What Are Concentrates?
Cannabis concentrates, as the name suggests, are highly concentrated cannabis products. Concentrates contain specific cannabinoids, such as THC, in a greater amount than found in raw flower. Concentrates often
offer between 50% and 90% THC, depending on type. However, it is important to note that a high THC percentage does not guarantee more intoxicating effects.
What are Concentrates?
The cannabis trichomes are rich in compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes responsible for the recreational effects of marijuana. These trichomes can be extracted from the cannabis plant to create a concentrated form of cannabis.
Therefore, concentrates are trichome extracts that contain a higher amount of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other cannabis compounds than weed flowers. They are thus stronger than the cannabis flower and a go-to for those that want to experience a stronger recreational effect.
Concentrates containing all the cannabis compounds are called full-spectrum concentrates, while those purified to only leave a single compound are referred to as isolates. Full-spectrum concentrates generate the entourage effect, but isolates do not.
Concentrates 101
There are a variety of different types of cannabis concentrates to choose from—but how do you use them?
Dabbing: Typically involving a dab rig, nectar collector, or other dabbing devices, the concentrate is heated to the point of vaporization and inhaled.
Vaping: Pre-filled vape cartridges offer an easy-to-use, hassle-free concentrate experience.
Infusing flower: Adding concentrate to your flower, such as in a bowl, can be an easily customizable infusion option. Additionally, many brands offer ready-to-smoke infused pre-rolls.
Types of Concentrates
The kind of concentrate you get usually depends on how the organic compounds are treated after extraction and the cannabis flower that went into it. Below are the cannabis concentrates and extracts available in Lake of the Ozarks, MO.
Wax
Made from cured or frozen flower and processed through a solvent-based extraction, typically using butane, and refined using several purification methods. The resulting oil is then stirred into a wax-like consistency.
Live Resin
Made from fresh or frozen cannabis flower harvested at its peak to preserve unique terpene profiles. Live Resin is then extracted (typically using a solvent like CO2 or butane), and decarboxylated.
Live Rosin
Made by applying heat and pressure directly to cannabis flower or hash without the use of solvents. This process preserves most of the plant’s terpenes, delivering a more flower accurate flavor and effects.
Shatter
Made using a similar extraction process to wax, Shatter is not stirred and instead left to settle and harden, resulting in a sheet of brittle, glass-like concentrate.
Diamond
Made using Live Resin in a slow extraction and crystallization process, resulting in a crystalline structure of nearly pure THCA. These concentrates often boast very high potency levels, as the THCA is transformed into THC when heated.
Rick Simpson Oil
(RSO) is a potent extract known for its full-spectrum cannabinoid profile and potential therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief. RSO can typically be found in a syringe for sublingual (under the tongue) or topical application, and it is recommended to use it in small doses.
