    <description>You grab a familiar strain at a new dispensary, expecting the same chill experience you&#039;ve had a dozen times before — and it completely misses the mark.

    <description>The cannabis industry has mastered the art of selling vibes over actual quality, and your wallet is paying the price. From matte-black jars to influencer co-signs, luxury branding has created a premium tier that often has more in common with marketing budgets than with what&#039;s actually in the bag. Here&#039;s how to tell the difference — and when cheap weed might actually be the smarter buy.</description>
