What are the Different Types of Cannabis Concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates are a little more like a processed version of cannabis. At the simplest level, a cannabis concentrate is made by taking cannabis flower or other plant matter and subjecting it to an extraction process. The resulting liquid is then put through a filtration process and may be vaporized (vaped), consumed or used as an e-liquid for vaporizers.

Usually, marijuana concentrates are made from marijuana that has been treated with chemicals or other methods to enhance its potency. They can be made from different parts of the plant, for example, cannabis buds, the stems and trichomes. Some can provide long-lasting highs, while others provide more potent effects when used occasionally. 

There are several different concentrates to choose from, so it’s essential to learn more about them before consuming cannabis concentrates. You’ll want to determine which product is best for your personal preference. Choosing the suitable concentrate for you can be pretty daunting, but there are some critical factors to consider when shopping for the perfect marijuana concentrate. 

From THC content and flavonoids found to what cannabinoids and terpenes profile you prefer, here’s everything you’ll need to know about the different types of cannabis concentrates.

 

Types of Cannabis Extracts/Concentrates 

Are you curious about the variety of concentrated forms of marijuana available in the cannabis industry? What are they, and how do they work? Let’s find out together!

 

 

Cannabis Oil

Cannabis concentrated oil is one of the main types of cannabis extract products. Cannabis oil tends to be produced using highly-refined processes and advanced extraction methods. As a result, cannabis oil will typically have a higher concentration of THC and CBD than flower or other concentrates. Cannabis oil is often used to produce edibles, tinctures, topicals and other cannabis products. Cannabis oil can also be vaped on its own.

Cannabis oil is typically made using the butane or CO2 extraction method to extract cannabinoids from cannabis flowers and leaves. The resulting extract can then be refined into different THC concentrate products, including live resin, shatter, wax concentrates or budder. Cannabis oil can be consumed in many ways, including smoking and vaporizing. It can also be added to food or drink, although it’s essential to remember that the psychoactive effects of consuming cannabis are delayed when eaten.

 

Hashish

The terms ‘hash’, ‘butane hash oil’ and ‘bubble hash’ often refer to the same thing — concentrated plant material that you can smoke, eat or make into edibles. Hashish, or hash, is the resinous concentrate of the leaves and flowers from the cannabis plant. The easiest way to consume hash is by smoking it in a bong or pipe. Hash can also be mixed into flowers or baked into brownies and other edibles. Many use paraphernalia like a dab rig or bubbler to load up and smoke their hash.

We should mention that hash varies in colour and potency depending on the strain. 

 

Wax or Budder

Wax is another type of THC concentrate that you can enjoy with friends. Wax can be made with either flowers or hash, but it is not the same as budder, which is made with hash alone. The plant type differentiates Wax and budder; wax contains trichomes from cannabis leaf, while budder contains trichomes from cannabis resin glands. 

Wax has been called the poor man’s weed because it’s cheap, easy to make and can be smoked or dabbed with flowers. Although wax can be used as a concentrate, it’s usually made from buds and blossoms that are processed into crude oil and refined into incense. Many people compare wax to crack cocaine because of its addictive nature. In contrast, budder is more similar to hash.

 

Shatter

Shatter is a solid concentrate with a texture similar to hard candy. This crystallized form of marijuana looks like glass and breaks very easily when squeezed. The effects of shatter are similar to wax and hash and can be packed directly into a dab rig or vaporizer for amazing vapour clouds.

 

 

 

Conclusion on Cannabis Concentrate Products

Cannabis THC concentrates are a unique, growing subset of the legal cannabis market (especially in Canada and the states). Their rapidly climbing sales reveal the considerable demand for a more potent and efficient smoking experience. That said, it’s not easy to pick out the best concentrates in a sea of confusing products, and poorly labelled jars are not helpful. 

Perhaps you’re a long-time dispensary customer who’s only now interested in concentrates. Don’t be afraid; take it slow, and listen to your body. If a dab hits too hard, wait a while before trying another. Remember that low-THC and high-CBD concentrates can ease you into the experience without overwhelming you. And if you have medical needs, ask your budtender for advice on products and dosage.
