There are many ways to spot good weed. Once you’ve bought different strands from different dealers, you will find key differences in appearance, smell, and taste. It is up to you to make sure you are purchasing the finest bud for your dollar. In order to grade weed, you must look, smell, and touch it before purchasing. If your dealer won’t let you take a look at the weed before purchase, it’s a sure sign that you’re getting a bad deal. If your guy is a bit sketchy, start asking your friends for other options. Understanding what to look for in a dealer and your weed will better your chances of scoring the best stuff.
Initially, you will want to look for three key characteristics. First off, crystals. Each bud should be completely covered in small specs of dust, these are called crystals. The more you see, the higher you’ll get.
Second, the weed should not be too dry, nor too wet. If the weed is too dry, it has lost most of its potency and you’ll be wasting your money. Make sure it doesn’t crumble in your hands and is slightly sticky to the touch. It is also very important that the weed is not too wet. If the weed is soggy, it won’t break apart as easily and force you to smoke more. The third most important aspect when grading your stash is potency of the smell. When you can sniff a bag from across the room, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. Recognizing great buds of marijuana from solely the smell will take some time. If you’ve stumbled onto weed that has little to no smell, you’re in store for a crappy experience. These 3 key characteristics – crystals, moisture, and smell – are the building blocks for excellent bud selection.
There are other pieces to take under consideration when grading your purchase. Make sure there are no excess or large stems as these will weight down your purchase. In addition, an excess of sticks and seeds are signs of a low grade batch. Overwhelming amounts of leaves should also be avoided. The plant should still be green with speaks of purple, orange, or red as this will demonstrate potency. Look for small hairs peeking through buds as these are gold mines for stoners. Brown weed is an unacceptable colour and should not be smoked. Overall, use your judgement when you are looking, smelling, and touching. The buds should be green with speaks of colour, a strong odour, and a sticky feel.
While you studied and surveyed the weed, there are sometimes no way of telling until you take a hit. People experience different sensations and levels of intoxication when smoking specific strands. Begin by following these tips and you’ve be on your way to finding your perfect match.
