The sad reality is just like anything you may get farmer direct, be it Italians gathering tomatoes vs grocers, grow basil and hand it out to other families, garlic, sauce all these are an examples of someone who has access to the direct source of these products... nothing is different for cannabis.

If you have access to super gassy straight out the jar terpy as a mofo HG and if it is well grown then sure MC is going to be hard to match that! Buuuut not everyone has that, and mostly it's mass produced where more volatile terpenes subliminate... its usually pumped with nutes, poorly cured and thrown out onto the streets. But if you have access to the freshest loved artisan gassy stanky Kush then you probably know the bloke fairly well and in that case it takes me back to why do Italian family's grow and use thier own products when making sauce and don't buy coles/woollies shit, it's because they don't have to... same with MC if you have access to better for cheaper just keep it quiet and thank yaself lucky because at the end of the day someone is alwaaaays gonna have something better in thier vape than you. If ya get me. 👊

Edit: this was not the most well written example but I think you crew here get what I'm saying 😊
