A cannabis concentrate is a highly potent form of cannabis that has had the majority of the plant material removed, leaving behind a concentrated amount of the active ingredients. There are several types of cannabis concentrates, each with its own unique method of extraction and preparation. Some common types of cannabis concentrates include:
- Hash: A type of cannabis concentrate made by separating the trichomes (resinous glands that contain the plant’s active ingredients) from the plant material using ice water.
- Kief: A powdery substance made from the trichomes that have been separated from the plant material.
- Oil: A type of cannabis concentrate made by extracting the plant’s active ingredients using a solvent such as butane, propane, or CO2.
- Wax: A type of cannabis concentrate that has a waxy texture, typically made by using a solvent such as butane or CO2 to extract the plant’s active ingredients.
- Shatter: A type of cannabis concentrate that has a glass-like texture and is made by using a solvent such as butane or CO2 to extract the plant’s active ingredients.
Cannabis concentrates are known for having a much higher concentration of THC and CBD compared to traditional cannabis flower, and thus, users should be very careful when consuming them. It is important to start with small doses and gradually increase as needed. It is also important to note that the production of these concentrates using some solvents such as butane can be dangerous and even illegal in some states.
