Cannabis flower is covered by microscopic, mushroom-shaped, hair-like compounds called trichomes. These trichomes surround the budding cannabis flower and produce the plant’s cannabinoids. Different varieties of these trichomes can be collected. The resulting products, collectively called concentrates, typically contain very high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC (the psychotropic ingredient in marijuana). These THC-filled marijuana products can be vaporized and inhaled using a vape pen or through a process known as dabbing.
Cannabis concentrates can be made at home or in a commercial environment utilizing modern equipment. These products can be made in various ways, including:
Utilizing flammable solvents is one of the more popular methods because the resulting products have high THC levels, users report longer-lasting effects, and it’s a relatively inexpensive and efficient production method.
The cannabis products resulting from these methods look like this:
Vape pens can consume hash oil and waxes, while solids can be smoked by being placed on a heated platform, vaporized by high heat, and inhaled through a dabbing tool, often referred to as a rig.
The terms used to describe these cannabis products often vary. All products that have been extracted from the plant are often called concentrates. Some people don’t consider products pulled from the plant without using solvent methods as extracts. Others use the word extract and concentrate interchangeably. Dabs are usually used to describe products made from butane hash oil. However, it’s another term that sometimes refers to concentrates collectively.
