Since I last posted on Marijuana Critic I have experienced a part of the emerging Marijuana Culture, guidance by "Leafly". This may be ok, in particular where the Marijuana Strains as named were represented locally as named and the characteristics are probably accurate in those localities. In addition there is a tendency among some growers and producers to simply use a cool sounding name they have encountered.

I am becoming more and more convinced that much of the genealogy behind today's Indicas is dependent upon the OG18 Kush cancer pain relief Marijuana breed at Vancouver British Columbia for medical purposes.
