If you’re a patient at Revolutionary Clinics, you’re already familiar with the traits of high-quality cannabis. For those of you who are new to medicating with cannabis, you may be unsure where to begin when looking for signs of good marijuana. After all, you don’t want to commit to becoming a patient at a Massachusetts dispensary only to find out they have an inferior product. Here’re a few tips to keep in mind when you’re trying to figure out which marijuana flowers are good and which are the best.
What Does Good Marijuana Look Like?
Even the untrained eye should be able to identify poor quality cannabis at a glance. If the dried flowers look like they came from unhealthy plants, chances are they did. Excellent cannabis flowers should be mostly green after curing, ranging from light lime to a rich, hunter green hue. There may also be hints of purple, pink or blue. A thick frosting of crystalline trichomes is extremely desirable on flowers as is a tight, dense bud structure.
Always avoid cannabis if you can see seeds. Also, although not indicative of poor plants, excessive leaves and stems are symptoms of lazy trimming and can result in a harsh smoke with a chlorophyll flavor.
What Your Nose Can Tell You
Well-grown and well-cured cannabis can smell like fruit, vanilla, pine, skunk, or any of countless aromas. The intensity of that aroma can tell you quite a bit. Quality cannabis should have a fresh and powerful fragrance to it. If you can smell it from a distance, it’s probably great flower.
Other Signs of Good Marijuana
Properly cured flower will be somewhat springy and sticky to the touch. Avoid dry buds that crumble on contact or wet buds (they may attract mildew and won’t burn evenly).
Good cannabis tastes fresh.

Does this mean I can see/sniff samples of your offerings before I make a choice? I ask since the bud I receive is always pre-packaged.
Thanks for you question. We do have some samples of our flower in locked cases the sales floor that can be opened up and smelled.
A good guide for choosing products. It’s especially helpful if you’re able to smell before you buy.
