Description

There are various qualities of flower sold in dispensaries, usually graded as low shelf, mid shelf, top shelf, and Private Reserve. As many dispensaries do not have a Private Reserve grade, top shelf is usually the most expensive cannabis available. Top shelf buds are high quality, often high in potency, and usually harder to find strains. Exclusive House Special Top Shelf weed

“Did this nug run use top-shelf buds or just mids?”

What is top shelf cannabis?

“Top shelf” means cannabis flower of the highest quality, so it lives on the highest shelf in the store, with more visibility, rather than hidden below on the low shelf. Top shelf strains are produced by quality growers, with high potency and great flavors and aromas. They are usually grown indoors, which allows a grower more control over the final product.

Nowadays there is also “Private Reserve” cannabis flower, which is a step above top shelf. Private Reserve strains are different in that they are usually exotic and grown by influential growers or brands.

Exclusive House Special Top Shelf weed

Top-shelf is slang for a high-quality cannabis product that is often the most expensive on a menu. Finally, in terms of cannabis flower, top-shelf weed will exhibit an aesthetically pleasing appearance, demonstrate desirable terpene aromas and flavors, and have a high cannabinoid content. Top-shelf weed is sometimes referred to as loud weed for its potent fragrance and high quality. It also has other synonyms, including high-grade and fire.

Is exotic weed the same as top-shelf weed?

Exotic weed may just be rare or from an exotic location and not necessarily top-shelf. Beautiful cannabis may not deliver the taste and aroma that makes it rise to a premium level.

Is Runtz or any single strain considered top shelf?

Some strains are bred to be premium cannabis but genetics are just the beginning. Even high-quality genetics can be wrecked by poor soil, the wrong nutrients, or careless curing and drying. So, smell, appearance, and feel determine quality, not the name of the strain.
