Читать книгу Marijuana Smoker's Guidebook - Matt Mernagh - Страница 8

If your buds are crushed and crammed into a small baggy, then they’re not going to be great. Plastics degrade cannabis. Static cling in the baggy can pull precious trichomes off the buds and on to the plastic walls of your baggies. A sticky bag is terrible news for a smoker, because by the time you get at the bud, all that ganja goodness has gone to waste. To avoid this, keep your buds in a small glass jar that seals in the pot’s freshness.

Marijuana doesn’t naturally come compressed in bricks, nor is it crumbly or broken up in pieces. Buds should be attractive to the point of being pornographic to potheads. Your first thoughts when encountering stellar weed should be, “I can’t wait to roll you up and toke you all night long.”

Great ganja is gorgeous because its trichomes sparkle. The red, green and sometimes purple hues are majestic and the leafy material has been properly manicured. Properly cured buds are dense, firm and, most importantly, easy to grind. Once ground, all that remains is a sweet, sticky, and resinous mound of marijuana.

Besides being pretty, stellar nugs have a noticeable stink. Some will have a more noticeable stench than others, but all should have a smell. When busted, each particular marijuana strain’s unique aroma will become very noticeable. I’ve had some strains that, after getting busted, released a smell that made my mouth water.
