Why Strain Comparisons Beat Reviews
Reading a review of one strain is abstract. Comparing two strains you're actually choosing between is concrete. When you land on this page, you already know both names — you just need someone with actual retail experience to tell you which one fits your scenario. That's what our budtender team does every day on Jamaica Ave. These pages are that conversation, in writing, for the customer who isn't in-store yet.
