I know the industry wants to move away from using 'retail' naming schemes for their CBPM's After a year a being prescribed I can't say I'm particularly wedded to CBPM's keeping their current naming scheme. As long as I understand the lineage. I do find it excruciating sometimes having to ask a medical professional for "Candy Terpy Unicorn Shit with a twist...10g please". If it said "XYZ" on the label but on the back it provides the lineage that would be fine with me. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
Some countries are reconsidering their current policies. France have implemented their medical system without flower even available. Its believed largely due to the blurring between the recreational and medical markets. The naming scheme doesn't help in this regard.
 
Wouldn't be all that arsed about things changing name wise.. What I do find a piss take is the complete lack of terpene information from a MASSIVE percentage of cultivators, it ought to be an industry requirement considering so many other things are such as data logs for humidity, temps.

For me, i think it's insanely disrespectful to start renaming flowers.

I see 2 issues really.

1) People have spent their lives dedicated to creating the right strains. Some of these names have a lot of history, culture and story behind them. I appreciate to the average person they're just weird names but you're effectively removing someones name from their work which I think is really sad among other things.

2) Confusion. Like most of us I'm a seasoned user and I've enjoyed rec markets all around the world. How am I supposed to know that SCK is Sun County Kush without someone telling me? The clinics/pharmacies won't call it that so that means I have to rely on 3rd parties to understand my medication.

Partial 3) We already see suppliers straight up lying about their flowers, some suppliers won't give you the lineage info as it is and keep it all hush hush. I think by moving to an arbitrary naming system you're going to get growers finding it even easier to pass off any old shit as legit medication and confusing the patients even more. Not that they can't really do the same thing already. I just think muddying the waters makes it even easier to mug us off.

I actually think all of the names need to be preserved exactly as they are, and if UK Medical wants to move away from those names then they need to introduce their own strain libraries rather than removing the watermark of artist.
 
This is the abbreviation we should see C O A simple as that a scam that we dont see them . DISGRACEFUL

To many using same genes so harder to find out whats what . It suits them alot more than us thats obvious.
Future for canna meds is already eradicating cannabis culture , Do you agree that GYO should be fought for


We are at the helm of big pharma in uk n i think if anyone came from canna culture can see whats to come , Look who owns what in this game would and should sicken us
I wont be embarrassed by asking for certain named strains while they scam with no C.O.A , alot more to be sorted in my eyes before name abbreviations
Cheek they have got.
