Your Senses, Higher

Rating cannabis flower isn’t just about saying “this is good” or “this is bad.” As a true cannasseur, you have the opportunity to share detailed, helpful insights that benefit the entire community.

The Five Pillars of Cannabis Rating

1. Visual Appeal 👁️

Before you even consume, take a moment to appreciate the flower’s appearance:

• Color: Look for vibrant greens, purples, or oranges
• Trichomes: That frosty, crystalline coating indicates potency
• Structure: Dense vs. fluffy buds each have their appeal
• Trim: Quality trim job shows care in processing

2. Aroma Profile 👃

Break open that bud and let your nose do the work:

• Primary notes: Pine? Citrus? Diesel? Earthy?
• Secondary notes: What lingers after the initial smell?
• Intensity: Is it a subtle whisper or a loud announcement?

3. Taste Experience 👅

The taste should complement and expand on the aroma:

• Inhale flavors: What do you taste on the draw?
• Exhale flavors: How does it change on release?
• Aftertaste: What lingers on your palate?

4. Effects & Reliefs ✨

This is where personal experience matters most:

• Onset time: How quickly do you feel it?
• Type of high: Cerebral? Body? Balanced?
• Duration: How long do the effects last?
• Side effects: Any dry mouth, eyes, or munchies?

5. Overall Value 💰

Consider the complete package:

• Quality for price: Is it worth what you paid?
• Would you rebuy?: The ultimate test

Tips for Great Reviews

1. Be specific – “Great effects” is less helpful than “Relaxing body high that helped my back pain”
2. Be honest – Your community relies on authentic experiences
3. Be consistent – Try to evaluate all products with the same criteria
4. Be helpful – Share context (time of day, tolerance level, etc.)

Happy rating, cannasseurs! 🌿
