Cannabis Flower FAQs
What is cannabis flower?
Cannabis flower is the harvested bud of the cannabis plant, dried and cured to preserve aroma, flavor, and cannabinoids like THC and CBD. It’s the most traditional and recognized form of cannabis.
How do I choose a strain? Beginner vs. seasoned?
- Beginners: Look for mid-range THC (15–20%) with clear indica or hybrid tendencies for predictable effects.
- Seasoned users: Check terpene profiles (like limonene for uplift or myrcene for relaxation), rare cultivars, or higher-potency runs.
Always ask our budtenders for flavor and effect-based recommendations.
How do I store flower to keep it fresh?
Store buds in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place to maintain moisture levels and preserve terpene aroma. Avoid sunlight and extreme heat to prevent drying or degradation.
What are terpenes and why do they matter?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in plants—including cannabis. They influence flavor and aroma (e.g., citrus, pine, mango) and interact with cannabinoids to shape your experience (sometimes called the “entourage effect”).
How do I gauge potency or quality?
Look for lab-tested THC/CBD percentages and terpene data. A smooth burn, rich aroma, and properly cured bud (not dry or crumbly) signal good quality.
What consumption methods are best for flower?
You can enjoy flower by rolling it, packing a pipe or bong, or using a dry herb vaporizer. These vaporizers are different from vape pens—they’re designed specifically to heat ground flower instead of oil or concentrate. Vaping preserves terpene flavor, while pipes and bongs offer ritual and strong, fast-acting effects. Choose the method that fits your comfort and lifestyle.
Is there a difference between indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse flower?
Yes:
- Indoor offers precision control and often more potent, flavorful flower.
- Outdoor can have earthier aroma and is typically more affordable.
- Greenhouse blends cost-effectiveness with quality flavor due to controlled greenhouse conditions.
How much flower should I buy as a beginner?
Start small—an eighth (3.5g) gives you enough to explore strains without feeling overwhelmed. It’s perfect for testing effects and preferences.
Can flower be used for cooking or tinctures?
Absolutely! Decarbed flower can be used to infuse butter, oils, or homemade tinctures. Always follow proper dosing and decarbing guidelines for safe, effective use.
Are there deals or bundles for flower?
Yes—look for pre-roll and flower combos, daily strain deals, and loyalty program perks. Ask your budtender or check the Deals page for current offerings.
Where can I legally smoke flower in Las Vegas?
Smoking is limited to private residences or licensed consumption lounges. Public smoking—like on sidewalks or in casinos/hotels—is still prohibited.
What happens if I grind flower too fine?
Grinding too much can restrict airflow in bowls and pipes, leading to a hotter burn. For rolling, a medium grind is ideal—enough to burn evenly without being too fine.
Pro Tip: Ground it too fine? Don’t toss it!
If your flower is ground too fine, it can still be used! Try these options:
- Pack it in a joint or blunt: While a medium grind is best for airflow and burn consistency, finely ground flower can still work—especially if you use a crutch and roll tightly. Just be mindful it may burn slower or require a bit more finesse to avoid canoeing.
- Use a filter/crutch: Especially helpful in joints to prevent clogging or pulling bits through.
- Sprinkle on top: Add it as a “kief-like” layer over a bowl of coarser ground flower.
- Try a dry herb vaporizer: Some vapes handle fine grind well—just don’t overpack.
- Make edibles or infusions: Finely ground bud decarbs and infuses more efficiently in butter or oil.
Only toss it if it’s scorched, overly dry, or tastes harsh—otherwise, you’ve still got some usable green!
What should I know about terpene-rich runs or exotic cultivars?
These premium strains can deliver intense flavor and unique effects. They’re popular with savvy users—just expect stronger aroma and sometimes higher potency.
Can flower lose potency over time?
Yes, slowly. THC degrades into CBN over months. For best potency, consume within 3–6 months if stored properly in a jar, cool and dark.
