How to Shop Smart on 4/20 in Michigan
If this is your first 4/20 celebration or your first time shopping at a dispensary for 4/20, there are a few things you’ll need to know beforehand. To shop smart on 4/20 Michigan cannabis community, here are some quick tips for both new and seasoned shoppers:
- Shake vs. whole flower: When purchasing flower, be aware there are different types of “buds” you’ll be shopping for. Shake represents the leftover material at the bottom of the bag that isn’t in “bud” or “nug” form. Whole flower represents these buds or nugs – the type you’d break up for a joint or bowl. Another thing to keep in mind is there is now deli-style flower (you select the buds you want) and pre-packaged amounts that are packed directly by the cultivator.
- Infused vs. traditional products: As for flower products, like pre-rolls, you’ll also notice some products will be classified as “infused” while others are. Infused products, such as infused pre-rolls, contain some type of concentrate in addition to flower. For instance, infused pre-rolls or blunts will contain kief, rosin, live resin, or a combination of multiple concentrates, increasing the products’ overall potency.
- Top-tier brands vs. budget lines: Like with any product or industry, you’ll also find top-tier brands and budget lines. In fact, some brands will even offer a “budget brand” within their collection, offering the same quality at a lower price. To best decipher which brand is top-tier or budget, first look at prices and always ask your friendly budtender to confirm.
- General purchasing: For cannabis, it’s not like walking into a liquor store to pick out your favorite bottles, spirits, wines, and beers. There’s a 2.5-ounce daily limit you must adhere to, which also limits concentrate purchases to 15g daily. While some dispensaries now offer card payments, most accept cash only and often provide an ATM on-site if you need to withdraw. Lastly, be sure to have your non-expired, current state or federal ID to complete your purchase.
Best 4/20 Cannabis Products For Flavor, Potency, Quality
Still need help finding the best 4/20 cannabis products for flavor, potency, and quality? That’s what our 4/20 guide is here for! To help you select products for this year’s high holiday, here are some of our most popular products for beginners and connoisseurs.
Pre-Rolls
Nothing says “stoner holiday” like a good old-fashioned joint or pre-roll. So, if you’re looking for a nostalgic take this 4/20, we suggest seeking the best pre-roll joints! Remember, there will be infused varieties and regular varieties available at dispensaries, so choose wisely, depending on your tolerance.
For infused pre-rolls, it doesn’t get better than Hyman Eclairs, which even have a sweet treat of a name. These pre-rolls are filled (like a donut!) with premium, solventless rosin for a clean and elevated (highly potent!) experience. If you’d rather go the traditional route, pick up a pack of Higgs to puff, puff, pass all day long, or grab a singular pre-roll from Light Sky Farms, who never disappoints!
Flower
Again, nothing says 4/20 like skunky, funky, and aromatic flower. If you can partake, explore various strains to elevate the mood from morning to night. Pick a sativa variety for your holiday wake-and-bake session, a hybrid for all-day hits, and an indica to kick back, relax, and unwind in the evening.
Edibles
Want to keep the party going all day but won’t have the time to sneak away for a sesh (thanks alot, Easter!)…then edibles are the 4/20 Michigan cannabis product to pick up this holiday! Edibles offer a longer-than-usual buzz, lasting anywhere from four to eight hours depending on individual tolerance, potency, and other physiological traits (such as weight, metabolism, etc.).
Pick up a pack of gummies in the flavor of your liking to sneak a sweet treat throughout the day, or shop select hash rosin gummies for a solvent-free and clean edible experience. Of course, some of the best THC edibles are chocolates, baked goods, and even hard candies, which will be readily available for purchase on the 4/20 holiday.
Vapes
Another way to be discreet throughout the day, are vapes. Either vape cartridges (attached to a 510-thread compatible battery) or disposable vapes are a convenient and potent way to consume for the holiday. Remember, there will be some aroma that lingers with the smoke (especially when selecting live resin, or rosin products) but the devices are sure to keep your mind elevated to celebrate.
Concentrates
Dabs are the future of 4/20 and deserve more celebration than just 7/10 (Oil Day, for those who don’t know!). So get your Puffco Peak or rig ready, to go all day, for the holiday! That requires product, of course, so one of the most cost-effective options would be “baller buckets” or large 2.5 g or 5 g products, available from popular concentrate brands like The Limit, and others.
Limited Edition 4/20 Drops & Specials
For 4/20, you’ll often find limited edition drops and specials to take advantage of. These will vary from dispensary to dispensary, brand to brand, location to location. And, often, you’ll have to stop by in person to get the best savings or to score the current deals. Many Michigan dispensary 420 deals aren’t advertised online or in print, but they are available to consumers who hit the road seeking special products or flavor drops.
