At Feel State, we encourage you to choose the strains that smell best to you rather than hunting THC percentages — and in this episode of The Feels, Max Montrose, President of Trichome Institute, explains why! Max and our host, Jeff Rowse, get into the nitty gritty of how to interpret the smell of your cannabis to predict what effects it may have, the contents of a plant’s trichomes, Max’s thoughts on the sativa/indica paradigm, and more.
