What are Cannabis Concentrates?

The term “concentrates’ ‘ is more of a scientific terminology , whereas the slang word dabbing, dabz, is commonly used. Concentrations can be all types of textures, flavors, potencies, and consistencies depending on the heat and pressure process used to create them. Because there are so many types, they all have different names. Wax, oil, shatter, crumble, hash, and many more. They all generally are consumed the same exact way.   In this blog, we’ll explain each type and how they are processed and what really makes them different from each other.

What is a cannabis concentrate?

A cannabis concentrate is a highly potent product derived from the cannabis plant.  It contains all of the terpenes and cannabinoids such as CBD or THC.  These extracts are created by extracting the cannabinoids by use of solvents, heat, pressure or other methods.   The number one reason of using concentrates is that you only need to use a small amount to get the desired effects of cannabis because of its potency.  Concentrates and extracts can come in potencies up to 99% THC or CBD.  With that being said, there are some cautions to keep in mind.   Just like with any other cannabis product, it is important to understand how you are using it and to know the effects. 

These concentrates can help you with a variety of conditions, including: medical treatments, mental health treatments, and physical health treatments.  Cannabis concentrate can be used with a dab rig or wax pen, used to top be added in a joint, used with a vaporizer, bong or pipe.   

Most common types of concentrates

 A few well-known forms of Cannabis Concentrate are:

• Kief: Kief is a byproduct of grinding cannabis buds and has a soft powdery consistency. A perfect addition to bowls or joints, and wonderfully potent.
• Hash/Hashish: Made by pressing kief into a disc or a ball and had a darker color and more flowery taste. Hash is one of the oldest ways humans have been concentrating cannabis buds for hundreds of years!
• Ice Hash/Bubble Hash: Flower is filtered through iced cheesecloth to freeze the trichomes, creating a bubble hash. Bubble hash can be a fine sand-like texture, almost like kief.
• Hash Rosin: Hash Rosin is normally extremely potent in terpenes and one of the higher-priced dabs on the current market. Made by using a combination of heat and pressure.
• Sap: Soft and oozy, but not as runny.
• Sugar Sauce: Sticky and generally thicker than any liquids. Small, and crystal-like cannabis concentrate.
• Wax: One of the most common forms of concentrate available on the market, wax is solid, but soft and pliable.
• Crumble: a bit harder than wax, crumble easily breaks apart when handled.
• Honeycomb: As the name suggests, it is soft but brittle and looks like a honeycomb.
• Budder: A whipped, highly pure, and rare form of concentrate, budder has the smooth consistency of butter.
• Shatter: Shatter takes on the consistency of glass with a creamy, translucent and brittle. Next to wax, this one is commonly available and popular.
• Live Resin: This happens when manufacturers flash-freeze cannabis plants after they are harvested, rather than curing them.
