What Are Concentrates?

Concentrates are produced from the cannabis plant’s trichomes, which are tiny, sticky hair-like compounds that surround the budding flower. A number of trichomes of different varieties can be extracted from the cannabis plant to produce concentrates, which is a term used to refer to all cannabis products extracted from the plant. Concentrates include hash oil, waxes, dabs, sugar and badder. These products can be consumed with vape pens, pods and other devices that produce high heat quickly. These concentrates offer the highest level of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is the ingredient that produces psychotropic effects when marijuana is consumed.
