiment" in Holland, we are talking about mass production designed for broad availability and low price points—not for high-stakes craft where someone hunts 10 standout phenotypes out of 400 plants.

The professionals producing for the mass market or even the pharmaceutical industry focus on consistency and cost-efficiency, which is a completely different world from the craft scene. It’s the difference between a freshly pulled Blue Mountain espresso and a cheap cup of bulk coffee from an 8-liter bottle; both get you through the day, but they are made for entirely different target audiences. In Amsterdam, the illegal "backdoor" is still the reality, and as long as a project can be shredded by the police tomorrow, no sane entrepreneur will invest the millions into R&D.


So, if someone’s ritual involves crumbling tobacco into their herb and setting the whole thing on fire, I totally agree—don't spend the money. It’s like putting a massive glob of ketchup on a dry-aged Wagyu steak. You can do it, but don't blame the steak when it ends up tasting like a regular burger. These flowers are engineered for those of us using BallVapes to explore terpene profiles that standard "Amnesia" simply doesn't possess. If you just want to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, the Lada is a fine choice, but please don't tell the Ferrari drivers they’re just victims of a shiny brochure. :wink:
