When you’re ready to take your cannabis journey to the next level, concentrates are the way to go. Concentrates are highly potent cannabis extracts. They come in various forms, like wax, shatter, live resin, and rosin. These are typically for more experienced users due to their high potency.
Concentrates offer a pure and potent cannabis experience, often highlighting the unique terpene profiles of different strains. They can be consumed using specialized devices like dab rigs or added to flower for an extra kick.
Cannabis concentrates can be divided into two major groups: Solvent-Based Concentrates and Solventless Concentrates.
Some concentrates are made using solvents like butane, propane, ethanol, or CO₂ to extract cannabinoids and terpenes.
A translucent, glass-like extract that breaks easily when handled. It’s prized for its purity and potency, delivering a clean, powerful high when dabbed or vaporized.
Texture: Brittle, glass-like sheet that “shatters” when broken.
Extraction Method: Typically made with butane (BHO).
Use: Dabbing or vaporizing.
Potency: 70–90% THC.
These concentrates have a soft, whipped texture ranging from creamy (budder) to dry and crumbly (crumble). They’re popular for their ease of use and strong, flavorful vapor.
Texture: Soft, waxy, or buttery (budder); drier and crumbly (crumble).
Extraction: Usually butane or propane.
Use: Dabbing or vaporizing.
Potency: 60–90% THC.
A thick, refined liquid form of cannabis extract that’s highly versatile. Distillates are often used in vape cartridges, edibles, and tinctures due to their purity and near-flavorless potency.
Texture: Thick, viscous oil (distillate is highly refined).
Extraction: CO₂ or ethanol.
Use: Vape cartridges, tinctures, or edibles.
Potency: 80–95% THC.
Made from freshly frozen cannabis plants to preserve terpene content, resulting in rich aroma and flavor. It offers a robust, “fresh flower” experience and is often dabbed for maximum effect.
A mix of THCA crystals suspended in terpene-rich oil, known for its vibrant flavor and balanced potency. It delivers both intense aroma and strong psychoactive effects.
Solventless concentrates use mechanical or heat-based methods instead of chemical solvents.
Created by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flower or hash, squeezing out potent resin without solvents. It’s clean, flavorful, and favored by purists for its chemical-free extraction.
Texture: Sticky, sap-like.
Extraction: Heat and pressure applied to flower or hash.
Use: Dabbing or vaping.
Potency: 60–80% THC.
Produced by agitating cannabis in ice water to separate trichomes, then drying and collecting the resin. It offers a natural, full-spectrum experience and can be smoked, vaped, or pressed into rosin.
Texture: Powdery or sticky, depending on purity.
Extraction: Ice water and agitation separate trichomes.
Use: Smoking or pressing into rosin.
Potency: 30–70% THC.
Kief is composed of loose trichome heads sifted from dried cannabis through fine screens. It can be sprinkled on flower, pressed into hash, or used to boost potency in joints or bowls.
Texture: Fine, powdery trichomes collected from flower.
Extraction: Mechanical sieving.
Use: Sprinkle on flower, press into hash, or dab (if pure).
Potency: 30–60% THC.
Pure THCA (or CBD) crystals that resemble coarse sugar or diamonds. These are the most potent concentrates available, often vaporized alone or mixed with terp sauce for enhanced flavor.
Texture: Solid crystals of pure THCA or CBD.
Extraction: Solvent-based, followed by crystallization.
Use: Dabbing or combining with terp sauce.
Potency: 95–99% THCA (before activation).
