// Definition
The application of sommelier-style trained sensory evaluation to cannabis, borrowed from the wine industry. Cannabis sommeliers use Interpening to identify strains, growing conditions, and quality through trained aroma and visual assessment. The methodology maps where on the psychopharmacy spectrum between stimulating and sedative any domesticated hybrid plant type will fall.
