Top Tips for Affordable Cannabis in Maryland

Nov 22, 2024 | Blog, Cannabis

Enjoying affordable cannabis in Maryland doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a new enthusiast, there are plenty of ways to get the most out of your products without overspending. We have some of the best ways to find affordable cannabis in Maryland.
 

1. Buy in Bulk (When It Makes Sense)

Purchasing larger quantities, like an ounce instead of smaller increments, often comes with discounts, especially when we have our Big Bag specials (7g and up). For example, an pre-packed eighth may cost $40-$50, but a pre-packed quarter is generally priced around $65. Our house packed flower is usually even less! Purchasing by the gram or individual pre-roll can add up quickly, especially for those with higher tolerances who are purchasing more frequently.    

2. Look for Deals and Discounts

Keep an eye out for our daily deals, first-time customer specials, Flash sales, and loyalty programs. We also offer discounts for those with birthdays, veterans, and most days have something special for our medical patients. Signing up for our newsletter or our loyalty program keeps you in-the-know on our latest deals.    

3. Choose Value Strains

Premium strains might have higher potency or exotic genetics, but mid-tier options often provide comparable effects at a fraction of the cost. Don’t overlook smaller nugs or “shake” packages—they’re perfect for edibles, rolling joints, or vaporizing.   

4. Invest in Accessories That Save Product

Using high-quality accessories like vaporizers or grinders can extend the life of your cannabis. Vaporizers extract cannabinoids more efficiently, and you’re actually able to utilize the “used” cannabis when cooking edibles. Vaped cannabis is decarboxylated from the vaporizer already, so it’s ready to throw in some butter or baked goods without any complex cooking. Grinders like Stache’s Grynder have compartments for keef, allowing each nug you grind to produce finely-milled, extra potent keef. Adding bits of this to your flower means you get to feel the effects while using less product overall.   

5. Consider Edibles

Instead of purchasing 10 packs of 10 mg edibles every so often and letting the cost add up, look for edibles in higher dosages and split them up into small pieces. Medical patients can buy 40 mg edibles, and even for our low-dose crowds, 40 mg edibles split into 4 pieces means a 40 mg 10 pack becomes a 10 mg 40 pack. Not a medical patient? Consider purchasing “ratio edibles” with additional cannabinoids that can make your high much more fulfilling.  

6. Experiment with Microdosing

Lower doses can help you find the sweet spot where you experience desired effects without overconsumption. Microdosing stretches your stash and may improve your overall experience. 

7. Explore Different Formats

Concentrates like live resin, rosins, hash, budders, badders, and shatters may have a higher upfront cost but are extremely potent, meaning you’ll use less product per session. Similarly, tinctures and capsules can offer precise dosing and last longer in your system, meaning you don’t have to dose as often. 

8. Use Fresh Products Wisely

Proper storage is crucial to prevent cannabis from drying out or losing potency. Invest in airtight, UV-protected containers, and store them in a cool, dark place. Keeping your stash fresh ensures you get full value from every purchase. 

9. Consider DIY Options

Roll your own joints or pack your own pre-rolls instead of buying pre-made options. You can add concentrates to your pre-rolls and make them go even further.  

11. Don’t Overlook Shake or Trim 

Pre-ground cannabis, often referred to as “shake” or “trim,” consists of smaller buds and pieces that break off during handling and packaging. While shake is generally less potent than whole flower, it’s a budget-friendly option that shines for specific uses:

• Perfect for Edibles: Shake is ideal for making cannabutter, oils, or infusions since potency isn’t a primary concern in these preparations. 

• Great for Infused Joints: For those who enjoy infused joints, shake can be paired with concentrates to create hand-rolled options that are both flavorful and potent without wasting premium whole flower. 

• Convenient for Casual Use: Shake is pre-ground and ready to use, saving time for rolling or packing bowls, especially for those on a budget.

We offer shake or trim at a fraction of the price of whole flower, making it a versatile and economical choice for creative cannabis enthusiasts.

Looking for affordable cannabis in Maryland doesn’t mean compromising on quality or experience.
