Concentrates

Concentrates, also known as extracts, are produced from cannabis trichomes, which contain the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds which give cannabis its recreational and medical effects. There are a variety of methods to create and process concentrates, and they can generally be lumped into two categories: full-spectrum concentrates and isolates.

What are concentrates?

The cannabis plant is covered in trichomes, resinous glands that contain cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds. Trichomes can be extracted from the cannabis plant, creating a concentrated form of cannabis. These concentrates can take on numerous forms, largely depending on the method used to create them.

How to consume concentrates

Most concentrates are dabbed, or flash vaporized, through a dab rig, but some concentrates can also be added to the top of a bowl of flower, or used to make edibles. Concentrates also commonly come as an oil in a pre-filled cartridge that can be attached to a battery for easy and discreet consumption.
