What is a nug?

A nug is a small, solid lump of a valuable substance, such as gold or cannabis. In the context of gold mining, a nugget is a naturally occurring piece of native gold. Nuggets are typically found in rivers, streams, or other bodies of water where the gold has been eroded from surrounding rocks and transported downstream. Nug gold is often found in placer deposits, which are deposits of sand, gravel, and other sediments that have been formed by the action of water.

In the context of cannabis, a nug or nugget refers to the dense, resinous bud of the marijuana plant. Nugs are typically harvested from female cannabis plants and are prized for their high concentration of cannabinoids, particularly THC and CBD, which are responsible for the plant's psychoactive and medicinal effects. Nugs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, depending on the strain of cannabis they come from.

Overall, nugs are highly valued for their purity, quality, and potency, whether they are made of gold or cannabis.
