Rare cultivars are highly valued for their distinctive terpene profiles and meticulously selected traits, achieved through pheno-hunting, a process that can take breeders anywhere from nine months to several years. This dedication sets these cultivars apart, often earning them the title of “Exotics.”

During the grey market era, cannabis quality was often categorized using a simple but widely recognized rating system: dubs (AA), trips (AAA), and quads (AAAA). This grading system emerged as an informal yet effective way to standardize and communicate quality among growers, sellers, and consumers in the absence of formal regulations.

• Dubs (AA)represented entry-level cannabis, often with lower potency, less appealing appearance, and fewer terpenes.
• Trips (AAA)signified mid-grade flower with better potency, flavor, and overall structure.
• Quads (AAAA)were the pinnacle of quality, known for their exceptional potency, rich terpene profiles, and perfect bud structure—dense, frosty, and highly aromatic.

This system became deeply embedded in cannabis culture because it provided a straightforward, universal benchmark for quality. For decades, it enabled connoisseurs and buyers to quickly assess the value of a product in an unregulated market. Quads, in particular, earned a legendary reputation as the gold standard, setting the bar for premium cannabis long before legalization brought more formal grading and testing protocols.

Choosing organic cannabis is crucial because it is cultivated using sustainable, chemical-free farming practices. Organic growers avoid synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, relying instead on natural methods to manage pests, nourish the soil, and promote plant health. This not only benefits the environment but also ensures a cleaner, purer product for consumers.

When it comes to cannabis, the method of consumption—especially inhalation—makes organic cultivation particularly important. Unlike food, which is processed through the digestive system where toxins are filtered, inhaled substances enter the lungs and bloodstream almost immediately. Residues from synthetic chemicals or improperly applied pesticides can pose significant health risks, especially for medicinal users or those consuming cannabis regularly.

In Canada, while Health Canada regulates which pesticides and products are legally permitted for cannabis cultivation, there are still questionable inputs that, although approved, may raise health concerns when combusted or vaporized. These include:

• Pyrethrins: A naturally derived pesticide that, while less harmful than synthetics, can still cause respiratory irritation when inhaled in large amounts.
• Sulfur-based products: Often used to combat mold and mildew, these can produce sulfur dioxideor other harmful byproducts when burned.
• Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach-based Solutions: Used in cleaning or treating plants; improper application can leave harmful residues.

Choosing organic cannabis eliminates exposure to these substances, providing a safer, cleaner experience. For health-conscious consumers, particularly those inhaling cannabis, organic products offer peace of mind by prioritizing both product quality and long-term health.
