These are all varying terms for different types of cannabis concentrates that are available in today’s legal (and, let’s be honest, illegal) cannabis market--one that is technologically advanced and highly concentrated, with advents of an impressively long list of new ways to consume cannabis -- most notably, dabbing.

How to Stay Safe This 710

“Dabs” are concentrated doses of cannabis that are made by extracting THC and other cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. This is done using 1) a solvent such as butane, carbon dioxide, water, ethanol, etc., resulting in products such as wax, shatter, budder, or live resin, or 2) solventless methods such as heating and cooling, resulting in products such as rosin. According to analyses revealed in a study conducted by Mallory Loflin and Dr. Mitch Earleywine, the use of “dabs” does not create more problems or accidents than the use of flower cannabis. This being said, the significantly increased concentration of...

Its primary non-psychoactive cannabinoid is CBD. THC begins as the inactive THCA in the plant, which becomes active when it’s heated (decarboxylated). Various “concentrates” of cannabis are manufactured, including hash, oil, and kief. These are very potent products (much more so than buds). What are the effects? In small quantities, many users...
