Defining Exotic Weed There was a time when cannabis lovers could only dream about finding the mouth watering flowers gracing the cover of High Times. Now the increasing knowledge of exotic genetics makes it possible to order extreme weed in Los Angeles. Some experts disagree on what defines an exotic strain. What consumers see as exotic on the East Coast isn’t considered rare or overly potent on the West Coast. The much slower legalization timeline on the East Coast is responsible for these differences. What can be said for sure is there are nearly 1,000 recorded cannabis strains and only a fraction are exotic. Some experts believe the strain name can help a cultivar hit exotic status. The naming process involves branding. Choosing a title that rolls off the tongue are great, but it must elicit an emotional response. For example, take Runtz. The exotic weed offers a candy-like appearance with a sweet and fruity aroma and taste. Runtz is the perfect name to grab consumer’s attention, and the appearance, fragrance, flavor, and effect handle the rest.
