Concentrates, also known as cannabis oil or extract, is a product that is made by using cannabis buds and trimmings. They are soaked with liquified butane; this is done to separate trichomes, crystals with high concentrations of terpenes and cannabinoids, from the plant. It is then heated and agitated to purge the butane out of the mixture. The agitation process (whipping, shaking, stirring) is what creates the concentrate’s consistency and type (sugar, crumble, batter, etc.) It is left to rest afterward. Concentrates typically range from 50%-90% THC. You can smoke concentrates in a variety of ways; you can use a wax pen or vaporizer, a nectar collector, or more commonly used a rig. Warm the rig’s banger or the nectar collector’s tip with a torch to achieve the heat needed to burn/melt the concentrate.

Cannabis, also known as flower or marijuana, is the dried leaves and buds coming from the Cannabis Sativa, and Cannabis Indica plants. Breeders later crossed these two plants and created the commonly known Hybrid strain type. The Sativa strain type is known for its euphoric, energizing, and uplifting effects. The Indica strain type is known for its relaxing, calming, and sedating effects. The Hybrid strain type is known for the mixture of both Sativa and Indica, usually Sativa-dominant or Indica-dominant. You can smoke cannabis in a variety of ways; you can smoke it in papers or wraps, from a pipe, or from a water bong.

Pre-rolls or pre-rolled joints are cannabis ground down and packed into joint papers. It saves the trouble of having to pack or roll a joint yourself, is portable, and has the convenience of it being readily available to consume. Pre-rolls can come in any strain type and are usually available in a half-gram or a full-gram.
