Check the quality of cannabis

There is no exact science to choosing the best weed. After all, a lot of what we are looking for can depend on personal preference. Whether you smoke it in a joint or from a water bong, there are a few things to consider when purchasing your cannabis that can ensure you are getting high quality greens.

You want to choose the buds that you like; this could be due to the color and smell of the plant. Still, you should also watch out for unpleasant things like mold or discoloration that could indicate poor quality cannabis, and stay away from weeds that have these negative properties.

Look

Appearance is the first thing you will notice. An excellent first impression is critical, and if you are paying by weight, be sure to check to see if the grass has stems or seeds in it.

Seeds can cause an unpleasant odor and harsh taste when burned, while stems can poke holes in your rolling paper, and more importantly, both seeds and stems are the less potent part of the plant.

If you notice seeds and stems, you are paying for fillers rather than beautiful, aromatic, and potent buds.

Plus, separating the seeds and stems from the good in crumbling your grass can be a pain in the ass; You need to take out the grinder for this mixture.

The color scheme is another crucial factor. You want lush green buds; If they’re brown, that’s a bad sign. There could be other colors as well, orange, purple and red could be on the grass, but the overall color should be green. It’s not just the color of the bud that matters. Check the coloring of the THC crystals on the trichomes. It is in these tiny crystals that the THC is mainly concentrated, so the high quality and quantity of the trichomes indicate the potency of the herb. The crystals should appear cloudy. If the crystals are clear, they are not fully developed, so the effect is not as strong as when the crystals are cloudy.

How sticky is it?

The THC crystals on the trichomes are like resin, so the buds should feel sticky to the touch. If the buds are sticky rather than dry when you break them open, this is a good sign of high quality marijuana. Conversely, buds that break up into a pile of dust are likely to be of poor quality and old or too dried out.

How does it smell

When you open the container of buds, the smell should be robust and overwhelming. Unless they’re in a suitable airtight container, you should smell the weed as soon as you enter the room.

Varieties with a good strong odor are often the ones that have the most clout. The buds can smell earthy or like pine nuts, fruit, citrus, or even diesel. These are all signs that strong terpenes in the weed are intact. If the weed smells strong in a positive sense, this is a good sign of high quality cannabis.

If you still can’t smell a smell or worse, hay or damp mold, you’d better avoid these weeds. Most likely it is of poor quality or has not been saved properly. It is possible that the grass has not cured properly, or is old and dried out.

density

You should be able to break the cannabis buds apart easily. If you can only pull the bud off the stem with your fingers, it is likely well dried and hardened.

On the other hand, when the buds are compressed and resemble a piece of compressed dry tea. It could be an indication that the grass was not properly dried and cured.

Sometimes the grass becomes compact and compressed during packing and shipping to save space.

However, this crushing of the grass has a negative effect on the taste.

It also makes it harder to part and roll into a joint or blunt that doesn’t burn evenly and needs constant lighting.

Moisture content

The moisture content of cannabis is crucial. If the buds aren’t properly dried and hardened, they can hold too much water. This means that the buds will start to rot and mold will develop as they are packed.

Another disadvantage of paying by weight is that you are paying for water that needs to be vaporized before the weed can be smoked.

So it takes longer to prepare the weed and you get less for your money.

If the grass is too dry, the moisture as it evaporates will absorb much of the terpenes and flavor. This affects the quality of the grass when it comes to consuming it, and it doesn’t roll or smoke as easily.

How does it taste

This isn’t always an option, but if you’re lucky enough to try the weed before buying it, it will give you an excellent idea of ​​the quality. If the weed delivers a nice combination of flavors without being too hard on the throat and causing a coughing fit, then it is high quality weed. If the smell is strong but fresh when burned, that’s a good sign too.

Conclusion

The quality of weed can vary widely across the country depending on the climate where it was grown, local laws, storage, and many other factors.

Try to keep these indicators in mind the next time you buy weed.

Check the quality and quantity of the THC crystals. Lots of cloudy crystals indicate that the grass will have a powerful effect.

Not all grass behaves the same, however; some strains can turn you into the energizer bunny while others can calm you down. The flavor profiles also vary greatly between varieties and blends; some you may like, some you may not.

So don’t just ask the above factors, ask your budget tender as well. They can point you to a strain that has the flavor profile and effects you want. And don’t be afraid to ask for test data from a trusted third party laboratory. This can help you understand the various properties of this cannabis and let you know what to expect from it.
