Frequently asked questions
What are the greens on a bowl?
They are the fresh, unlit cannabis on the surface of a freshly packed bowl, and by extension the prized first hit taken from it.
Who gets the greens?
By smoking etiquette, whoever packs the bowl usually earns the greens, the tastiest first hit before the weed is charred.
Why are the greens the best hit?
The first hit burns fresh, unburnt flower, so it is smoother and more flavorful than the ash-tinged hits that follow.
