Background: I am a coffee taster with 5 years under my belt and have been associating with a friend who has been letting me taste dabs of all sorts. We have been comparing notes and techniques for 5 months now.
Do you ever wanna taste marijuana like a champ well here's a little guide guide and im not pulling any punches because you gotta change the way you smoke.
1st: Vape or dabs Carbon dioxide is quite a masking flavour and it is very difficult to taste the differences when all your getting is smoke
2nd: Trust Yourself, I can't tell you how many people doubt the tastes in there mouth because they feel they aren't skilled enough. just say what you think and compare to other people
3rd: Don't inhale. This is the kicker, You won't be getting as high when you taste weed, This might be a trade off but im being 100% honest and i understand this isn’t for everyone.
Here are the most common flavours but i encourage you to find your own and post them in the thread
