Shakes
Introduction
Shakes are a popular product in the cannabis
industry, and they’re often used as a value-added product by dispensaries.
But what exactly is shake? And how can you tell if your weed is surprised? Read on to learn more about this versatile and affordable cannabis product.
Shakes are non-flowering,
lower-quality cannabis buds.
The bad news is that a shake is a
lower-quality product than a flower. The good news is that you can still get
high off it, and it's cheaper.
Shake is not as potent as a flower because
there are fewer cannabinoids in the stems and leaves, meaning less THC and CBD
available for you to smoke.
In addition to losing potency when burned,
shake also loses some potency when it's dried out, so the longer your bud has
been sitting around drying up after harvest or curing (the process of removing
moisture from freshly harvested cannabis), the less potent it will be once
smoked.
Also, unlike buds, shake doesn't have many
aromas besides plantlike smells similar to grass clippings or fresh hay—not
precisely what you'd call "aromatic."
Finally, while many people enjoy eating
their cannabis edibles raw as much as they would eating an apple pie or
chocolate chip cookies (without any baking involved), most people don’t consider
making shakes into pot brownies worth their time or stomach space.
How to tell if your weed is
shake
Shake is the lowest grade of cannabis and is
generally not very good for smoking or vaping. It's also not recommended for
making edibles or concentrates, though you may find that some people use their
leftovers to make "shake hash" or "budder."
Shake will probably have a higher
chlorophyll concentration than any other part of the plant, so it has an
unmistakable green tint.
It will also be covered in tiny hairs and
seeds from harvested leaves along with your flower heads.
As we've discussed, if your cannabis tastes
bitter, it's likely to contain too much shake.
How to smoke shake
Shake can be smoked in a joint, pipe, or
bong.
Shake can also be smoked in a vaporizer.
You can smoke shake in a blunt too.
A spliff is another excellent way to smoke
it.
Finally, if you're feeling especially
adventurous (and have access to some bowl), you could try smoking shake through
that as well.
