AAA

AAA (or 'triple A') is a quality-tier rating one notch below AAAA in Canadian/grading-influenced cannabis vernacular. AAA flower is solid mid-to-upper-tier — well-grown, well-cured, decent bag appeal — but not the elite top-shelf that AAAA designates. Useful as a more granular rating than just 'top-shelf' or 'mid'.

Example: Solid AAA cut, not quite AAAA but well above mid.

Etymology: Borrowed from Canadian regulated-market grading, which uses A through AAAA.
