Exploring the Different Types of Cannabis Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. These highly potent extracts offer a more intense and immediate high compared to traditional flower, making them a favorite among seasoned smokers and medical users alike. But with so many different types of concentrates available, it can be hard to know where to start. In this post, we'll explore some of the most popular types of cannabis concentrates.
Shatter - Shatter is a type of concentrate that's known for its glass-like consistency. It's made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes using a solvent like butane or CO2, and then purging the solvent to create a potent, translucent substance that shatters when it's broken.
Wax - Wax is similar to shatter in that it's made using a solvent, but it has a softer, more pliable texture. It's often referred to as budder or crumble, depending on its consistency.
Live Resin - Live resin is made using fresh, frozen cannabis buds that are extracted using a solvent. Because the buds are frozen, the terpenes are better preserved, resulting in a concentrate with a more robust flavor profile.
Rosin - Rosin is unique in that it's made without using any solvents. Instead, it's made by pressing cannabis buds or hashish between heated plates. This process extracts the cannabinoids and terpenes, resulting in a sticky, resinous substance.
Hash - Hash is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of cannabis concentrate. It's made by compressing the resin glands (trichomes) of the cannabis plant into a solid block.
No matter which type of concentrate you choose, it's important to remember that they're highly potent and should be consumed in moderation. Start with a small amount and wait for the effects to kick in before consuming more.
