**Drift (#0excludeGlossary Glossary Term)**

In the realm of cannabis, drift refers to the gradual alteration in the characteristics of a cannabis strain, often resulting from genetic mutations or environmental influences. The word #1excludeGlossary traces its lineage back to the Old Norse #2excludeGlossary which means “to drive or push,” and later morphed into the Middle English “driften,” indicating a slow, steady movement. Over time, the meaning of drift has expanded to encompass any gradual change, making it a fitting term for the subtle shifts observed in cannabis strains. These changes can affect the potency, flavor, and effects of the strain, posing challenges for growers aiming for consistency. For cannabis connoisseurs and cultivators, understanding drift is essential to preserving the integrity and reliability of their products. As the cannabis industry grows, the concept of drift underscores the importance of meticulous cultivation practices and genetic stability to meet consumer expectations.
