Let's take a look at 9 must-try eighths for California visitors shall we?

Eighths are the quintessential measurement for whole cannabis flower used by dispensaries and delivery services. The term “eighth” refers to an eighth of an ounce, which comes out to 3.54356033875.

Cannabis retailers just round down to 3.5 grams per an eighth of cannabis or hemp flower. They’re the perfect amount to roll a couple of blunts, a few joints, or many bowls. If you’re a California resident or visitor, here are some of the best eighths you can buy in the state.

1. Henry’s Original

Mendocino County is part of California’s famed Emerald Triangle, known for a long history of cannabis cultivation. Henry’s Original grow all-natural outdoor cannabis flower on rich and fertile soil. Their small-batch and family-run marijuana farms harness the power of the sun to produce popular eighths of strains such as Banana Cookies, Blackberry Sour, CBD Coast 2:1, CBD Ritual 20:1, and Sour Amnesia among many more.

2. Canndescent

Canndescent has dominated the California market with its luxury products featuring sleek packaging and accessible options for first-timers. Consumers are able to choose from five signature effects: Cruise, Connect, Charge, Create, and Calm.

Canndescent allows anyone to simply answer the question, “how do you want to feel?” They’re also committed to environmental sustainability. Canndescent is the first to set up a commercial-scale indoor hydroponic cultivation run by solar power.

3. Lowell Herb Co

Lowell Herb Co recently made history by opening up the country’s first cannabis restaurant/cafe in West Hollywood. Before the restaurant, they had already been a major player with products in 350 stores and one of the best-selling pre-roll companies in the state.

Lowell Herb Co offers consumers an organically-grown flower at an affordable price. Lowell’s eighths are the perfect buds for rolling a joint or packing a bowl. Consumers can enjoy a variety of strains in eighths including White Mango and Chocolate Truffle.
