Flower

Cannabis flowers or buds are an extremely important, and potent, part of the cannabis plant that contains a lot of cannabinoids. In the UK, dried cannabis flower can be prescribed as a medical cannabis treatment.

Cannabis flowers, colloquially known as buds, are found on female cannabis plants. Covered in trichomes, which contain high quantities of cannabinoids, flowers- or buds- are dried and then ground up to produce flos, also known as granulate, which can then be smoked or vaped.
