Testing cannabis products is not for the faint of heart. You will actually smoke the joints as if you are eating a dessert. If you wish to be a cannabis connoisseur, you have to give more than just a casual description.
Visual Appraisal
Observe the colors and shapes of cannabis. For a better look, you can use a 60-times magnifying mini-microscope. Check out the trichomes’ colors and the shape of the stalks to determine whether the cannabis is handled well or not.
Fragrance Assessment
By pinching the bud, inhale the fragrance deeply and take some reference for comparison. Inspect for discoloration or mold in the interior.
Listening Party
In large tasting events, don’t influence other’s judgment on the flavor. The aroma can spread the room, and later on, you will find it more than it was earlier.
Grind Time
Grind the bud carefully for preparation to be rolled in a joint.
Cure Assessment Upon Rolling Paper
Roll the ground bud on high-quality rolling paper. As you do, take a final assessment if the curing makes the product dry, sticky, damp, or greasy.
Flavor Savoring
Take a big puff of the unlit joint and savor the flavor.
Smoking Test
Light it up, smoke the joint, and exhale slowly. Check its effect on your lungs, mouth, and nose. Also, check the ash’s color. If it is fine white, it is pure, but if it is black, it indicates the presence of contaminants.
Feeling The Hit
As you enjoy the hit, take note of your physical reactions. Then, describe your metaphysical stimulation.
