With every type of product that you use or consume, some specific brands or types can be classified as being of premium or high quality, whereas the others can be regarded as comparatively lower quality products. In the same way, there are some weed strains that are excellent, and some that are mid-range.
The only obstacle that you have to overcome is to be able to differentiate between good and bad weed. And trust us on this one, a black market dealer will not be keen to tell you how to do that.
Even if you do end up coming across good or ‘dank’ weed, it’s highly likely that you might not be able to purchase. Dank weed can usually end up causing a huge dent in your bank account. While it’s good to splurge on weed if you have the means to, there are cheaper alternatives that one can go for. If you’re not too picky about the quality of weed and just want to relax, you can smoke ‘mids’ or ‘regs’ weed instead of dank weed.
What Does Smoking Mids Mean?
In this large and woozy world of weed, ‘mids’ is a term that is used for marijuana which has, to put it simply, mid-range quality and potency. It’s not state-of-the-art, exotic dank, but it’s not bottom-shelf low-grade weed either. With a THC content between 10% – 16%, mids are quite excellent and give a decent high, especially to new cannabis users.
Although all weed smokers will recommend dank weed, mid-grade marijuana can prove to be quite useful itself. Mids have a number of medicinal effects, and the smell, look, and taste of mids is enough to give you the psychedelic ride that you were longing for.
Some weed users might complain about how smoking mids are not strong enough for the effects to kick in. This usually happens with users who ended up developing a tolerance for weed; in such instances, it is recommended to take a break from smoking weed. Giving yourself a tolerance break will allow you to enjoy the desired effects of smoking mids.
In fact, smoking mids is recommended to newbies so that they can develop a slight tolerance to weed and get accustomed to the effects of smoking weed. Dank weed might have effects that may be too desirable, which may end up in you feeling overwhelmed, scared, or even sick. Allow yourself to take slow and steady steps in the journey of smoking weed, instead of jumping right into top-shelf weed.
Different Types of Weed
There are three main types of weed – dank, mids, and regs. Dank weed is a top-shelf, high-quality weed. Just by looking at this cannabis strain, you’ll know that it’s the good stuff; hundreds and thousands of trichomes will sparkle at you under a light when you hold up a baggie of dank weed. The effects of this weed are hard, quick, and quite desirable.
Mids, aka middle-grade weed, is a more toned-down version of dank weed. Both dank weed, and smoking mids can be used if you’re looking to kick back, relax, and get a good high. Regs, which is basically low-grade schmuck, is something that most weed smokers avoid, and try not to consume unless they have no other option.
What is ‘Regs Cannabis’?
Regs, or reggie, is low-grade bottom shelf cannabis which is generally not used by people who smoke weed frequently. This type of weed is also referred to as dirt weed, because of its low THC levels (less than 2%) along with the foul odour that it emits once it is lit up.
The dry texture of regs makes smoking up an unpleasant experience, leaving you coughing and heaving because of how harsh it is on the lungs. With that being said, it’s highly likely that you might not even experience a high when you smoke reggs unless you’re trying it for the very first time, or have an extremely low tolerance to cannabis.
The Difference Between Smoking Mids and Regs
The main difference which separates smoking mids and smoking regs from each other, is quality. Smoking mids allow you to have a nice smoke session and experience a pleasant high. On the other hand, smoking regs will definitely make you sick, with a slight high in some rare cases. The higher THC levels in mids is bound to get you a high; you just can’t count on regs to give you a high since their THC levels are less than 2%.
Which Cannabis Strains Actually Qualify As Exotic?
When it comes to cannabis, it’s relatively easy to filter out weed strains that aren’t considered to be ‘exotic’. These are usually household names such as OG Kush, Blue Dream etc. that have market relevance, but have multiple other strains that are quite similar to these strains. To put it simply, because there’s an increase in the number of such strains in the market, its exoticness goes down.
Quality genetics are what make a few specific weed strains ‘exotic’. Producers such as Jungle Boys and DNA Genetics make use of genetics and replicate them for outstanding results. Yet another thing that makes a select few cannabis strains exotic are their names – which are usually associated with food, or treats.
This is especially common in cannabis strains with a specific flavor. Specific genetics and flavors are what make cannabis strains more exclusive, which creates a high demand for them and makes them appear to be more exotic.
