You're mostly right, but there are enough differences between strains of cannabis that while not quite the same, it's more like a doctor talking over whether Lorazepam or Xanax would be better for you. Dispensaries do probably take it too far, but I haven't been to any.

Even for those who use "recreationally", there are different goals. Some people use it to sit on the couch and watch netflix. Some use it to clean their bathrooms. Some use it while snowboarding or rock climbing. A lot of people use it to self-medicate anxiety and other issues. And different strains can be better for each of those.

As much as there may be a difference in flavour for wines, they all get you drunk the same way. Not so with cannabis.
