Flower
Flower, bud and Weed are common ways adults refer to dried cannabis flower.
High Coastal Cannabis organizes flower into five established Weed categories:
Use the category as the first filter.
Then read the current product information inside it.
- Exotic Weed;
- Premium Weed;
- AAA+ Weed;
- AA Weed;
- Budget Weed.
Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls are prepared cannabis rolls.
They have their own comparison points, including:
Loose-flower category language does not need to be forced onto every pre-roll.
- count;
- total weight;
- product name;
- package details;
- current price.
Edibles
Edibles are cannabis-containing foods or beverages.
Read the actual package information because format and serving information differ from flower.
THC Vapes
THC vapes are cannabis products.
They must remain separate from nicotine-vape products.
Do not use nicotine-vape product terms as if they describe cannabis vapes.
Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates contain cannabis constituents in a more concentrated format than dried flower.
Use the current product information for the exact format.
Cigarettes and Nicotine Products Are Separate
Commercial cigarettes and nicotine products are not cannabis categories.
High Coastal Cannabis already keeps cigarette and cannabis information in separate lanes.
That separation should remain clear.
Weed, Cannabis, Bud and Flower Are Not Grades
Cannabis is the formal term.
Weed is everyday language.
Bud and flower commonly mean dried cannabis flower.
Nug or nugs is informal language for pieces of flower.
None of those words proves quality or potency.
The Five Weed Categories Help You Browse
Exotic Weed, Premium Weed, AAA+ Weed, AA Weed and Budget Weed are useful menu categories.
They are not one universal Canadian government grading system.
The category narrows the browse.
The specific product listing gives the product-specific information.
THC Is Important but Not the Whole Flower
THC is important regulated product information and relates to intoxicating potency.
It does not directly describe:
A bigger THC number should not automatically become the entire quality decision.
- aroma;
- trim;
- cure;
- moisture;
- visible trichomes;
- bud structure;
- freshness;
- personal preference.
Indica, Sativa and Hybrid Are Starting Labels
These labels remain familiar because they make menus easier to scan.
Modern commercial cannabis has extensive crossbreeding.
Use the label as one clue rather than a guaranteed effect prediction.
Translate the Slang
Gas usually refers to a fuel-like aroma.
Loud means the aroma is pronounced.
Frosty points toward visible trichomes.
Fire means someone considers the product very good.
Mids means someone considers it middle-of-the-road.
Quads is common Canadian slang for AAAA.
Zaza is newer slang often associated with premium or exotic-positioned Weed.
