Does the THC Percentage Reflect Strain Quality?

Although they may sound similar, THC percentage and ABV (alcohol by volume) are two very different measures of potency.

What Should I Look For?

When people come in and look for flower, they look for the highest THC percentage. But that’s one of the last markers of a quality product. Here’s what should you look for:

  • Terpene profile
  • Plant stewardship
  • Grow area/location
  • Other ingredients/parentage

A flower’s THC percentage degrades over time, solidifying after it’s dried and cured. Unlike a cocktail’s ABV (alcohol by volume), a high THC percentage won’t yield a higher potency. Ask your budtender the questions above to determine what’s going to give you a better smoke.
