Some Frequently Asked Questions

What is a marijuana concentrate and how do I consume it?

Marijuana concentrates, available in many forms such as Live Resin, Rosin, and Pure Distillate, is an expertly extracted version of cannabis derived originally from high quality bud strains, usually AAA or Quads. There are many ways to add concentrates to your regular consumption of weed, or even to ingest it on its own. Most users who pack their own pre-rolls like to mix a bit of concentrate into their joint, adding minimal impact to the size but drastically increasing potency. Other usages include smoking directly, such as pulling from a nail or dab rig.

What is the best cannabis concentrate?

Of all the options available, between Shatter, Pure Distillate, and the newer options such as THC Sugar and Diamonds, it’s hard to pick out one single concentrate to crown as the best option of the batch. While Pure Distillate has the longest track record of being the go-to choice for dabbers and pre-roll veterans, newer options like THC Diamonds have refined the process so much to almost achieve 100% THC purity, skyrocketing the potency level we previously had thought was already maxed out.

What are THC diamonds?

THC Diamonds are an extract of high quality cannabis packing up to 99.9% THC purity. This makes THC Diamonds the undisputed #1 most potent concentrate available in the Canadian market, only comparable to Sugar and some select strains of Shatter. THC Diamonds earn its name from the intense crystallization process that needs to occur to achieve this pure state of THC, yielding a substance shining like little diamonds to the naked eye.

What is THC sugar?

THC Sugar is another form of concentrate, achieving incredibly high potency only outmatched by Diamonds. Sugar is categorized by a sticky, liquid consistency unlike Live Resin or Shatter. The specialty with Sugar is its high levels of terpene, giving them an incredibly robust flavour profile depending on the strain. Made by stripping cannabis plants of any oil or trichomes with a solvent, Sugar is a “winterized” substance with all fats and lipids removed, resulting in a yellow or amber colour indicating its high potency.

What is the best concentrate for beginners to smoke?

If you have never tried concentrate before, we recommend starting with shatter. It is potent, easy to break into small dabs, and great for smoking or vaping.

The World Of Concentrates

Even though most concentrates today are produced using modern technologies and extraction methods, they have a very extensive and established history. The first known uses of concentrated cannabis can be dated back to 10,000 B.C. in the Steppe Mountains of China.

Popularity and demand for concentrates have increased dramatically with the legalization of marijuana. This exponential growth in consumer interest has refined concentrate extraction methods to innovative heights, which is why so many new and exciting forms of concentrates are emerging. Concentrates are a great option for seasoned cannabis consumers looking to increase the intensity of their high, as well as flavour connoisseurs seeking to taste the most exquisite terpene profiles. Medical marijuana patients in need of relief also turn to concentrates for a direct, economical and fast-acting solution to their ailments.
