The Basics

What Is Flower?

Marijuana, grass, weed, herb — it goes by many names, but it’s all the same thing: cannabis flower. These are the actual flower buds harvested from the cannabis plant, trimmed, cured, and packaged for you.

You can buy flower from a dispensary in two main forms:

Loose Flower

Cannabis buds in their natural form — not rolled or processed in any way. Pack your own bowl or roll your own.

Pre-Rolls

Ground flower pre-rolled in smokeable paper and ready to go. Also called joints. Perfect for convenience.

Flower comes in a wide variety of strains that produce different effects depending on THC levels, other cannabinoids, and terpene content.

How To Use

Ways to Consume

Flower is one of the most popular forms of cannabis because of its versatility and quick onset. Most people feel effects within 10–15 minutes.

Pipe or Bowl Pack ground flower into a bowl, light, and inhale. Simple and portable.
Bong Water filtration cools and smooths the smoke for a cleaner hit.
Pre-Roll / Joint Ready to go right out of the package. Great for sharing.
Vaporizer Heats flower without combustion for a smoother, cleaner experience.
Cooking / Edibles Decarboxylate flower and infuse into butter or oil for homemade edibles.
Pro Tips

Getting the Most Out of Flower

Store It Right

Keep flower in an airtight container away from heat, moisture, and light. A cool, dark place preserves potency and flavor.

Start Low, Go Slow

If you’re new to cannabis, start with one or two puffs and wait 15 minutes before taking more. Everyone reacts differently.

Grind Your Flower

A grinder produces an even, consistent burn and better airflow whether you’re packing a bowl or rolling a joint.

Know Your Strain

Ask our budtenders about the strain’s terpene profile and effects before you buy. The right strain makes all the difference.
