I know what you are saying, I love good weed as much as the next guy, in fact I get called a pot snob quite often under my friends.
But I also feel that the natural plant just as it is out there in nature can be an awesome smoke, once well taken care of after harvest.
It certainly was good enough for humanity, as is, and without grinders for thousands of years.
Maybe I'm not familiar with the strains in your parts, and especialy many of the commercial strains, I smoke too much to be able to be picky most of the time.
Got a nice connect for decent mids until my plants get harvested, even got a 10g baggie for free yesterday. Stuff is makeing my eyes hurt, I'm that stoned.
