Overrated strains

The concept of "strain" in general is overrated IMO. Just give me something dank and I'm happy; could care less if its sativa or indica it all gets me where i wanna be in the end. But I've also never had the luxury of choosing which strain i want living in a non-med state so my opinion could potentially change if I was introduced to a wider selection.

 

If you live in a med-friendly state and have the privilege of choosing strains you'll see how overrated it is.... Not really, more like a kid in the candy store. Indica? Sativa? Hybrid? Mostly Indica? Mostly Sativa? Dense? Fluffy? Edibles? ...someone please stop me! 

 

stop teasing me D: let me bask in my surly attitude

 

White widow is overrated. Today strains really knock it out of the water. I'd take a train wreck hybrid any day!

 

Purple haze I think is overrated its good bi put not that good

 

I live in a med state as well and all I can say is that it all boils down the grower. You could have two identical seeds from the same plant, even the same bud, and both growers would have different looking plants. One will have upsides the other doesn't and vice versa. Someone who's been growing for 20 years can bring up a plant bigger, and stronger that someone who has only half of that experience. For instance, on the topic of purple kush, last summer I had that same 'strain' from 2 different dispensaries and my caregiver. They all had different CBN/CBD content, different looks, color, feel, smell, and high. They were all in a similar family and could be classified together, but at the same time they were all very different. If I did not get them from the dispensary or grower I would have probably thought they were all different strains. ​

 

I think all strains have different Characteristics aand I do agree with it being the grower most definitely then you have to throw in the quality. Maybe the purple was Reggie vs. The dank you copped from the dispensary.
