Curious about how to choose weed that packs a punch? We’ve got you. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about choosing high THC flower.

How Much THC is in Weed?

THC content can vary widely from one strain to another. If you’re looking for a high THC flower, we invite you to take your time browsing strains and learning more about the effects to create the cannabis experience that you’re looking for.

You may want to keep an eye on CBD levels when you’re looking for high THC flower. High levels of CBD are known to counteract the psychoactive effect of THC due to its calming properties.

What is Considered High THC?

Great question. Here’s how we generally break it down:

  • Low-THC strains: These strains usually have between 0.3% to 5% THC, and are often used for medical purposes or for those who want a mild high.
  • Mid-range THC strains: These strains offer a moderate level of psychoactivity and typically test at between 5% and 15% THC.
  • High-THC strains: With THC levels between 15% and 30% (or higher) these strains are strong and often sought out by customers who are looking for an intense experience.

What is a High THC Percentage in Flower?

If you choose flower with 30% THC, you’re in for a super-potent experience. If you’re not a regular user, or you already know that you have a low tolerance, you’ll want to stay clear of super-high THC strains. 

In addition to the feelings of euphoria that come with lower doses of THC, choosing a high THC flower can further enhance your focus, change your perception of time, and increase your appetite. Be careful, however, as higher THC levels can also boost paranoia and anxiety, making it tough for you to fully enjoy your experience.

What Does Higher THC Percentage Mean? Does High THC Get You Higher?

Absolutely. More THC means a higher level of psychoactivity, which leads to a stronger high. Both your mind and body high will likely feel stronger than they would with lower doses.

If you regularly use high THC flower, you may find that your tolerance quickly increases, leading you to need more THC to get your desired effect. When you’re upping your THC levels, be sure to know your limits, be in a comfortable environment, and stay hydrated.
