If you are shopping for cannabis flower in Canada, the first choice is usually indica, sativa or hybrid. This guide explains the difference, how to read flower grades like AAAA and AAA, what THC numbers mean, and how to buy flower online with fast, discreet delivery.
Indica vs sativa vs hybrid
Indica, sativa and hybrid describe the general character of a strain and the experience most users report from it. Individual results vary from person to person, but these categories are a useful starting point.
| Type | Commonly reported feel | Best time of day |
|---|---|---|
| Indica | Relaxing, body-focused, calming | Evening and night |
| Sativa | Uplifting, energetic, head-focused | Daytime |
| Hybrid | A balance of both, depending on the strain | Any time |
What do AAAA and AAA grades mean?
Canadian flower is often graded on an A to AAAA scale. Higher grades indicate better appearance, aroma, trim and potency:
- AAAA — top-shelf, premium flower.
- AAA+ / AAA — high-quality everyday flower.
- AA — solid value flower.
- Milled / shake — ready-ground flower, ideal for rolling and pre-rolls.
What does the THC percentage mean?
THC is the main compound responsible for cannabis potency. Most flower at Native Discount Smokes tests between roughly 20% and 34% THC. Higher THC generally means a stronger effect, so newer users may prefer to start lower and go slow. Every product listing shows the strain type, grade and THC range.
Buying flower by weight
Flower is sold by weight, usually from 1 gram up to an ounce (28 grams). Buying larger weights typically lowers the price per gram. If you would rather skip grinding and rolling, ready-made pre-rolls are a convenient option.
