Flower
Get to Know Your Buds
Dive into a world of chill vibes and timeless traditions with the hero of cannabis—good old flower. Also fondly known as bud, this is the part of the plant that’s meant for some laid-back smoking. Picture it: cultivated with care, harvested with good vibes, dried to perfection, and cured just right before it finds its way to our dispensary shelves. It’s a journey of its own, and it’s all about that natural goodness.
What Is Cannabis Flower?
Technically, marijuana is a plant. The female marijuana plant grows a flower that is harvested, dried, cured, and sold in dispensaries. Cannabis flower is the term for the dried bud of a female cannabis plant, often fondly called a “nug” because they look like little nuggets. Conventionally, the flower is harvested, dried, cured, and made available at dispensaries. And guess what? This flower is not a one-hit wonder. It’s got a lot more to offer! Once it’s done being the star of the show, it continues its journey to become the foundation of some seriously cool stuff. Think vapes, concentrates, and even edibles. Yep, it’s not just a nug, it’s a whole vibe.
Flower Power
Within each flower lies a complete array of cannabinoids, which collaborate to bring forth the enchanting psychoactive effects observed when enjoying marijuana. Dive deeper, and you’ll discover flavonoids and trichomes, which are important reservoirs of THC and terpenes—the natural fragrances present in the oils of blooming cannabis. The intricacies of marijuana flowers are so profound that researchers continue their quest to comprehend the full spectrum of compounds within these extraordinary plants and their potential impact on our well-being.
Unveiling the Cannabis Rainbow
When you stop by Stairway Cannabis, you’re entering a world where buds come in three distinct types of marijuana: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. While scientific evidence suggests minimal disparities among these categories, fervent cannabis enthusiasts assert that their experiences might differ based on the type they choose. So let’s break it down:
Indica
Embrace the cozy vibes of Indica plants. Imagine robust relaxation without the scientific fuss about “couch lock.” These plants come from the Middle East and India, bringing a blend of tranquility and slightly higher CBD levels.
