Cannabis concentrates and distillates refer to highly potent and often rich cannabis extracts that are carefully derived from the raw plant material.
With high levels of chemical compounds namely THC and CBD (two of the main cannabinoids found in cannabis), concentrates tend to be a lot stronger and potent than traditional cannabis flowers.
At the same time, heavy amounts of other natural compounds such as terpenes also give them a much stronger taste and aroma.
Found in many forms such as dabs, vape oils, and resins, cannabis concentrates are usually procured by separating active and pure ingredients from any unwanted and excess plant material.
Cannabis concentrates can be extracted in a number of ways with each having its pros and cons.
While the method of extraction may vary depending on the desired effects and available resources, the purpose of it all is to isolate the required cannabinoids and terpenes from any excess plant material and impurities.
Some of the common methods of extraction are:
A few common types of cannabis concentrates include hash, kief, rosin, wax, crumble, sugar, diamonds, and resins.
