Meet Ira, a cannabis connoisseur who is always on the hunt for the latest top-tier craft indica flower. She visits her local cannabis store two to three times a week with a monthly budget of $300–$400, carefully selecting strains that provide the deep relaxation she craves. For Ira, nothing compares to the rich aromas, complex flavors, and signature heaviness of a high-quality indica. She values freshness, potency, and the care that goes into cultivating truly exceptional flower, making craft cannabis her go-to choice.

Ira appreciates the meticulous cultivation that goes into craft cannabis, and Royal Dive #3: Hindu Glue from HighXotic immediately caught her attention. Glistening with a snowy layer of trichomes, it delivers an unmistakable funk—a mix of earthy musk, petrol, and subtle notes of lime and sweet cream. The smooth, full-bodied effects help her settle into a state of relaxation, making it a staple in her lineup.

She also enjoys Interstellar Stash by Rocket Factory, a rotating collection of rare, high-potency cultivars designed for cannabis enthusiasts like herself. With over 100 phenotypes waiting to be launched, each batch brings something new and exciting to the table. Ira loves the thrill of discovering fresh indicas that deliver exceptional potency and terpene-rich profiles.

Another standout in her rotation is Gas Face by Sixty Seven Sins. This indica-dominant hybrid, bred from Face Mints x Biscotti, boasts dense, frosty buds with dark green and purple hues. Its rich, gas-like aroma blends notes of skunk, fuel, and a hint of sweetness, making it an irresistible choice for those who love a heavy-hitting indica. The deeply soothing effects are exactly what Ira looks for in her evening routine.

 

Why Ira Chooses the Regulated Market

One of the key reasons Ira prefers shopping through the OCS and licensed dispensaries is the assurance of quality and transparency. She trusts craft cannabis brands to follow strict cultivation and curing processes, ensuring she gets fresh, high-potency flower every time.

The craft designation on the OCS means these small-batch producers follow meticulous, hands-on processes, including hang drying, hand trimming, and hand packaging. These techniques help preserve terpene profiles and product integrity, ensuring that Ira’s favorite strains deliver a consistently premium experience.

Beyond quality, products from the OCS offer reliability. Ira knows that when she purchases a product she loves, she’ll get the same experience every time. Unlike unregulated sources, where strain names and potency can be unreliable, legal products go through rigorous testing to ensure accuracy. She also appreciates that licensed producers are continuously developing new and unique genetics, giving her access to exciting cultivars she wouldn’t find elsewhere.

Is Ira Real?
Yes. But most consumers we survey like to stay anonymous, so we just use their first names and take photos of paid actors reenacting their shopping experiences (they’re actually stock images🤫).
