Q

In areas where cannabis is legal, businesses are typically required to test cannabis flowers for potency, pesticides, and contaminants. The standards very considerably from place to place, so what items should you pay attention to when purchasing cannabis flowers?

A

Contaminants: Cannabis is good at absorbing contaminants, so it’s good to look for flowers that have been Tested in a laboratory.
Seeds: This is an indication that the flower is either a hermaphrodite or has been pollinated, but in either case this reduces the potency of the flowers.
Bud size: Smaller buds mean that the flower have come off of the lower branches which are less potent and contain fewer terpenes than larger buds.
Flower categories: Just because a flower is labeled as, top shelf, or, premium, it doesn’t mean that it’s high quality. You should check with the budtender for what the criteria is that they use to categorize buds.
