What Are Marijuana Concentrates?
A concentrate is a cannabis extract made by separating the most resin-rich parts of the plant (often from trichome resin) into a smaller, more potent form. Concentrates can be solvent-based (hydrocarbon extraction, like BHO) or solventless (like rosin). The goal is a more concentrated cannabinoid and terpene profile than flower—meaning stronger effects per small dab.

Cannabis Concentrates vs Other Marijuana Products
Flower is classic and more forgiving. Concentrates are higher potency and more efficient per inhale.
Edibles can be longer-lasting and slower to start. Dabbing tends to feel faster and more immediate.
Cartridges are convenient and portable; dabs can be more intense with bigger terpene flavor—especially with the right rig and temperature control.
Storage, Handling, and Keeping Terpenes Fresh
Concentrates are sensitive to heat, light, and air. For best quality:
- Keep concentrates sealed and cool
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources
- Store tools clean and dry to protect flavor
Keep Concentrates Away From Food & Drinks!
Treat concentrates like high-potency cannabis ingredients—don’t leave them near snacks or drinks to reduce accidental contact.
Cannabis Concentrates in Portland, OR | FAQ
What are cannabis concentrates?
Cannabis concentrates are extracts that isolate resin-rich compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes into a smaller, more potent format than flower. They come in different textures and can be made with solvent-based methods or solventless processes like rosin.
What is shatter?
Shatter is a brittle, glass-like concentrate that snaps cleanly and is known for high potency. It’s commonly used for dabbing with a rig and banger/nail, and is popular for its clean look and strong effects.
What is cannabis wax?
Cannabis wax is a soft, scoopable concentrate (often called wax, budder, or badder). It’s easy to handle with a dab tool and is popular for terpene-forward flavor and straightforward dosing.
Is dabbing stronger than smoking cannabis flower?
Often, yes. Concentrates typically contain higher cannabinoid levels than flower, so a small dab can feel much stronger than a bowl or joint. Start with a very small amount, wait, and avoid stacking hits—especially if you’re new.
