Understanding the Differences Between Premium and Affordable Cannabis

Weed is often synonymous with cannabis, but have you considered the processes that cannabis undergoes before you enjoy that evening joint or vaping session? While cannabis is indeed weed, the cultivation methods and processing of its buds significantly influence the final quality of the cannabis you receive.

The number of dispensaries and online stores is increasing daily. Therefore, it is crucial to rely on reputable physical and online dispensaries that ensure the quality of their products, like Kootenay Botanicals Canada. We are dedicated to providing you with only the finest, top-shelf cannabis. Kootenay Botanicals Canada invites you to explore our extensive selection of quality products.

Returning to the question posed in this article: What distinguishes premium cannabis from affordable options? Several factors play a role in this discussion. First, the cultivation method of the cannabis plant is critical in determining whether you are purchasing top-shelf premium cannabis. While we won’t delve deeply into cultivation techniques, it’s important to note that factors such as soil quality, light exposure, water availability, and the use of organic or synthetic fertilizers and pesticides all influence the strain’s characteristics, impacting the density, color, and shape of the final bud. Observing these physical traits can help you distinguish premium cannabis from affordable options.

Another key factor that affects cannabis quality is the drying and curing process. Cannabis should be properly dried—neither too wet nor overly dry. A useful tip is to bend a stem; if it snaps, it’s a good sign. If it’s too dry and crumbles, it can irritate your throat. Conversely, overly moist cannabis can develop mold, which is a significant concern. The curing process is also essential. Top growers invest time in allowing the buds to dry and cure, facilitating the breakdown of chlorophyll and transforming non-active cannabis into a potent compound. Some growers offering affordable cannabis may rush this process to sell quickly and at lower prices. Proper curing is vital; if done incorrectly, all the effort put into growing the plant may not be reflected in the quality of the buds.

Smell plays a crucial role as well. If chlorophyll doesn’t break down adequately, the cannabis may have a hay-like aroma. Improperly dried buds can emit moldy or unpleasant smells. Remember, cannabis contains over 200 terpenoid compounds that influence aroma, appearance, and therapeutic effects. Premium cannabis guarantees you will receive the highest quality available. When investing a bit more, it’s often because these essential processes have been respected, resulting in better-quality cannabis.
