What is Cannabis Flower?
It is the part of the cannabis plant (Sativa, Indica, or Ruderalis) used mainly for recreational and medicinal purposes. It contains cannabinoids for the psychoactive experience.
A bud has a strong smell due to its resin glands, which hold cannabinoids and terpenes, giving it its unique aroma and flavour. Depending on the strain, its appearance can vary, with tightly packed clusters covered in tiny, frosty hairs called trichomes.
There are two ways to use this product:
Recreational Uses
Marijuana flowers are popular for their psychoactive properties. When consumed, they can induce feelings of euphoria, enhance creativity, and create a sense of relaxation.
Many recreational users report an altered perception of time, which can make everyday activities feel more engaging. A common method of use involves smoking marijuana flowers in joints or pipes, while others infuse them into edibles like brownies and cookies for a longer-lasting effect.
The recreational marijuana experience varies depending on the strain and dosage, with some users seeking mild relaxation while others pursue a more intense effect.
Medicinal Uses
Medical marijuana helps manage chronic pain, reduce nausea (particularly in chemotherapy patients), and alleviate anxiety. Studies also show that it may help reduce the frequency of seizures in certain epilepsy patients.
Components of THC Buds
Cannabis is a plant with a rich chemical makeup, containing over 550 natural compounds, including more than 140 classified as cannabinoids. When you smoke the plant, you will experience the effects not only from its common THC and CBD components but also from terpenes and flavonoids.
Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are compounds in the cannabis plant, primarily in its flower buds. Because of their plant origin, they are also called phytocannabinoids. They include high delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and little cannabidiol (CBD), the two most well-known and researched phytocannabinoids.
After THC and CBD, the most abundant cannabinoids in cannabis are:
Cannabigerol (CBG)
Cannabichromene (CBC)
Cannabinol (CBN)
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
Cannabivarin (CBV)
Terpenes
Terpenes are aromatic components responsible for the unique taste and smell of the plant. There are over 140 terpenes, some of which are unique to the plant. The most common are beta-myrcene, trans-caryophyllene, and alpha-pinene.
Some terpenes have sedative impacts that can aid in treating insomnia and anxiety, while others interact with cannabinoids and show potential in treating skin and mental health conditions.
Flavonoids
Though sometimes overlooked, flavonoids offer valuable therapeutic effects. It can produce a range of effects, like those of terpenes and cannabinoids. They have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. For example, apigenin offers both anti-anxiety and estrogenic effects, while cannaflavins A and B are particularly powerful anti-inflammatory compounds.

Buds: Most common form of high-quality flower, composed of dense, resin-coated clusters. They can look and smell different depending on the strain, and they’re packed with the compounds that produce the desired effects.

The average amount is about 20%. The levels range from 10% to 30%, with 10% being low and 30% representing very potent strain products. Most dispensaries offer products around this average, with some going over 25% due to advancements in the cultivation of some growers.
