How to Choose
As legalization has occurred in many countries, there is a growing demand for high quality cannabis strains. But it can be hard to discern between good and bad cannabis. This will ensure that you get the best cannabis experience.
Here are some tips to identify high quality cannabis strains.
Appearance
It is important to look at the appearance of high quality cannabis when trying to identify it. High-quality marijuana should have a bright color and be compact. The small resinous glands located on the top of cannabis plants, called trichomes (or small glands), should be clearly visible and plentiful. The presence or absence of trichomes means that the cannabis plant is properly grown and cured.
Aroma
It is possible to tell if cannabis has a strong aroma by its smell. High-quality cannabis must have a strong and pleasant aroma, which is indicative of the strain. You should not smell musty or moldy, as this could indicate that the cannabis was improperly stored.
Taste
It is important to also consider the taste of cannabis when deciding its quality. High-quality cannabis will have a pleasant, clean taste that matches its aroma. If the cannabis taste is unpleasant or harsh, it might not have been properly cured.
Potency
The potency of cannabis is measured by the amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) present in the plant. High-quality cannabis varieties should contain a level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) that is consistent with the advertised potency. Different strains can have different levels, so make sure you know what the potency is.
Testing
Third-party laboratories will test cannabis strains from many dispensaries and growers that are reputable. This ensures that they are potent and safe. You will want to find strains that have been tested for pesticides, mold, and their THC and CBD levels.
Price
Although it is not an indicator of quality, the price of cannabis strains can make a difference in how they are priced. It is more costly to buy high-quality cannabis strains than lower-quality ones. It is important to be cautious about strains that are significantly less expensive than other strains. These strains may not be as high quality.
It is important to combine visual, olfactory, as well as taste-based assessments in order to identify high quality cannabis strains. You will have a safer and more enjoyable experience if you are able to fully understand the strain’s effects and its testing results. You can make confident decisions about high-quality cannabis varieties that meet your expectations and needs.
