It’s greener where you water it.
A little dab’ll do ya.
Cannabis concentrates, such as rosin, shatter or crystalline THCA, refers to highly potent extractions of THC or other cannabinoids. Cannabis plant matter is refined in various ways to remove unwanted contaminants, leaving only the purified and powerful cannabinoids and sometimes terpenes.
Bubble hash is a solventless high-quality form of hashish that consists of numerous trichome heads. It is created by using ice water and gravity to separate the trichomes from the plant material.
When you submerge freshly frozen harvested mature cannabis flowers in ice-cold water and agitate them, the trichomes break off the plant material and are then collected by by bubble bags with varying grades of micron mesh.
This solventless process eliminates the potential for harmful solvent residue in the concentrate, offering a clean and potent end product.
Bubble hash can be mixed with tobacco, or with cannabis buds for additional potency. It is also ideal for pressing your own rosin.
Due to the concentrated nature of extracts, if you don’t have a high THC tolerance it’s best to “start low and go slow”.
Dry Sift is a fast-burning, versatile concentrate that comes from the plant’s trichome heads. It is most commonly collected using a series of screens of varying sizes. When collected, dry sift is regarded as having a higher potency than flower, often reaching 50% to 60% THC levels.
One of the biggest advantages of dry sift is that it’s made through a solventless process, which keeps the entire trichome gland intact and yields a full-spectrum concentrate. This process also eliminates the potential for harmful solvent residue in the concentrate.
Another benefit of dry sift is that it not only contains high concentrations of THC, but also offers flavinoids, terpenes, and other cannabinoids.
Dry sift can be used on its own, mixed with tobacco, or mixed with cannabis buds for additional potency. It is also ideal for pressing your own rosin.

Rosin, sometimes referred to as solventless hash oil (SHO), is a cannabis extract made without solvents.
The extraction method uses a combination of heat and pressure to separate the resinous sap from the plant material. Solventless extraction is seen to be safer and in some ways more pure than other extraction methods.
Rosin is a concentrated and potent form of THC that can be dabbed, vaporised, or added to a doobie or bowl.
Another feature of rosin is that it is a full spectrum extract, meaning it maintains the cannabinoid and terpene profile of the original plant. This allows for the potential advantages of the entourage effect, as well as other benefits associated with terpenes and minor cannabinoids.

Shatter is a cannabis concenrate named for it’s brittle, glass-like consistency and tendency to crack when broken apart.
Shatter is typically extracted using C02, butane or hydrocarbon solvents, and offers a compact and highly concentrated form of cannabis.
The end product is a highly potent oil most popularly used for vaporization and dabbing. This method allows for strong and almost immediate therapeutic and psychoactive effects.
Also worth noting is that because shatter is refined, you are not ingesting unneccesarry plant matter.

Crystalline THCA is cannabis which has been refined into a crystal form and does not contain any terpenes. It resembles coarse sugar in its appearance and is widely regarded as the most potent form of cannabis concentrate.
In addition, because the end product has not been decarboxylated, as long as it is not heated, it will not get you high. Many people prefer this, as they get all the benefits of THC without the psychoactive effects. To use crystalline THCA in this way, you can consume it orally in capsule form, by adding it to liquid, or by making a tincture.
That being said, if the product is heated, the THCA will be decarboxylated, leaving behind the pure THC. As the product contains such a high concentration of THC, it will give you ultra potent effects, with just a small amount of the product. To use crystalline THCA in this way, you can dab or vaporise it, or add a bit to your doobie or pipe to amp up the potency.
