Although I have been a cannabis enthusiast for several years, I just recently discovered concentrates.
- Before recreational cannabis was legal in my state, I would sporadically buy a tote of weed from a friend.
The bags weren’t labeled with any information. I had no idea of the strain, potency or freshness. Once I started shopping at a licensed dispensary, I was amazed by the improvement of quality. I was glad to sample unusual strains of flower. There is a nearly endless variety of indicas, sativas as well as hybrids. I gradually moved on to the huge menu of edibles, collection of vapes as well as variety of tinctures. The wax, shatter, budder, live sauce, kief as well as crumble were a bit intimidating because of the potency! Concentrates frequently offer THC levels exceeding 90%. They give a far more intense experience than smoking traditional flower. I wasn’t sure I could handle such strong psychoactive effects. However, I was interested in concentrates because of the immediate onset of effects as well as enhanced flavor profiles. Terpenes are the reason for the stink as well as taste of the strain. They play a part in the therapeutic benefits. Concentrates preserve terpene profiles better than other consumption methods, providing a more pronounced as well as diverse range of flavors. The stronger flavor improves the enjoyment of the experience. Another fortune to concentrates is that a small amount goes a long way. This helps to offset the expense, then vaping or dabbing concentrates requires a lower temperature than smoking a joint. I would love to inhale vapor rather than smoke to protect my lungs, with so several concentrate chances available, I was excited to try them out.
