Kensington Green Guide
THC is one of the easiest cannabis numbers to compare. That makes it useful. It also makes it easy to overvalue. THC matters to intoxicating potency. It does not automatically tell you whether one flower is better than another in every other way.
The legal product information tells you about THC in the specific product.
That is important.
It does not directly tell you:
aroma;
trim;
moisture;
cure;
visible trichomes;
bud structure;
freshness;
cultivar preference.
Those are separate characteristics.
Numbers feel objective.
If one package shows a larger THC value, it is easy to assume the decision is finished.
Cannabis flower is more complicated than that.
Two flowers can have similar THC values and still look, smell and handle differently.
A flower can be very aromatic without having the highest THC number on the menu.
A high-THC product can be less aromatic.
That simply means aroma and THC are different characteristics.
Visible trichomes can make flower look frosty.
You still cannot look at a photo and read an exact THC percentage.
Use legal product information for the number.
Use the visible flower only for what can actually be seen.
Drying, curing, packaging and storage influence finished flower.
A THC number cannot tell you whether the product has become brittle, lost aroma or been stored poorly.
Maximum potency should not be presented as the default best choice.
Higher-potency cannabis can also increase the likelihood of unwanted effects.
Adults should use the product information rather than treating the largest number as a universal score.
Kensington Green's five Weed flower categories are menu categories.
THC is product-specific regulated information.
Do not turn the categories into THC brackets.
A higher category does not guarantee one THC range.
A higher THC number does not automatically determine the category.
THC is relevant to intoxicating potency, but it still does not describe every quality characteristic.
Not automatically. Retail tiers and product THC are different pieces of information.
Yes. Products can differ in other cannabinoids, terpene profiles, format and individual response.
No. Maximum potency should not be treated as the default goal.
Use the legal product information for the specific package.
