Creating New Strains Of Cannabis Essential To Cultivators For Introducing New Products With Higher THC Levels

Palm Beach, FL – April 22, 2021 THC is perhaps the most well-known cannabinoid within cannabis. THC, short for tetrahydrocannabinol, is famously responsible for cannabis’s psychoactive effects. Because of this, many cannabis users assume that a strain with a higher THC percentage will always be more heavy-hitting and have stronger psychoactive effects. Recent reports are showing that consumers are demanding higher and higher THC levels/percentages. A recent report on recent trends by an industry insider, said: “What we’ve been seeing over the last few years, is an increasing demand for high THC strains. While we’re learning more about how the present terpenes in a strain might play a more important role in the effect or ‘high’, consumers actually consider their options in a simple way: “get the highest THC for lowest $. Cultivators have to play the game and stay on top of the preferred strains in the market. Or better yet, one step ahead. Tastes and preferences change very frequently in this market, partly fueled by breeders constant production of new cannabis strains. Growers who have access to a breeder or employee who can start a program, would be wise to develop and name their own strains. When you’re the only producer of a certain strain, your competitive edge improves.”   Active Cannabis companies in the markets this week include Ikänik Farms, Inc. (CSE: IKNK.U), Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), Trulieve Cannabis Corp.  (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF), MedMen Enterprises Inc.
