We’re here to help and define what this underrated weed shelf consists of.
In a hurry? Jump ahead to see our top 6 Mids Cannabis Brands:
What Are ‘Mids’ Shelf Products?
Mids refers to mid-grade weed. It’s good quality, but it’s not the dank stuff. And it most definitely is not the dried out stem riddled schwag you smoked when you didn’t know better. The reason we’re talking about mids now and why there is an ever growing demand for them in California especially, is because the cost of top shelf weed is reaching astronomical heights. Mids can relatively be underwhelming with THC levels ranging from 5% to 20%. The nugs may not be the prettiest and smoke the smoothest but it is still good quality weed.
Are ‘Mids’ Good or Bad?
Whether mids are right for you or not is relative to your tolerance. Mids are great for people new to cannabis. They are also great for social occasions and outdoor activities. Unless you are Snoop Dogg, you don’t want to roll up to a party with your expensive top shelf stuff. Mids are a great choice for those times when smoking is more about the social aspect and less about the high itself.
Mids can still be quite tasty and sometimes you can find those fire strains that hit just right for you without breaking the bank. In layman terms, you could be buying mids for $25 dollars an eighth that almost packs the same punch as that $90 top shelf stuff others are buying. This means more money in the bank and more dank (weed) to go around.
