This is the point I was going to make... SHAKE IS NOT AS HEALTHY TO SMOKE! The more plant matter as opposed to tricomes you smoke, the more crap you get in your lungs! Also there is less THC in the leaves, so yes, you will get less benefit out of it. Now we should differentiate between "shake" and "trim". Shake is usually what ends up at the bottom of a container once the buds have been removed. It can contain HIGH levels of tricomes if they've fallen off the buds. But more likely it will just be loose leaves. Trim is what you remove from the buds to make them look good for sale. Trim can have lots of THC, it all depends on a number of factors. But in any case, the more GREEN matter (leaves), the less THC compared to buds, and the more harsh and damaging the smoke. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't use the shake or trim! In fact, it may have less THC, but MORE of other important cannabinoids including CBD. Therefore it is perfect to use in edibles once processed into oil, butter or tincture. You can also make hashish from it using cold water process or a pollinator. These methods are far preferable to smoking, especially for medical patients who can't tolerate rough smoke.
That's not a bad deal, I generally pay $40 an oz for shake, but going to a dispensary, they will jack the price up. Are you in California, there medical prices are high. As others have said, it probably has less THC then buds, roughly 1/3rd of what buds have.
^so true. they could have less than a 3rd tho. it also depends on what kinda shake (fan leaves v. close trim)
yea im in california. It's good stuff I smoked some last night and this morning. Barely any leaves in it. Good amount of thc. I'll probably just do this from now on
fuck yes. its like little parts of bud? i think i might rather have that than bud... haha, especially if they mix it all together. is it just the stuff that is left in their jars that isn't nuggy enough to sell?
45 min anyhow. they keep hitting you like mushrooms or something... or maybe that was the mushrooms..
yeah I smoked the shake from a dank plant before. even though its from a dank plant it is about the same as buying some mids. same kind of high too.
I've got a bit of shake I'm going to do some baking with soon. it's from 4 or 5 types of killer bud so it should be awesome!
This is the type of shake ive always gotten. Although this is from a dealer, not from a dispensary or a grower, so maybe if its from one of those sources who deal with the actual plants it could be more plant material, but the shake i always get is the bottom of the big qp bag of dank nugs, so its always good shit.
that's what i always assumed what 'shake' was. 'trim' is leaf material and what should and is used (by most people i know) to make hash
