There is no scientific evidence that purple buds are more potent than other colors. There are likely a variety of reasons why people may think this: because purple buds have a darker color, they may seem more powerful or intense; because purple flowers are rarer, they might be thought to have greater medicinal value; and because some people believe that specific colors produce different effects on the body, purple might be perceived as having additional benefits. However, there is no concrete evidence that these perceptions actually correspond to reality.
