What are Cannabis Concentrates?
The cannabis plant undergoes a process that leaves a potent form of the good stuff. The extraction process includes removing the excess plant matter so you can have the cannabinoids and terpenes. In marijuana, THC and CBD are the two main cannabinoids. Although THC levels can vary between strains, concentrated extracts are usually highly potent and high in THC, which is the psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for giving you a euphoric high. CBD is a non-psychoactive substance known for its healing benefits. You can buy concentrates that have both THC and CBD or are CBD exclusive.
Moreover, terpenes are responsible for the aromas associated with marijuana. Keep them intact during the extraction process results in a more enjoyable experience.
Kinds of Cannabis Concentrates
The kinds of cannabis concentrates differ in terms of the specific strain used for making the concentrates, how they are made, and the form they are in. When you visit a dispensary, make sure to ask the budtender about the kind effect you are looking for so they can get you the best strain.
Below are the most popular forms of cannabis concentrates available:
- Wax. This concentrate has a consistency that is much like candle wax and some types must be handled with a dabbing tool due to their stickiness. Normally, a wax is yellowish and can be smoked out of a vaporizer or rig.
- Shatter. This concentrate features a glass-like consistency because it usually shatters into little pieces when broken apart. This concentrate can give you a hard-hitting high.
- Rosin. This concentrate is made by applying just heat and pressure to the marijuana buds, trim, or kief to remove the plant resin. It contains a lot of the aromas and terpenes present in the plant. This makes it a favorite choice among those who love terpenes.
- Oil. This concentrate is produced with CO2 instead of butane. It features a runny and thick consistency. Oil is found in the strictly CBD variety and often used for making edibles.
