Concentrate 101: Which Consistency is Right for You?

by Rebecca G. — Delta 9 PA Greenburg

Marijuana concentrate is a thick resinous sticky oil that comes from marijuana buds. This form of marijuana is a much more concentrated form of cannabinoids and terpenes making it extra potent. Marijuana concentrate comes in multiple forms. 

Various forms of cannabis concentrates

Which concentrate form should I buy? 

It honestly depends on how you are using the concentrate. If you plan to use something such as a Yocan pen, a crumble would be the easiest to just drop a chunk in. If you are using a rig, a resin or budder would be easier to put up with the dab tool. Here are the different types of concentrate: 

Resin - can range from sticky, sap like consistency to a butter consistency with THCA crystals  

Sugar - small THCA crystals ranging from dryer to wetter depending on how much sauce is used 

 Crumble - crumbly, dry wax 

Shatter - a piece flat thin hard wax 

Budder - soft butter consistency wax 

Badder - a thinner batter consistency wax 

Sauce - a very thin lower THC, but high terpene sticky wax sometimes paired with diamonds 

 Diamonds -almost flavorless THCA extremely potent crystals that turn into THC when heated. Diamonds are usually paired with sauce to add flavor 

Sand  - almost flavorless extremely potent THCA crystals that is the consistency of sand 

 If you are ever unsure on what consistency is right for you, feel free to ask your Delta-9 Patient Care Consultant.
