Black Gold Afghani Hash

Afghan hash is derived from small, compact Indica plants, often displaying Kush characteristics. To create Afghanistan Hashish, manufacturers manually compress it with a hint of tea or water. This meticulous process continues until the hashish achieves remarkable elasticity and a potent, aromatic fragrance. Its exterior is typically dark black, while the interior showcases dark green or brown hues that resemble an enticing chocolate bar.

Budder – Afgoo

Afgoo is a robust Indica-dominant cannabis strain thought to have ancestral roots in both Afghani and Maui Haze strains. While smaller doses of this strain might elicit some creative inspiration, it is typically associated with relaxation and a sedating effect. 

CBD Tears – Full Spectrum CBD

The primary cannabinoids present in full-spectrum CBD, namely CBD and THC, have distinct effects on various brain regions. Although ongoing research is exploring their full impact, cannabinoids have an involvement in regulating the body's endocannabinoid system.

This system is accountable for managing the function of the nervous and immune systems and regulating mood, sleep patterns, and responses to inflammation, among other functions. 

The endocannabinoid system aids in rectifying various imbalances within the body by engaging receptors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Live Resin – Gorilla Butter

Gorilla Butter is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Peanut Butter Breath with GG4. It boasts an 18% THC content that delivers a balanced set of effects. This strain emits an earthy aroma complemented by a creamy and smooth flavour profile. Gorilla Butter is known for inducing a euphoric high that promotes sociability and relaxation. 

Shatter – Pink Death

The Pink Death strain, a hybrid variety, is thought to result from the crossing of Death Bubba and Pink Kush. It predominantly leans toward the Indica side and can have THC levels that soar up to 30%. This strain has sweet, earthy, and potent characteristics, which induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, upliftment, and euphoria. Typically recommended for nighttime use, it can lead to a strong couch-lock sensation, common with many potent Indica strains. 

Why Try Weed Concentrates

Cannabis concentrates offer a fresh avenue for exploration in the cannabis world for recreational users, introducing a novel level of intoxication. For medical marijuana users, concentrates deliver a quicker and more potent effect compared to traditional cannabis flower.

Concentrates also provide extended effects and offer a rich array of aromas and flavours, thanks to the abundance of terpenes.

When vaporized, cannabis concentrates offer a discreet alternative to smoking marijuana, and depending on the extraction method, they may deliver a cleaner high.

Investing in concentrates, despite their higher initial cost compared to flower buds, is a wise choice because concentrates have a significantly longer lifespan than cannabis flower. The cost-effectiveness of this investment hinges on your consumption habits and frequency. For moderate consumers, using concentrates can lead to substantial savings over time.

Is the Use of Cannabis Concentrates Suitable for You?

The reasons behind the surging popularity of concentrates in Canada's cannabis market are quite clear. These meticulously refined products provide a quick avenue for experiencing the effects of CBD or THC in a matter of seconds.

If your THC tolerance is low, it would be advisable to explore CBD-rich products or opt for easily dosed oils and tinctures. For a milder experience, you might also consider perusing an extensive range of edibles and cannabis flower selections.

As your THC tolerance gradually increases, you can then consider transitioning to more potent options like shatter, budder, or hash with greater confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store marijuana concentrates?

Proper storage is necessary to prevent them from drying out. We highly recommend using an airtight container and storing it in a cool, dark location. Storing your concentrate in a warm environment poses the risk of melting and the subsequent loss of aroma, flavour, and valuable cannabinoids.

• To prevent sticking, consider placing your concentrate on parchment paper before transferring it to an airtight container.
• Silicon containers are easy to clean, non-stick, and adept at maintaining the ideal temperature for your product. They are durable, reusable, and offer the convenience of direct consumption. They also provide a practical solution for on-the-go vaping.
• Dispensaries commonly offer glass or plastic containers, but if these are not non-stick, your concentrate may adhere to the surface. To address this issue, opt for a heat-resistant, tempered glass container that ensures safe storage.

How to consume concentrates?

1. Bowl Topping: This method involves enhancing cannabis flower with concentrates for an added punch. It offers the advantage of experiencing heightened potency without going overboard. For example, when using a bong or pipe, you can sprinkle a small amount of concentrate into the bowl alongside the flower. If you prefer joints or blunts, you can incorporate concentrate during the rolling process, known as 'twaxing.'
2. Dabbing: Dabbing is the primary method for using concentrates, which involves a specialized device called a dab rig. Opting for a dab rig constructed from borosilicate glass is recommended. A smaller rig is also preferable as it enhances the flavour. 
3. Vaporizers: While desktop vaporizers are still an option, an increasing number of individuals are favouring portable vape devices like pens. Basic vape pens allow you to load concentrate into the chamber. More advanced devices enable you to select specific temperatures, a feature for preserving as many terpenes and cannabinoids as possible.

What is the right dosage when consuming concentrates?

If you lack substantial experience with concentrates or if you're trying a new product for the first time, employ the “slow and low” method.

Calculating the right dosage can be a complex process, influenced by factors such as your age, tolerance level, medications you may be taking, and various other considerations. It's advisable to commence with a minimal quantity of the product. 

For instance, if you have a gram of dab or vape cannabis concentrate, consult the product label to identify the recommended dose. If, for example, it suggests 5 grams, start with half of that recommended portion. Wait for a while to gauge the effects of what you've consumed, and if necessary, add another gram. Repeat this process until you get the desired results, and there you have your ideal dose.

Which is more potent, cannabis flower or concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates possess a higher potency compared to cannabis flowers, containing a more substantial percentage of THC or other cannabinoids. The THC content in most purchased cannabis flowers does not exceed 30%, often falling below that threshold.

Concentrates can reach levels of up to 90% THC or even higher in certain instances. In general, concentrates tend to range between 50% and 90% in terms of THC concentration.

What is the onset speed of the effects of concentrates?

• Oils: 45 minutes to 1 hour
• Vaping: 1-10 minutes
• Dabbing: 30 to 90 seconds
