A Beginners Guide to Concentrates
If you're joining the world of concentrates for the first time like myself, you're in for a journey. These potent extracts offer diverse experiences, and we're here to break it down for you in an easy way.
Let's dive in!
Shatter: Imagine a glassy, brittle substance that's a bit like caramel candy. That's shatter! To enjoy, use a dab rig—a small water pipe equipped with a nail or banger. Heat it up, drop a small piece of shatter onto the hot surface, and inhale. A little goes a long way!
Wax: Wax looks exactly like its name—a gooey, sticky substance that's almost like honey. Vaping is the way to go here. Load a small amount into a vaporizer pen or a portable vape device, and inhale. It's a discreet and convenient way to catch a smooth buzz.
Live Resin: Imagine capturing the essence of the living plant. Live resin is made from freshly harvested cannabis, preserving its aromatic compounds. For a delicious experience, use a dab rig or a vaporizer. Inhale, and let the vibrant flavors dance on your taste buds.
Rosin: Think of rosin as the DIY concentrate. It's made by pressing cannabis flower between heated plates. You can enjoy it by dabbing with a rig or by adding a small amount to a joint or a bowl. It's like a personal touch to your cannabis journey.
Oil Cartridges: These are your on-the-go buddies. Oil cartridges are pre-filled with distillate, a highly refined form of THC. Simply attach the cartridge to a compatible vape pen battery and inhale. It's discreet, easy, and perfect for a quick mood lift.
Hash: Hash is a classic concentrate made from resinous trichomes. You can sprinkle a little onto your joint, mix it with your flower, or use a small piece in a pipe or bong. It's like adding a pinch of flavor to your cannabis experience.
Remember, start slow and low. Concentrates pack a punch, so a little bit goes a long way. Whether you're into dabbing, vaping, or adding a twist to your joints, these options bring an exciting dimension to your cannabis adventure. Stay high friends!
