About
A sommelier, not an encyclopedia.
SŌMA is not a catalogue of cannabis, and it is not another Leafly clone. It is a sensory sommelier — built to help one person choose flower that suits their own taste, feelings, favourite strains and whatever happens to be available.
The one principle
SŌMA must never become an ordinary strain encyclopedia. Its single purpose is to help people avoid bad purchases through personal sensory taste matching.
“Is this strain right for this person?”
That is the value of the product. That is the core of SŌMA.
How SŌMA stays honest
The engine never fantasises. When it cannot know something, it tells you so — calmly and clearly.
Not enough batch data
When the information is thin, SŌMA says so plainly instead of pretending to know.
Grower and freshness decide a lot
The same strain can be excellent from one brand and flat from another. Packaging date and storage matter.
A sensory match, not a guarantee
SŌMA compares sensory profiles. It never promises an outcome it cannot see.
