There seems to be several divides within the cannabis community. Many people, especially those who have worked in weed for a while, have strong opinions on the way things “ought to be.” This runs the gamut from how pot should be packaged to rules around testing. But one topic seems to have a general consensus within the shopping space – although a disconnect seemingly still exists. I’m talking about the great indica/sativa debate.

The Trump administration has stirred up every corner of the political landscape since taking office on January 20th. His appointment as Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), is a well-known anti-vaccine conspiracist.

Sure, finding a random seed in a bag of flower may lead to an impressive result (just look at Chemdawg).
