What Makes Weed Exotic?

It may be confusing to understand what makes weed exotic. If we remove cannabis from the equation, what does the word exotic really mean?

An exotic animal like a bird from Costa Rica might be exotic to North Americans, but it’s not to South Americans. Thus, exotic weed means strains and genetics that were bred elsewhere from where you reside. But that’s not all.

Any beginner to cannabis might look at any strain as exotic, considering that it’s completely out of their territory. But, seasoned users who know their weed might want an exotic strain that presents;

• Bolder colors
• Higher terpene contents
• Higher cannabinoid contents
• Powerful effects

While some of the strains below have genetics that hail from different countries like Afghanistan, Australia, Jamaica, and Colombia, most are only labeled as exotic for their cannabis properties noted in the list above.
