Flower vs. Oil

Greetings Steemers and Stoners!

I wanted this next post to be about a debate that will probably never end in the Cannabis Community.

What do you prefer or enjoy to medicate with more? Cannabis in it's flower form, or some kind of extraction such as Hash, BHO (Butane Hash Oil), Solventless Oil, etc.. ?

Personally I have been on semi both sides of this coin, as when quality clean BHO and solventless started to appear in my area, I would have probably tipped my hat to the oil side slightly. I have had some of the cleanest BHO around and made some of my own rosin as well as enjoyed others' solventless. When clean, (notice a theme here;) (unpurged bho is poison!) BHO's THC content can be astronomically higher than that of it's flower counterpart and it should also have a similar taste profile. That being said even though that may be true, there is something about loading up a bowl of some fresh greens, that I will never be able to compare too.

As of this writing and the last year or so I have gone back to flower almost exclusively as when it comes down to it, the taste is just too good to leave for too long.

Of course everyone's taste buds are different and for me, I'm picky with my flower as I prefer true OG strains and other various indicas. I don't really care for the taste of Sativa's, although in oil for I never had that problem and the taste was more acceptable to me. Not sure why that is but weird how things work!

Be sure to share what you prefer in the comments below! Hope you guys like the photos too!

I Grow Super Clean Cannabis

and, so far, there doesn't happen to be an extraction process which fully preserves the terpene profile from flowers.

Once You've Had Truly Awesomely Clean Cannabis

you'll always be looking to pack a bowl of flowers, right after multiple dabs. There truly isn't anything like it.

That Being Said, I Understand the Extract Fad

because the majority of the cannabis being grown is just disgusting quality. People hand me the best, of the best of the best they can find/grow and it's nothing like the quality I can produce.

Growers have handed me clones of strains they're familiar with and when I hand them flowers from it, they don't even recognize it as what they're also growing. Substantially higher quality in terpene and cannabinoid expression, with extremely low contamination levels.

The smoke is soft, cool in temperature, packed with aroma and flavor and doesn't have any more than a tiny hint of "burnt plant" flavor to it. A lot of people are unable to detect that low of a taste level. grin It tastes like smoking very clean hash. ;)

Yes, when the generally available cannabis quality goes up you're going to see a reduction in dabbing/vaping extracts. :)

Talk about breaking it down! Thank you so much for your input! Cheers and Happy Tokes!

My Pleasure

the sooner everyone is aware, the better the quality will be overall. :)

As a daily smoker I can see the need for a stronger, longer lasting smoke. By using concentrates you achieve just that. I myself can't really purchase dabs regularly but I imagine once I can I'll use them more frequently. But as an old school stoner I don't think I'll ever cut out flower completely. Something just so nice about a joint after a long day.

I personally prefer good concentrate because it is more effective, lasts longer, takes less time, & is more healthy because you're not smoking plant matter, but I still have a lot of love for high quality flowers! I think people that act "too good" for flower need to get off their high horse & people that say bad things about concentrates need to educate themselves. Beautiful flower pic by the way! Upvoted=]

Well said! Lol yeah I definitely know what you mean about the oil snobs that act like theyre too good for flower and to that I say more for me and others! Thanks I'll definitely be sharing a ton of my photos from my personal library! :) Cheers and Happy Fades!
