the juciest, stickiest, stankiest, an sexiest piece of the bud. thats not the only part u can smoke but its the best place to start. leaves, about anything on the plant can be smoked but the stems will taste like burning wood if they too thick. u probably want to smoke as little stems and roots as possible an the rest is all cool. the leaves can be smoked but it isnt pleasnt, burns ur throat a little an it burns out fast. the buds are the best.
