Cannabis concentrate

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
