Man I wish I could change your opinion on this subject. The regular seed is your gateway to finding the finest, most aromatic and potent herb.
There is some waste of course because there will be males but the female phenotypes are sometimes worth the effort so sex them and deal with the males. Those males give you the opportunity to make some seeds for future grows and save that $150 every now and then.
Personally I like to grow them as I've found that the variety satisfies what I try to get out of growing. I love the search. I think that desire to find that perfect one that checks all my boxes is the thing that draws me to the tents each morning. The trouble is the more I grow, the more little boxes I can think of.
I may not ever find that perfect one but I have more seeds for that next adventure. Please don't rule out regular seeds.
