Cannabis extracts for dabbing: how to pick one
Cannabis extracts are made by pulling the THC out of the plant, which leaves a small amount of very strong product. This shelf holds shatter, budder, live resin and diamonds.
These extracts are made for dabbing, not for eating. You heat a tiny piece and breathe in the vapour. They are much stronger than flower, so they suit people who already know their limits.
Pick by texture
Shatter is flat and hard, so it is easy to snap into small bits. Budder is soft and creamy, so it is easy to scoop. Choose the one that sounds easier for you to handle.
Pick by flavour
Live resin is made from plants that were frozen fresh. It keeps more terpenes, which are what give weed its smell and taste. Choose it if flavour matters most to you.
Pick by strength
Diamonds are tiny THC crystals, and they are among the strongest extracts on the shelf. Leave them until you are used to shatter or budder. Even then, start low and go slow.
Common questions
How do I dab an extract?
Heat the bowl of your rig, then let it cool for 30 to 45 seconds. Touch a tiny piece to the hot surface with a tool, and breathe in slowly.
What size should I buy?
Start with the smallest size, since one gram holds dozens of small dabs. Buy a bigger pack once you know that you like it.
How should I store shatter and budder?
Keep them in the paper or jar they came in, and store them somewhere cool and dark. Heat turns shatter soft and sticky.
Can I eat extracts?
No. Eating them raw does very little, because they need heat to work. If you want something to eat or drink, look at our edibles or tinctures.
