Marijuana bud refers to the smokeable, trichome-covered part of the female cannabis plant. The quality of marijuana plant buds is frequently judged by aroma, color, and density of trichomes. It is common for buds of weed to be referred as nugs or cured flowers.
“I'll be your budtender for that sweet smelling marijuana bud.”
“I can tell this bud is high quality by its deep color and aroma.”
