Nug

A "nug" is a slang term in the cannabis industry referring to a small, dense, and usually tightly formed bud of cannabis flower. These buds are considered high-quality, boasting a potent concentration of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, as well as terpenes contributing to aroma and flavor. The term is commonly used both by growers and consumers to describe desirable cannabis. The size of a nug can vary, but it generally refers to a piece that's easily handled and visually distinct from smaller pieces of cannabis flower or shake. The appearance of a nug often plays a role in its perceived value and desirability, with characteristics like dense trichome coverage considered indicators of potency and quality.
