Cannabis concentrate

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Cannabis concentrate is a highly potent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrated mass that is most similar in appearance to either honey or butter, which is why it is referred to or known as "honey oil" or "budder".

Types of Cannabis Concentrates[edit | edit source]

Cannabis concentrates come in various forms. The main types include, but are not limited to: shatter, wax, crumble, rosin, tincture, and oil. These concentrates are renowned for their high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, providing a more potent cannabis experience.

Shatter[edit | edit source]

Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate that is known for its brittle, glass-like texture. It is typically transparent and can range in color from light to dark amber. Shatter is known for its high potency, often containing up to 80% cannabinoids.

Wax[edit | edit source]

Wax is another form of cannabis concentrate that has a softer, more opaque and wax-like texture. It is less potent than shatter, but still contains a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Crumble[edit | edit source]

Crumble is a cannabis concentrate with a crumbly texture. It is less dense than other concentrates and is often used in combination with other forms of cannabis for a more potent effect.

Rosin[edit | edit source]

Rosin is a solventless cannabis concentrate that is made by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flowers. It is known for its purity, as it does not require the use of solvents in its production.

Tincture[edit | edit source]

Tincture is a liquid cannabis concentrate that is typically consumed orally or sublingually. It is often made by infusing cannabis in alcohol or another solvent.

Oil[edit | edit source]

Oil is a liquid cannabis concentrate that is often consumed orally, vaporized, or used in edibles. It is typically made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis using a solvent.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of cannabis concentrates involves the extraction of the potent cannabinoid and terpene compounds from the cannabis plant. This can be achieved through a variety of extraction methods, including solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and mechanical separation. The resulting product is a highly concentrated mass of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Cannabis concentrates are typically consumed through vaporization, dabbing, or ingestion. They are known for their high potency, providing a more intense and longer-lasting effect than traditional cannabis flowers.
