Concentrates

What are Cannabis Concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates are exactly what they sound like – a concentrated version of the cannabis you enjoy. To make concentrates, the cannabis flower is put through a specific extraction process. Desirable cannabinoids and terpenes are saved, while excess plant matter is removed. 

Cannabinoids and terpenes interact with receptors in your body to get the desired effects of cannabis. They’re also responsible for aroma and flavors.

The result of extraction is a pure sticky substance, high in THC, that can be used in a variety of ways and in different textures. Concentrates allow you to experience the best parts of the cannabis plant without any unnecessary extras. 

How to Use Cannabis Concentrates

The most common method of consuming cannabis concentrates is through inhalation using vaporizers, dabs, and bowls. You can also consume concentrates on their own, add them to joints to increase potency, or use them in making edibles (like chocolate). 

Important: consider how much THC you’d be intaking when adding concentrates to other products. 

Popular Types of Cannabis Concentrates

Different types of cannabis concentrates can serve different purposes. You can use them in different ways, and you may need specific accessories. 

Popular types of concentrates include:

• Shatter: Brittle texture like glass 
• Wax: Softer and sticky to touch
• Badder: Has a texture like cake batter
• Sauce: Sticky liquid texture
• Diamond: Crystalline 
• Crumble: Falls apart or “crumbles”
• Sugar: Resembles wet table sugar

How Strong Are Cannabis Concentrates?

Potency varies by strain and type. In their reduced form, some cannabis concentrates may contain THC levels as high as 50-90%. 

In comparison, the THC content of traditional cannabis flower is 10-25% THC. The psychological and physical effects of concentrates are likely to be more intense than other methods of intake.
