If you have spent any time around cannabis enthusiasts, you have likely heard about cannabis concentrates. They are widely available at cannabis dispensaries, but what are cannabis concentrate, and how do you use them? Cannabis concentrates are substances that contain a concentrated amount of a cannabinoid, typically THC or CBD. Cannabis concentrates can come in a variety of colors and consistencies, but they are typically yellow or gold, with a sticky texture. Cannabis concentrates are effective at delivering the desired cannabinoid to the body, as they contain the most amount of the substance by volume. Cannabis concentrates can be made through a variety of ways, some are made by a distillation process, and others are made by heating the cannabis flower, and using high pressure to extract the concentrate. There are a multitude of ways to enjoy cannabis concentrates. The most popular way is called “dabbing.” Dabbing is when you heat a “nail,” such as a titanium nail, or quartz banger, to high temperatures, and then “dab” a small amount of cannabis concentrate onto the hot surface to vaporize the concentrate. A more convenient method of enjoying cannabis concentrates is to use a portable vaporizer. Cannabis vaporizers come in many shapes and sizes, but they all work to vaporize cannabis concentrates at a high enough temperature so that the concentrate becomes a vapor and can be inhaled. If you are curious about trying cannabis concentrates, talk to the budtender at your local cannabis dispensary, and see what the most ideal cannabis concentrate is for you, you’ll never know until you try!
