Cannabis concentrates are products that are made by extracting the active compounds from the cannabis plant. They are typically more potent than other forms of cannabis, and can be used in a variety of ways, including vaporizing, dabbing, and cooking. Some common types of cannabis concentrates include oil, wax, shatter, and rosin. Each of these types of concentrates are made using different methods and have their own unique properties, such as purity, potency, and overall effects. It’s always a good idea to start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the right balance for you.
Here is more information about the common types of cannabis concentrates:
1. Oil: Cannabis oil is made by extracting the active compounds from the cannabis plant using a solvent, such as alcohol or CO2. It can be consumed orally or applied topically.
2. Wax: Cannabis wax is made by extracting the active compounds from the cannabis plant using a solvent and then purifying the resulting extract. It is a soft, crumbly concentrate that is typically vaporized or dabbed.
3. Shatter: Cannabis shatter is a hard, translucent concentrate that is made by extracting the active compounds from the cannabis plant using a solvent and then purifying the resulting extract. It is typically vaporized or dabbed.
4. Rosin: Cannabis rosin is a solventless concentrate that is made by applying heat and pressure to the cannabis plant material (or hash if its Hash Rosin) to extract the active compounds. It is a versatile concentrate that can be vaporized, dabbed, or used in cooking.
5: Diamonds: Cannabis diamonds, also known as THC diamonds or THC crystals are a highly concentrated form of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis). They are typically made by extracting THC from the cannabis plant using a solvent, such as butane or CO2, and then purifying the resulting extract to remove impurities and create a crystal-like structure. THC diamonds are usually vaporized or dabbed and are known for their high potency.
The term “Live” is refers to a concentrate that is made using fresh, undried cannabis plants that have been frozen immediately after harvest. It is known for its strong aroma and flavor and is typically vaporized or dabbed. This can refer to Live Resin, Live Rosin, Live Diamonds, etc.
