Weed Shakes at Weed Wonderland — Smart Cannabis for the Practical Consumer

Just because you don’t need to spend big money on the "best" buds, does not mean you cannot get quality cannabis. Sometimes you will want to get the best bang for your buck and still maintain high quality product. That is when shake comes in, and that is when people begin to misunderstand it.

Take a look at the other Weed Wonderland weed products too and discover even more standout options.

What is Weed Shake?

Shake is basically all of the loose cannabis material that remains in a storage container or bag after the whole buds have been removed. Because of handling, packaging and movement of the flower, little pieces of bud, a couple of leaves and a lot of trichomes fall off of the main bud pieces.

The end result is a very broken down cannabis material that is literally the same plant but in a different form. Good quality shake from good flower is still good cannabis. The keyword being "good," as to why quality is so important and why you want to make sure you are buying from a reputable company.

At Weed Wonderland, our shake is taken directly from the same batch of flower that we sell whole. The same strains, grower, lab tested. What you are getting is the contents of the bag, not just the leftovers no body else wants.

Shake vs. Trim vs. Schwag — Know the Difference

There are many times when these three words are used inter-changeable online, and they should never be. Below is how they differ.

So when you buy shake from Weed Wonderland, you are getting the first category. All of our shake contains actual bud pieces — NOT trim, leaves or plant stems.

Why Buy Shake? The Real Advantages

Shake has gotten itself a bad name for something it really did not earn. Here are reasons experienced cannabis users purchase shake.

• Cost-effective — shake is normally cheaper then whole flower from the same batch. You are paying less for the same amount of cannabinoids and terpenes in a different form
• Ready to roll — shake is already ground. No grinder required. Roll it, smoke it or cook with it right from the bag
• Perfect for joint smoking — shake is consistent enough for a good joint/butt. Easy airflow, even burn, consistent burning time
• Best for cooking and extracts — Do you make cannabutter, cannabis oil or tincture? Using shake makes it easier to do this and it costs less per gram
• Heavy users — If you consume large amounts of cannabis regularly, using shake allows you to buy more for your budget without having to drop to lower quality flower

Things To Look For When Buying High-Quality Shake

Not all shakes are created equal. Here is how to determine if the shake you are looking at is good quality:

• Trichomes — Shake should have a frosted/semi-sticky look to it. These are the places where cannabinoids and terpenes reside.
• Smell — Shake from a good strain will smell like that strain. If it smells like nothing or smells like hay/old tobacco, the terps have degraded
• Stems — Most shakes will contain some small stem fragments; however, a bag full of nothing but sticks is unacceptable
• Seeds — Seeded cannabis indicates poor growing techniques. Our shake is seedless
• Lab Tested — Always. THC percentages, Terpene Data and Contaminants Testing applies to our shake just like it does to our whole flower
• Source — Single-strain shakes are better than mixed shakes if you want predictable results

Using Weed Shake

One of the largest advantages of shake is its ability to adapt to various uses:

• Rolling Joints & Blunts — This is probably the easiest way to use shake. The consistency of shake will allow it to roll easy and burn nice and smooth. Many veterans swear by this over grinding their own buds.
• Bowl/Pipe Filling — Works well too; however, due to its smaller consistency, it may pass through screens a bit quicker. A small screen or glass bong will help prevent this.
• Vaping — Shake will work in most dry herb vaporizers. Due to its consistency, it may provide better heating properties than larger chunked bud.
• Edibles/Cannabis Recipes — Possibly the best use case. Decarb your shake, add it to butter/oil and now you have the base for any cannabis recipe. The cost saving here is huge.
• Making Hash/Kief — Shake heavy in trichomes can be used for basic extractions. Sift your trichomes through a fine mesh screen or use a pollen press with them.

Single-Strain vs. Mixed Shake

Both options are available on our website and it’s helpful to understand the differences:

• Single-Strain Shake — Shake made from 1 cultivar only. Your flavor/strain will be known and predictable. This is recommended if you have a favorite strain or if consistency matters to you.
• Mixed-Shake Shake — Contains fragments from 2+ strains/batches. Typically priced lower than single-strains and recommended for those that value potency/value rather than a specific terpene profile/effect. Some consumers actually enjoy the unknown factor.

Storage Tips for Shake

Because shake has more surface area exposed than whole buds, it can dry out faster. A few simple steps keep it in good condition:

• Store in an airtight glass jar — not a plastic bag, which allows moisture exchange and can create static that pulls trichomes off the material
• Maintain 55–62% relative humidity with a small humidity pack inside the jar
• Keep away from light and heat — both degrade THC and terpenes faster in broken-down material
• Use within a reasonable timeframe — shake at its freshest is shake at its best. Don't let it sit for months
