I just wanted to note that this post has an exceptionally high truth:word ratio.
They develop strains that look good in the shop but have the taste and nutrition of, as you say, cardboard; then stick some BS name on them to make people buy them.
I hate that shit.
Gimme a pink lady. (I
was thinking of apples, but now that I reconsider...)
