A strain with crazy THC levels is not needed to get the results a person is likely looking for.

With the legalization of cannabis in more and more states in the U.S., the plant has been experiencing a period of reevaluation. People are now into it for a variety of reasons, whether that’s relaxing, partying, working out or some therapeutic reasons.

But how can a person tell if his or her weed is still good? Like all things cannabis, this becomes easier the longer a person is exposed to the plant. Good quality cannabis begins with where’s its purchased, hopefully using all of one’s senses to get a full picture of what will later be consumed. Here are some things to keep in mind when making a weed purchase.

The seller matters

Now that more U.S. states are legalizing cannabis, there’s no need to smoke ugly-looking weed. Consider purchasing weed by bearing in mind that it is going into the body.

Check out local dispensaries or ask around for sellers and brands that offer quality product. The more legit the seller, the higher odds that the cannabis has of being cultivated by companies that focus on producing quality cannabis with a diverse batch of cannabinoids.

Use the senses

Use all senses to determine the quality of the product. Good-quality weed should smell good and strong, look bright and colourful and feel airy and light. The flower should separate when pressure is applied to it. Furthermore, it shouldn’t fall apart by itself or be dense and overly sticky.

Bad weed is pretty distinct

Once a person has had some experience with high-quality weed, the bad stuff is easier to spot. Steer clear of any type of weed that smells, looks or feels off; also, strains that claim to have extreme effects.

For example, if a seller notes the offer strains with more than 30 per cent THC potency, ask more questions since that seems unlikely. A strain with crazy THC levels is not needed to get the results a person is likely looking for.
