High Coastal Cannabis Guide
High Coastal Cannabis organizes flower into five established Weed categories:
Those category names make the current menu easier to browse.
This guide explains the flower language behind them without pretending that one label can describe every characteristic of a product.
The five categories are menu navigation.
They are not one universal Canadian government grading system.
A category helps narrow the browse.
The current product listing supplies the actual product-specific details.
Adults may compare:
Two products in the same broad category can still look, smell and handle differently.
Genetics influence the plant.
A cultivar name helps identify a product.
It does not guarantee that every producer's version of a familiar name will be identical.
Indoor, outdoor, greenhouse and hydroponic describe different parts of the growing process.
None automatically guarantees better flower.
Flower keeps changing after harvest.
Drying reduces moisture.
Curing is part of controlled post-harvest conditioning.
Storage and handling continue to matter after packaging.
Trichomes are resin-producing structures on cannabis.
Visible trichomes create the frosty appearance people notice on some flower.
Frost is a visual clue.
It is not an exact THC measurement.
Adults may describe cannabis as:
Those are aroma descriptions.
They are not official grades.
THC is important regulated product information.
Do not turn Exotic, Premium, AAA+, AA and Budget into fixed THC ranges.
A larger THC number does not automatically determine the category.

Quads is common Canadian slang for AAAA and generally suggests premium positioning.
