We remove the shake from our premium THC-A flower so you get premium nugs only. THC-A levels of shake are generally the same or even higher than the flower because as the buds rustle around in the packing process, little crumbs and trichomes (which contain the THC-A) fall off the bud. Shake contains all the plant material and usually an extra amount of trichomes than regular bud. The downside of shake is that it will dry faster than regular bud because more surface area is exposed to air. But if you are rolling joints or smoking bong bowls, you break down the flower anyway.
