When faced with a bunch of jars full of medicine, I focus specifically on the trichromes. A close examination will provide not only an indication of potency, but also clues as to how the marijuana has been (mis)handled. I use a 10x loupe , which works very well. I mostly ignore the genetics and look for pampered pot. I will generally still purchase medicine with some missing trichrome heads, if the trichrome density is high enough and there are no other flaws.
HighPopalorum Reviewed by HighPopalorum on . What Qualifies as "Top Shelf" Medical Marijuana? Starter09 brought this up in the CO Disp Reviews Thread and suggested someone make this thread. This might help some of us who are aspiring bud snobs to become better shoppers. I'd attempt to answer this question but I'm off to the grocery store. Feel free to chime in! Rating: 5
