What is shake weed?

Marijuana shake comes from the same part of the weed plant as normal buds. In fact, shake is part of the buds. It’s just tiny little pieces of the buds that have fallen off over time. This could be due to handling, general bumping around through transporting, etc. Shake weed can contain any part of the bud, including sugar leaves and trichomes.

Can you buy shake weed at a budtender?

Budtenders are well aware of this, so often times they’ll have shake weed for sale at discounted prices. In fact, dispensaries often sell shake as a stand-alone product. It can be bought by the gram, eighth, quarter-ounce, or sometimes even a full ounce. If you’re on a tight budget, you could save a fair amount of money if you buy shake weed.

Why do dispensaries use shake?

The dispensary will use shake from multiple strains to fill the joint, thereby minimizing waste and maximizing profit. For some, a ‘mix-n-match’ shake joint can be a tasty treat and produce an exciting and potent high. But for those who are seeking treatment for a specific ailment, shake weed can fall short of the mark.

Should you buy shake weed or roll it?

If you’re on a tight budget, you could save a fair amount of money if you buy shake weed. A lot of dispensaries will even have shake for sale in the form of pre-rolled joints, but this can be slightly problematic – particularly for those using cannabis as a medicinal treatment.
