#0excludeGlossary in the cannabis lexicon is a term that signifies the crème de la crème of cannabis products. The word itself is a fusion of #1excludeGlossary which has long been associated with excellence and superior quality, and #2excludeGlossary indicating the ultimate or final point. This term has its roots in the broader consumer market, where #3excludeGlossary has traditionally been used to describe luxury goods that are crafted with precision and care. In the context of cannabis, #4excludeGlossary refers to strains and products that are cultivated with the utmost attention to detail, often featuring rare genetics and exceptional potency. The evolution of #5excludeGlossary in cannabis reflects a shift towards a more sophisticated consumer base that values not just the effects of cannabis, but also the experience and craftsmanship behind it. As the industry continues to innovate, #6excludeGlossary products are setting the standard for what discerning consumers expect from their cannabis experience. This term is not just about the product itself, but also about the lifestyle and status that come with choosing the best. [Source: Wikipedia, MedPub]
The state of the art (SOTA or SotA, sometimes cutting edge, leading edge, or bleeding edge) refers to the highest level of general development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field achieved at a particular time. However, in some contexts it can also refer to a level of development reached at any particular time as a result of the common methodologies employed at the time.
The term has been used since 1910, and has become both a common term in advertising and marketing, and a legally significant phrase with respect to both patent law and tort liability.
In advertising, the phrase is often used to convey that a product is made with the best or latest available technology, but it has been noted that "the term 'state of the art' requires little proof on the part of advertisers", as it is considered mere puffery. The use of the term in patent law "does not connote even superiority, let alone the superlative quality the ad writers would have us ascribe to the term".
