“Regs”, short for “regular”, is a slang term in the cannabis community used to describe marijuana that is of average or low quality. This type of cannabis is typically less potent and has fewer trichomes compared to higher-quality strains like those referred to as “top-shelf” or “premium.” Regs may also be less carefully cultivated, harvested, or cured, which can affect its flavor, aroma, and overall smoking experience.
While not as potent or flavorful as more premium varieties, regs are often appreciated for their affordability and accessibility, making them a viable option for casual use or for those on a budget. This category of cannabis might contain more seeds and stems than higher-grade products and generally offers a milder effect.
