Glossary term
Flower: “Flower” is the common shorthand for cannabis flower. On patient sites it should be expanded and medically contextualised rather than left as slang.
Why this term matters
Patients use the term constantly in forums and clinic discussions.
UK medical cannabis context
A patient-education site should prefer “cannabis flower” and define “flower” as the common shorthand.
What not to assume
The word alone does not explain route or safe use.
Careful wording: Avoid casual lifestyle framing such as “premium flower”.
