A market for different strains of Marijuana only really exist in places with sub-par Marijuana. In BC for instance, you can find differenet strains, but most people just sell straight out BC bud, because it is that good. Even then the average user really isn't that concerned. In fact, the only place I've ever been offered any kind of specialty Marijuana is in the USA. Even then, my friends, who are regulars (I am not), told me the stuff was not as good was what was being offered in BC.
Sure, you'll have some aficionados, but most people just want to get high. Either way you'd put a serious dent in profits having the government supply high quality and consistent Marijuana. You might have a few suppliers continue to make designer brands, but most would say it wasn't worth undertaking an illegal enterprise to supply a small segment of the population. You always have the option to increase penalties for Marijuana production if you want to further deter people.
