Although you’ve probably seen concentrates at your local cannabis dispensary, you may not know how they are made and how to use them. There are two main ways to make marijuana concentrates: solvent-based extraction and solventless extraction. Solvent-based means an element is added to help dissolve the resin in a cannabis plant, which leaves the concentrated extracts behind that are then packaged and sold. Common solvents include butane, propane, hexane, and other hydrocarbons. When used, these create budder, sauce, shatter, and many other types of concentrates that are commonly used by marijuana enthusiasts. Although this is a great way to make extracts, it’s also dangerous because these chemicals are flammable, expensive, and not easy to work with. Other solvents are carbon dioxide and alcohol.

Cannabis Concentrates That Hit Different

The other popular way to create concentrates is solventless extraction. As you might expect, ice water extraction works by combining ice, water, and cannabis to extract the concentrates in a very safe and clean way. Another method is using heat and pressure to pull out the concentrated THC and CBD. These methods produce wax, honeycomb, shatter, and caviar. There are so many different textures, flavors, and strains to choose from that you’ll never get bored when using concentrates. It’s a fun way to explore your tastes and try new things, especially if you’ve fallen into a marijuana rut.
