Top Cannabis High THC Strains
It was once that anything above 15% was "high". With today's advanced breeding techniques, it is now typical for strains to be classified as "High THC" based on their THC content level being in excess of 25-35%. Potencies greater than 30% are typically found only in "elite tier" products for those who have been using cannabis for an extended period of time.
Although it is primarily the THC that drives the effects of smoking marijuana, there are many different types of terpenes and minor cannabinoids that will determine whether the high is a couch-locking type high, or an energizing type of high.
For beginners, yes; High THC strains may produce a "green out" due to the speed at which the THC begins affecting you along with how intense the high feels. As such, to prevent a green out, we suggest using the "one hit and quit" method; smoke one inhale, and then sit back for 20 minutes before assessing your current state of mind.
Yes. There is a large difference between High THC Flower and High THC Concentrate. The peak THC levels associated with top shelf flower ranges approximately from 35%, while concentrates, such as wax, shatter, live resin, can have THC levels ranging anywhere from 70-90%! Concentrates deliver a much faster and cleaner "hit" in comparison to the longer build-up and complexity of flavors provided by flower.
If you are changing to a High THC Strain from a standard 15% strain, you would ideally want to cut your normal usage amount in half. Additionally, utilizing a High Quality Dry Herb Vaporizer allows for optimal temperature control to effectively extract the THC contained within the product, and also prevents you from burning through the material too rapidly.
