Benefits of Buying Shake
Shake weed can provide excellent value for your money if you are getting shake from a good brand. When you purchase shake weed, you're getting most of the benefits of cannabis strain minus the high price tag. If you’re making edibles, buying shake is an inexpensive way to get a lot of THC in your butter or oil.
 
Plus, having marijuana shake handy is a great way to pack a bowl or roll a joint quickly. It is already ground down and ready to go.
 
Drawbacks of Buying Shake
Of course, there are some obvious drawbacks to only buying and smoking shake. 
 
When you buy marijuana shake, you're not getting the whole plant. This means that you're missing out on terpenes and other cannabinoids that contribute to the overall effect of the cannabis strain. 
 
Shake is often dry and because of the terpenes losing their freshness, the bud also loses its flavor and smell.
 
Another con of buying shake weed instead of whole cannabis flowers is that there are some stems within the mix which can make it burn poorly. However, if you're using a vaporizer, this isn't as much of an issue.
 
Is Shake Weed a Good Bang for Your Buck?
The reason that some people look down upon shake weed is because it's not as easy to sell or market. It can also have lower levels of THC and other cannabinoids. But, for the budget-minded smoker, shake weed is a dream come true.
 
Like anything in life, there are pros and cons to buying shake weed. For one, it's not as potent or rich in cannabinoids. Since shake weed is a little bit older and more dried out than whole buds, the THC content isn't going to be nearly what you get with fresh flower.
 
In the end, whether or not shake weed is a good bang for your buck depends on what you're looking for in cannabis and your budget. 
 
For those who are looking for a high-quality product at a lower price, shake weed is the way to go. For those who are looking for a high-potency experience, you're better off buying fresh buds instead of dried out shake weed.
