What are smalls, and are they worth it?

Smalls are the smaller buds sorted from the same harvest as the photogenic A-buds — same plant, same chemistry, 20–40% less per gram. For anyone grinding flower anyway (which is most vaporizer users), they are the market’s best value and we recommend them without embarrassment. The honest caveats: expect less visual appeal, slightly more variation, and check owner consensus on whether a vendor’s "smalls" bag is genuinely small buds or a home for shake and larf. The COA answers the potency question either way — which is the question that matters.
