Tim and his team scout for potential cultivation facilities worldwide. Through a network built over years in the cannabis scene, Tim receives tips on promising growers and new genetics. A first video call checks: Is the quality right? Is there a good personal fit? 02 ### On-site Visit If the first impression is positive, Tim travels personally to the facility. He inspects cultivation methods, hygiene, GMP standards, and the final product. There are always surprises: sometimes he finds true treasures, sometimes it turns out that the alleged facility doesn't even exist. 03 ### Sensory Evaluation As a trained Ganjier, Tim evaluates each strain according to a structured protocol: appearance, trichome density, terpene profile, moisture, structure. He compares it with his experience from hundreds of evaluated strains and looks for what's special. 04 ### Import & Quality Assurance If a strain meets all criteria, the import process begins: pharmaceutical certification, laboratory analyses, EU-GMP testing. Only when everything is correct does the strain land in German pharmacies under the brands avaay Medical or ZOIKS. ## Videos by Toking Tim [All Videos](https://www.youtube.com/@TokingTim) Cannabis Sommelier: My Job at Sanity Group [ ![The Khalifa Kush Secret](https://img.youtube.com/vi/66QhwLc2xBQ/hqdefault.jpg) ### The Khalifa Kush Secret Why professionals still grow with HPS and what's behind the legendary Khalifa Kush genetics. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QhwLc2xBQ)[ ![The Secret of Professionals in Genetic Selection](https://img.youtube.com/vi/r_nf4PKQEEg/hqdefault.jpg) ### The Secret of Professionals in Genetic Selection Just yield?
