While innovation has led to a wide array of truly wonderful cannabis consumption options, dried flower remains the most popular. There is something special about lighting up and breathing in pungent terpenes and smooth cannabinoids. Whether by way of a joint, blunt, pipe or bong, flower delivers especially quick onset of effects. Because the cannabinoids enter the bloodstream via the lungs, effects tend to kick in within two to ten minutes.

Mature and properly processed buds are a lovely shade of green, featuring deep orange pistils and a frosty coating of trichomes. Trichomes are crystal-like and packed with cannabinoids and terpenes. Perfectly manicured, plump and extremely sticky nugs of good quality are pungent, often showcasing citrusy, earthy, spicy, woody, flowery or diesel aromas. There should be no signs of mold, webs or powdery mildew.
