The CBC reports on research published at Plos One: Prof. Jörg Bohlmann and a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia have found 30 genes within the cannabis genome that determine the aroma and flavour of the plant.
The findings are the first step toward creating flavour standards that can be replicated. With Canada on the cusp of legalizing pot, Bohlmann said "standards could be created that follow the wine industry, where the types of grapes and effects of climate and terrain on the crop's flavour produce specific and replicable varieties of wine."
Of course this now opens the door to multinationals taking control of the pot industry, introducing GMO strains, and driving the craft industry out of business.

Have you a good dealer? Because you could ask for low-THC strains. There are a lot of seriously fire strains and hybrids going around, sour diesel, kushes, gorilla glue, etc. Those can really knock you out. I am currently smoking Tangie: https://www.leafly.com/sativa/tangie [leafly.com]. A little bit goes a long way for me and I can still think and work. I can even smoke it and go for a walk.
Also check this out for more help: https://www.leafly.com/news/strains-products/cannabis-strains-for-beginners-and-lightweights [leafly.com]. That site has a load of info and every one of my experienced smoker friends recommended it.
