Cannabis shake weed may sound like an unusual product, but this term simply refers to the pieces of cannabis that falls off the bud when you’re moving your weed around and using it.
What Is Shake Weed?
Shake weed is a term used to describe the leftover plant material that remains after cannabis has been harvested, dried, and cured. Shake weed is especially common among growers who use indoor growing systems like hydroponics and soil.
The name “shake weed” comes from the fact that this leftover plant material has a tendency to shake loose from its moorings in an attempt to re-root itself. This can be problematic for growers who are trying to keep their plants free of pests and mildew, as it provides an easy way for unwanted elements to enter their garden space.
Shake weed can also contain small amounts of THC, depending on what strain you’re dealing with and its exposure level during flowering (which is when most of the compound is produced). For example, if you’re growing your plants outdoors in a hot climate, they’ll produce more THC than they would if they were grown indoors in a cooler environment.
Why The Term “Shake Weed”?
The term “shake weed” is often used in the cannabis industry to describe shake and other lower-grade material that is used to make cannabutter, edibles, or other products.
Shake is simply parts of the cannabis plant that has been removed or have fallen off from the bud during the harvesting process. The term “shake” is used to differentiate it from trimmings or buds. The amount of shake you end up with depends on how much plant material you harvest and how much of it is trimmed away.
In general, there’s more shake than trimmings because a lot of the plant material isn’t suitable for smoking or vaping, but can be made into edibles and other non-consumable products.
What Are The Benefits Of Smoking Shake Weed?
There are a few benefits of smoking shake weed:
- It’s cheap. Shake weed can be purchased for as little as $5 per gram and sometimes even less than that! If you’re on a budget, this means that you can smoke more often and still save money.
- It sometimes doesn’t smell as potent as other types of weed, so it’s harder for others to detect when you’re smoking it or have been recently smoking it. If you’re worried about getting caught by parents, teachers or other authority figures, this can be an advantage for you because they won’t have any idea if you are smoking or just smelled like pot recently because there’s no way for them to tell unless they smell it themselves or see you smoking it directly in front of them (which would be pretty obvious).
Cons Of Cannabis Shake
There are also a couple of disadvantages of cannabis shake weed:
- Shake weed is usually a mixture leftover from a bunch of different cannabis strains. Because of that, you’ll never really know what strain you’re smoking.
- Much of the time, shake weed contains stems, leaves, and other parts of the cannabis plant.
- Another disadvantage of shake weed is that it tends to try out quite fast.
Can You Smoke Marijuana Stems?
You can smoke the stems of marijuana, but it’s not recommended.
Marijuana stems are tough and fibrous, but they contain little THC or CBD.
If you have a lot of stems and not enough bud, you may want to use them in a joint or blunt. But otherwise, don’t bother smoking the stems.
Smoking marijuana stems will not get you high because they contain very little THC or CBD — the two main psychoactive compounds found in cannabis plants.
If you want to use your stems for something else, here are some ideas:
- Make tea by boiling them in water with ginger and lemon slices; this will help with nausea and stomach upset caused by chemotherapy treatment for cancer patients. You can also make tea from fresh ginger root and lemon juice to relieve nausea caused by food poisoning.
- Make potpourri by soaking your stems in hot water with essential oils such as lavender or peppermint oil; this can be used as an air freshener in your home or office.
What’s The Best Way To Consume Shake Weed?
So, what’s the best way to consume shake weed?
It all really depends on how much you want to smoke and how much you want to spend. If you are smoking with a friend or two, I would say that a vape pen is probably the best way to go.
If you are looking for a bigger hit, then you should start thinking about bongs or pipes.
There are many different types of bongs available on the market today. Some are made from glass while others are made from plastic or wood. A lot of people prefer the look of glass bongs because they tend to be more durable and less likely to break if dropped. Glass bongs will also give you a cleaner taste when compared with plastic bongs which can sometimes retain flavor from previous use. Glass bongs come in many different styles so there is something for everyone!
