What are cannabis concentrates?
Cannabis concentrates are highly potent forms of cannabis that have been processed to extract and concentrate the desired compounds, such as cannabinoids and terpenes.
How are cannabis concentrates made?
Cannabis concentrates are made through various extraction methods, each of which involves separating the desired compounds from the plant material to create a concentrated form.
What are main types of cannabis concentrates?
Some common forms of cannabis concentrates include:
- Hash: Hash concentrate is one of the most popular and oldest forms of cannabis concentrate. It is made by separating the trichomes from the plant material and then compressing them into a solid or semi-solid form. Hash can range in texture from soft and pliable to hard and brittle.
- Shatter: Shatter is a translucent and brittle concentrate that resembles glass. It is created by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes using solvents, such as butane or propane. Shatter has a high THC content and is typically vaporized or dabbed.
- Wax: Wax is a softer and more malleable concentrate compared to shatter. It has a sticky, wax-like consistency and is often referred to as budder or crumble. Wax is produced through a similar extraction process as shatter but with additional agitation during purging.
- THC Oil: Cannabis oil is a liquid concentrate that is commonly used for vaporizing or as an ingredient in edibles weed. It is made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes using solvents or other extraction methods. Cannabis oil can vary in consistency from thick and viscous to more runny and fluid.
- Live resin: Live resin is a type of cannabis concentrate made from freshly harvested cannabis plants that are flash-frozen to preserve the terpene profile. This process helps retain more of the original flavors and aromas of the plant, resulting in a highly aromatic and flavorful concentrate.
Are concentrates for beginners?
Due to their high potency, concentrates are typically recommended for more experienced cannabis users. Beginners are advised to start with lower-potency products, such as flower, before venturing into concentrates. It’s important to understand your tolerance and start with smaller doses to start.
Can concentrates be mixed with other cannabis products?
Yes, concentrates can be mixed with other cannabis products, such as flower, to enhance their potency and effects. This is often referred to as ‘twaxing’ or ‘dipping.’ However, it’s important to know that this may significantly increase the potency, so it’s advisable to proceed with caution.
