High grade, premium ice water hash often goes by names like “full melt” or “ice wax,” and it’s a potent, sought after form for many daily dabbers. What to try: Another hash making method involves ice water and mechanical pressure, creating “ice water hash” aka “bubble hash,” which is often pressed into rosin, vaporized in cartridges like Nevada brand CAMP’s ice water hash offerings, or used inside infusions. There are mechanized dry sieves that separate the good stuff from the plant and filter it through a fine mesh screen, creating what we know as “kief” or “dry sift.” (It’s also what gathers at the bottom of your grinder.) That can be sprinkled atop a bowl, rolled in with flower in an “infused joint.” Or it can be pressed to create rosin, which we’ll get to later. Technological advancements have largely changed how hash is produced today. For comparison, cannabis flowers generally express 15-25% THC. Traditional methods of hash making involve packing the plant’s resin to create compressed, smokable chunks that typically sport THC contents between 40-60%. Hash in 2021 looks very different, made much more efficiently via a mechanized sieve or a pressurized process using ice. Hashish is the OG concentrate, traditionally made by rubbing buds together in your hands and rolling the residual resin into a sticky little wad. Now we’re stretching further back than college-era brownies, as in thousands of years. What to try: Elbe’s Edibles in Oregon have made canna-butter recipes a pillar of its beloved baked good brand. But many crave the nostalgic, full-bodied high that it brings, and there are companies out there still doing things the old school way. The ways edible companies are regulated have resulted in processed cannabis oil being a more convenient ingredient than time-consuming canna-butter, which can also be harder to keep consistent. Those fatty compounds bind with the fats of the butter, so that once you remove the excess plant material, the remaining butter is ready to be prepared in a batch of very special brownies or infused chai tea. This is not typically considered a part of the category of concentrates, but technically, it is, and it’s a helpful foundation for understanding what happens when cannabis is processed.Ĭanna-butter refers to the classic method of slow cooking weed and butter in order to pull the cannabinoids and other plant compounds from the leaves. Good luck out there, and don’t forget a silicone mat for handling the sticky goods.įirst off, please don’t ever try to dab canna-butter. Here’s ultimate guide to concentrates in which we break down each type, discuss what sets it apart, and provide examples of where one can find it. Regional slang impacts things as well, adding confusion with additional nicknames for different forms of concentrate. Shatter, bubble hash, rosin, crumble, CO2, diamonds-all these different forms of concentrates, and the many others, are differentiated in two ways: the method of processing and the source material (e.g., whole flower buds versus trim and stems). This gooey oil boom has benefitted a variety of demographics: daily dabbers seeking stronger and more flavorful highs, those who prefer vape, people seeking potent medicine in highly concentrated tinctures. Of course, hash is no recent concept- cannabis enthusiasts were rolling sticky cannabis plants by hand to gather concentrated wads for smoking hundreds of years ago-but the extraction game has transformed over the past decade. A world that every cannabis and hemp enthusiast is a part of, whether they dab or not.
Combine that multilayered power plant with the vast array of modern technological capabilities-and add in an adventurous consumer base-and you’ve got one elaborate, confusing world of cannabis concentrates.
Despite our advances in terpene science and understanding the endo-cannabinoid system, we have really only figured a fraction of how this plant interacts with our bodies and why.
