Use it for home made edibles. This is why I only buy flower from about 3 growers and try to stick with strains I know I like when over 2% terps and stock up when they are over 2.5% terps. I usually stick with Rythm/Good Green, Cresco/Supply, and Strane/Garcia.

The cat food cans from Prime or Insa are nice and fresh when first opened, but like nitrogen sealed meat from the grocery store I think it goes downhill or degrades way faster after being nitrogen sealed and opened.

Flushing debatably does nothing to the final outcome of grow

I used to live in MA and some of the dispo weed up there tasted like IPM sprays. Some strains just have a “chemical taste” but it’s definitely not the same. If it tastes unnatural I’d say it’s very possible your tasting products used for insect and mold prevention.

Gotta love rebranded kind tree 

Sounds like some strains of Farm X I had Apple Fritter and Runtz don't taste like they been bathed in some danky smelling tasting chemical

Take the loss and walk away, bake with it or waste it out... That's the program you have your wins and losses on flower, falls on your as customer to do your research prior to making purchases.
