Top shelf bud is weed that has been hand-chosen by the head buyer of any given dispensary. These employees are well-trained in their various strains, and they know what to look for when deciding which buds should be considered top shelf. Of course, there is no set definition as to what “top shelf” actually means, so dispensaries can differ in their opinions of this term. It does not mean only the most expensive buds on the market – a cheaper strain with a high THC percentage could still be considered top shelf if it was selected by one of the buyers at your local dispensary. However, it will more often than not mean above average quality weed – usually with a THC percentage of 18% or higher – that you would pay a premium for. Some dispensaries may even consider their “top shelf” to be the product in which they sell the most of (such as OG Kush), regardless of THC percentage or bud quality, simply because it is what customers keep buying.

What are the different types of top shelf bud? There are three basic categories into which “top shelf” can fall: Indica dominant strains Sativa dominant strains Hybrid strains Each type comes with its own pros and cons, but ultimately finding any strain you enjoy is the most important thing.

British Columbia has a climate that makes growing cannabis extremely easy. This, paired with the fact that it is also one of the most densely populated regions in Canada, means many growers have chosen this area as their home. British Columbia produces so much weed that it has even become well-known for exporting its product to other provinces, namely Ontario and Quebec . The best quality bud will often come from Northern BC, which boasts some of the largest marijuana farms in North America. The Herb Centre sources a lot of its products from BC growers. Their connection is what allows them to offer some of the most potent strains in Canada at the best prices.
