Initially. no. Eventually, way yes.the famous scientology?
Frozen pizzas can approach edibile if you bake it a few minutes short and finish it with broilingFrozen pizza's... oh and everything on any home shopping tv network.

Yeah, crystals, astrology, etc.
Horoscopes? Tarot cards? Fortunetellers? The Farmer's Almanac? Nostradmus? Ouija boards? Movies about elves, dragons, hobbits, and unicorns?
The thing about weed marketing being snake oil is actually quite apt. They say X strain produces focus and energy and whatever, Y strain makes you sleepy and calm, etc. This is about as true as cables making an audible difference - only in extreme cases. For the most part weed is weed when they actually test it.
Money Trump’s morality once again.I work for an ad agency with a cannabis account. We are very careful about making claims by strain. In fact, we have been asked by our client to be thoughtful and not lean into pot culture. It is a bit of the Wild West out there right now when marketing something like this, but at the end it will not be unlike marketing wine, beer or spirits. Sure you can show a nerd on his couch with a hot chick chillen on tv to subtly make a claim that is indica will relax you, but nothing overt. And btw, we don’t order Taco Bell in every day either. It’s a serious account with our smartest people working on it. The clients also are not Cheech and Chong and have more than a couple Ivy League MBAs.

Not a lot of dependable research, I guess.Haha, I never schedule meetings or buy electronics when Mercury is retrograde.
Wow this thread is discursive. For sure I remember (if that's the right word) some White Widow being crystalline, cold and hallucinogenically trippy whereas some OG Afghan was heavy, warm and sleepy. Absolutely scientific. And purely hypothetical.
Edit: there may be some science in the THC/CBD quantity and ratio.

Yeah, it's going to end up like spirits. From where I sit, habitual marijuana can be pretty harmful to thriving, but nowhere near as bad as alcohol.I work for an ad agency with a cannabis account.

What for? Just the music, without any shit.but I've said elsewhere on this forum, if you are looking for a tweak that will give you one of those rapturous deep-in-the-music experiences with your current setup, a light dose of cannabinoids (of most any variety) will do the trick.
Horses for courses. I mostly listen clean myself, but the altered experience is...immersing. And does remind me of the way a lot of subjective reviewers describe the new $100k component they just put in their system.What for? Just the music, without any shit.
For me pure music is enough, especially krautrockI mostly listen clean myself, but the altered experience is...immersing.
As someone who did visual art as a young person, I was beyond excited for my first adult visit to MOMA, which didn't happen until about 4 years ago.I think the best advice I could give to someone who is down on modern art, btw, is to go and see/experience some of it in person. Because, in much the same way that you cannot fully experience good audio without the room, you also cannot really fully appreciate a sculpture, or installation, or painting unless you can experience it on site, or in situ. Looking at photos someone else posted on the web is just no substitute for actually being there, and experiencing it for yourself.
Think the problem with modern art is the dishonesty of many who praise it, thinking conformity of opinion is better than honesty. Only went to the Tate Modern once and was disgusted with so much of the trash on display. A grand piano falling down on ropes then hoisted back up, two fluorescent lights the innards mounted on pieces of 2” x 4” and don’t get me started on Tracey Emin’s unmade bed. So much trash to appreciate?As someone who did visual art as a young person, I was beyond excited for my first adult visit to MOMA, which didn't happen until about 4 years ago.
I was unprepared for how ridiculous many of the "works" were. And I'm a huge fan of Picasso, Rothko, Mondrian and Keith Haring.
That doesn't make it snake oil. If the purchaser smells it, and decides they want it, then they have not been defrauded (which is a touchstone of snake oil). I have never heard any woman tell me she bought a certain perfume and the scent disappeared when they got it home.Just like audio, the smell can be rather subjective. My wife loves White Linen... it gives me a headache and makes me want to wretch. Perfume advertising frequently claims to make a person more attractive and using what are widely considered to be beautiful specimens implants the suggestion that the purchaser is also attractive. Furthermore, the margins in perfume are amongst the highest of any product very similar to audio snake oil like cables.
