Cannabis continues to be legalized in a growing number of countries for medical and recreational use, meaning that buying cannabis on the illegal market will likely soon become a thing of the past.

Just as with wine or beer tasting, it is very likely that cannabis tasting will soon take center stage in consumer experience prior to purchase.

With the new freedom of legal cannabis, the industry has been able to cultivate a wide variety of strains with highly interesting aromas, flavors, cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.

Recognizing their organoleptic characteristics, being able to determine their ideal quality and curing, the effects of cultivation, and the interaction of these elements in the overall experience are skills that will gradually become increasingly appreciated and valued among cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

This guide aims to serve as a general yet detailed reference, based on available literature and structured for the first time to consider all possible aspects of cannabis evaluation, with the goal of establishing a starting point for approaching its consumption responsibly and knowledgeably.
