Kief provides a powerful high. While most flowers contain 12-25% THC, kief typically tests at around 50%. Some purer forms of kief can even reach upwards of 80% THC!

Does kief get you higher than Bud?

How strong is it? Simply put, smoking kief gives a much stronger effect than regular cannabis flowers. Rather than sitting somewhere between 12% and 25% THC, kief (depending on purity) can be up to 70% THC -- this means that you get a much stronger effect from less material smoked.

Why does Keef get you so high?

Trichomes are actually the main producers of cannabinoids — which is what THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are — and terpenes, which gives cannabis its distinct earthy aroma. When collected, kief is basically a concentrated form of cannabis, which makes for a more powerful high, according to Leafly.
