In today’s time when cannabis has been legalized in many states across the United States, there are plenty of products in which you can find cannabis concentrates. They are usually available in products like weed oil cartridges, mediated muscle creams, etc. In general, concentrates are made from the raw cannabis plant and are processed heavily to keep only the most desirable compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids after removing all the impurities. If you compared with natural cannabis flowers, concentrates are found to have a greater proportion of terpenes and cannabinoids.
Concentrates can immensely help in increasing the potency of your cannabis flower, so whenever you get a chance to smoke a joint next time, sprinkle some chief on top or add a few drops of concertante oil.
How To Consume Concentrates
There is no rocket science behind using concentrates. They can be mixed with the flower or consumed on their own depending on your preferences. Understand it with the help of an example. If you are dabbing, you can vaporize concentrates with the help of a portable vaporizer.
These days, among many other traditional and new methods, dabbing is liked and used the most by cannabis lovers. That said, you must know that until you have proper dabbing equipment, it’s hard to derive the effect you desire. You have to have a specific setup and proper equipment to active the terpenes and concentrated cannabinoids. While some cannabis prefers to dab concentrates using a titanium nail, others like to use quartz nails or bangers. The only difference between these two is that the quartz is less durable but heats up faster than the titanium nails. It also offers a cleaner taste that many users crave for. You can heat it up for about 30 seconds or until the banger shows red hot or orange glow for the maximum benefits.
There are many terms in practice these days that you should know as soon as possible. The Sugar concentrates are those that have a similar consistency to wet the sappy sugar. Their color is usually deep amber or yellow. Sauce s a more viscous, thicker in texture and looks stickier. Crystalline, on the other hand, is single and crystallized.
Make sure you keep these terms in mind next time when your hardcore cannabis using friends are around so that you can sound knowledgeable in front of them about cannabis and its rising popularity.
