Weed buds, better known as cannabis flower, are the part of the cannabis plant that you smoke. Buds have a resinous texture, and they're covered in trichomes — the parts of the plant that are full of cannabinoids like Delta-9, Delta-8, and CBD.

If you're interested in smoking weed for the first time, it's worth knowing a few basic pieces of information about buds, which we'll cover below. That way, you can make an informed decision about which strain you want to order.

How Are Weed Buds Grown and Harvested?

Weed buds come from the Cannabis Sativa plant, which is cultivated in carefully-maintained conditions. The US-based farmers that we partner with here at Mood tend to harvest the plants at the perfect time for maximum potency and flavor.

High-quality weed buds can be grown inside or outside, but their conditions and cultivation timeline are always meticulously planned. After harvest, the buds are cured and dried, which gets them ready for smoking.

What Are the Types of Weed Buds?

Cannabis buds are categorized into three main groups: Indica, Sativa, and hybrid strains.

Sativa Strains

This subtype of the cannabis plant tends to produce a more invigorating, energizing high. Sativa strains can still bring on deep relaxation and have soothing effects, but they're often used to support focus and creative stimulation.

Indica Strains

These buds have potent calming effects and are some of the best picks for PM use. Indica flower often contains high levels of cannabinoids like CBD, which add to its soothing properties.

Hybrid Strains

These cannabis buds are crossbreeds of Sativa and Indica hemp plants. They have some of the best attributes of both plants and can produce specific effects like feelings of happiness, creativity, focus, or even sexual arousal.

We're big fans of hybrid strains here at Mood, and we use these potent forms of weed buds to produce our signature moods.

Are Weed Buds Legal?

Thanks to the Farm Bill, you can legally order many hemp-derived products online and get them delivered directly to your door.

For context, the Farm Bill is a piece of legislation that changed that way cannabis products are labeled and regulated in the US.

Under this bill, weed buds are classified as legal hemp if they contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight.

All of the buds sold in the Mood Shop meet the Farm Bill's criteria for hemp and ship legally to many parts of the United States.

How To Order Weed Buds Online

The Mood Shop is the go-to source for flower and other amazing cannabis extracts.

Our shop features a wide selection of high-quality, dense buds from Indica and Sativa hybrid strains grown in Oregon, California, and Washington State. We work closely with our partner farmers to cultivate strains that promote specific moods — including creativity, social stimulation, and more.

Here's how to order weed buds online from the Mood Shop:

First: Can I Buy Weed Online in My State?

Unfortunately, we can't ship flower and other psychoactive cannabis products to every part of the US. This is because state laws surrounding cannabis use can vary.

To see whether we ship to your state, simply select your location in the top-right corner of the Mood Shop. From there, you'll get a tailored list of products that are available where you live.

Keep in mind that if you can't get buds online where you live, you may still be able to order other Mood products like gummies.

How To Pick the Right Cannabis Strain for You

All of the products in the Mood Shop, including our strains, are categorized based on mood and potency. The high-potency strains contain the highest concentration of THCa, while the mildest products are much lower in cannabinoids. All of our strains are either medium or high-potency.

Choosing the right strain for you starts with picking a potency level and a desired mood. We make this process easy — you can shop for flower based on your mood with just a few clicks in the Mood Shop.

From there, you can select a strain that's either medium or high potency in the economy, premium, or top-shelf tiers. Economy weed is the most cost-friendly, but Top-Shelf is the highest-quality and most sought-after. Any of our strains can provide an amazing high, so it all comes down to personal preference.

How To Try a Strain

If you're not sure whether a cannabis strain is right for you, we recommend ordering just 1g of flower to get started.

1g of pot is the ideal amount to roll into a joint — and it's the amount that we use in all of the pre-rolled joints that we sell in the Mood Shop.

If you're interested in experimenting with multiple different strains, fill up your cart with a few 1g bags, try each one in a separate session, and see which one appeals to you the most.
