Why the Cheapest Weed Isn’t Always Worth It

Cheap cannabis

Been on the search for cheap weed? Hey, we get it! With the cost of living and all the everyday expenses, we’re all chasing prices we can afford. However, when it comes to cheap weed, chasing prices that are considered bottom dollar may not always be the best route. In reality, cheap weed may not be worth the price you pay. Find out the risks you take when you opt for cheap weed at some dispensaries.

The Potential Downfalls of Buying Cheap Weed

You spot an eighth on the menu for a price so cheap, you feel inclined to buy it, even if it’s not your favorite strain. But is this a good idea? Not usually. Cheap weed doesn’t necessarily always mean bad weed, but it does lead to a lackluster experience more often than not. In most cases, the bottom-dollar cannabis options are:

  • Lower Quality: Often, cheap weed is lower in quality, which might mean it’s not as potent or flavorful as higher-priced options.
  • Questionable Testing: The source of the cannabis may be known but the testing might be questionable, potentially leading to issues with undesirable contaminants.
  • Less Potency: You might not get the high or medical benefits you’re looking for, as cheaper weed can be less potent.
  • Poor Curing: Cheap cannabis might not have been cured properly, which affects both the taste and the smoothness of the smoke, but also its shelf life.
  • Inconsistent Effects: Expect variability in effects; what you get might not match the strain’s supposed characteristics.

It’s easy to skip over the higher price tag in favor of something that saves money, but, in the end, you may find you would have been better off to spend the extra for a better experience.

The True Value of Premium or Craft Cannabis

While premium or craft cannabis picks like our Head Stash collection at Happy Valley may be a little more expensive, the price is a worthy investment in your experience. This top-shelf flower comes in highly desirable strains like Sugar Shack #5, Another Level, and White Truffle, all of which have a robust terpene profile and exceptional potency.

Opting for higher-end cannabis you come across on the market may mean a larger investment, but it is not without reason. These cannabis strains are selected for their impressive genetics, carefully grown, harvested, cured, and packaged to make sure terpenes and cannabinoids are well-preserved, freshness is at its peak, and the flower is as shelf-stable as possible for a natural product.
