DABS 101 - A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO CANNABIS CONCENTRATES


Shatter, wax, oil, crumble, budder… these are only some of the popular names used to describe a variety of cannabis extracts or "dabs". The vast number of names might lead you to believe that are distinct differences between each type of dab, but these products are fundamentally the same - a highly potent oil containing extracted plant compounds from cannabis like THC and CBD. The process of extraction can vary depending on the type solvent, equipment, heat, time, and starting materials. The different names of dabs really just refer to the varying consistency that each extraction process yields. Here's a quick breakdown of the dabs that are most common:Shatter, wax

 Shatter is a solid but sticky with a sheen/glass-like appearance. Shatter is one of the most recognized concentrates. It is easy to manipulate and is far less messy than other varieties of concentrates or extracts. #cannabis #concentrates
