Respectfully, I disagree with you.The people who are worried about some special cut leaking out are just like that guy. So you got a cut that smells and tastes good, and that's about it. Big deal. You didn't invent cannabis, and you didn't invent the best cannabis plant ever, you just built upon others' work and created something decent. If and when I create (or stumble upon) something good like a Cookies cut you better bet your ass everyone and their mom who wants a copy will have access, for an affordable and fair price.
All you people hoarding shit to try and make yourself look good and attempting to keep all the profit and glory for yourself are doing it completely wrong. Do you think Cookies would be anywhere near as popular right now if it hadn't leaked out? Or anyone would give a fuck about OGKB in a years time if it weren't leaked? Would OG Kush be anywhere near as popular today if it had been a closely guarded cut that nobody could get a copy of? Of course not. It would be an item of conversation for a while until it was found that no grower could get a cut, and then everyone would move on to better things. Your shit would quickly be forgotten and buried under a pile of thousands of other cuts which also have great smell and taste, while also yielding more and stretching less. So better thank your stars that the cut leaked out despite your absurd hoarding mentality.
My ONLY point... is that NOT ALL pot strains are considered equal!!!
What fun would ANY cup be if EVERY grower turned in the same "HOT" strain? It would be lame. Strains set us apart from another, and can be the difference in having a customer base or not. EVERYONE wants the Benz, but only can afford a Kia... We all want what we can't have, and lastly, with all the THOUSANDS of strains, why not choose one of those. All the people that want the exclusive cuts are the ones gripping about how they should be shared with everyone for NOTHING. Well, that's what all those OTHER strains are for... PLENTY of options!!!
