I think the reason for keeping the "fancy names" for our beverages, edibles , sprays and our gel caps might be partly for the reason you wrote, but for other reasons too. I dont think all of these products are pretty much void of everything that relates to the strain. Some of these products include the terpenes and stuff. Also, even cannabis capsules that have terpenes removed, they still have the cannabinoid content of the specific strain.
Maybe some of these injestable products may also change to the original cultivator name over time. But for many reasons, they might not with some of the products.

Most longs might recall my post last year about wanting to pivot away from our "hero" strains Bakerstreet / penelope / houndstooth for our dry flower strains and focus more on the original cultivar name .
Bakerstreet Penelope Houndstooth Highlands Donegal Balmoral
Hindu Kush Skunk Haze C-Land Afghan kush Green Cush Uk Cheese
From now on for our flower strains we are putting the focus on the cultivar moving away from our hero strain names . This is huge !
Of coarse we will keep it for our beverages, chocolates , sprays and our gel caps due to the distillate after extraction is pretty much void of everything that relates it to the strain.
Hey WEb how is going . Yeah we all had a good discussion about this and most here wanted this change too .
As far as the beverages and chocolates using the strain names that is staying with the hero strains bakerstreet ,houndstooth ,penelope . When using distilled cannabis you are extracting pure thc so that you can produce a product with no cannabis taste . So no terps or flavinoids . After this process you are left with pretty much no resembalance of the strain you used unless you reintroduce the terpenes after the distilling process . Which for beverages you dont want to and our chocolates we dont want to either because we have our world renowned award winning hummingbird , and we want customers to taste the chocolate not cannabis .
Some LP's offer a broad spectrum or FULL spectrum gummie (affirma). But we dont.
Furthermore most legal offerings that are distillates (510 carts) reintroduce botanical terpenes which are not strain specific or even come from cannabis plants . Botanical terpenes are plant or fruit produced terps and are widely used VS using strain specific terps . Now
live resin 510 carts are flash frozen at harvest to preserve all these compounds for the "entouage effect" which gives a more "fuller high" so if you want strain specific terps buy a live resin cart VS a distillate cart.
