With CBD now legal in every U.S. state, the popularity of this cannabinoid is on the rise. From CBD dabs to gummies and more, consumers across the country are excited to give CBD a try. Even though THC remains the first thing that comes to mind when we think of hemp, it’s legal status effectively blocks companies from introducing new products to the market. But even though the alternatives available to customers aren’t psychoactive, one thing remains the same:smoking.
Inhalation is one of the favorite methods of intaking hemp among enthusiasts. Its popularity has introduced a new type of product – CBD concentrates – designed to be smoked in various ways to meet the increasing demand.
But this section of the hemp market features many products, many of which you might not be aware of. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the world of CBD concentrates, introducing you to CBD dab wax, shatter and more. We’ll explain what the hype is all about, why you should care, and what products you should buy to satisfy your hemp taste buds.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in hemp plants. It makes up around 40% of the plant’s extract. Combined with a relatively simple and cost-effective extraction process, CBD has become extremely popular among hemp enthusiasts and other people hoping to experience its benefits. Because it doesn’t cause any psychoactive effects, it can be used by children or even animals, which propelled its growth even further.
You can find CBD in many different forms. Most of them are to be taken orally, such as through inhalation with CBD concentrate wax, oil tinctures, or as edibles. This variety of products, along with different substance concentrations for each of them, allows you to pick the form that best suits your needs of potency and ingestion.
CBD vs. THC
CBD is often confused with another popular cannabinoid – THC. In reality, however, they couldn’t be more different. The main thing that separates the two is the psychoactive effects caused by THC that are nowhere to be found in CBD. This difference translates to a more relaxed legal status of CBD and its wider availability on the market.
The substance is now legal in all 50 states to a varying degree. For example, if you live in Wyoming, Texas, Utah, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi, where THC remains a controlled substance, CBD dabs and other products must contain less than 0.3% of THC.
What are CBD concentrates?
Despite the innovation in technology, many people still prefer inhalation as their method of choice for intaking CBD. That’s why there are many products available on the market aimed specifically toward this broad group of hemp enthusiasts, giving them exactly what they ask for and much more, as new products and variations are being developed as we speak.
CBD concentrates take many different forms. Some of them are meant to be smoked like THC, and you’ll need a CBD dab pen to get the most out of your products. But if you don’t want to buy a tool specifically for smoking CBD, there are other solutions available for you, such as CBD vape cartridges, which you can use with most 510 thread vape pens sold on the market.
How are CBD concentrates made?
CBD concentrates are made by extracting CBD from the plant and turning it into oil through ethanol extraction. It’s the most popular extraction method for hemp, especially when it comes to CBD. This is a pure, cost-effective way to make products like CBD dab wax, which makes it safe and budget-friendly for customers like you.
The hemp extract is then winterized and distilled, depending on the desired product and governing laws, and turned into broad spectrum distillate, which can be turned into CBD dabs, CBD concentrate wax, shatter, isolate, and many more like our CBG slab. Specialists supervise the whole process to ensure the product you get is of the highest possible quality and contains no impurities. This is verified by third party lab reports.
Do CBD concentrates get you high?
Unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high no matter how much you take. This applies to any form of the cannabinoid, including CBD concentrates. Because CBD doesn’t cause any psychoactive effects, it can be taken by people of all ages, as long as the dose is adjusted properly, for them to experience the benefits.
It’s worth mentioning that some CBD products might contain up to 0.3% of THC (like our full spectrum concentrates), and while this isn’t enough to get you high, it still might show up on drug tests. Luckily, most CBD concentrates are 100% THC-free, as they are the purest CBD form you can get on the market.
Are CBD concentrates legal?
CBD is legal in all US states, with some stating explicitly that CBD products can contain up to 0.3% of THC. Those states are Wyoming, Texas, Utah, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi. Because THC is still illegal in those states, the restrictions extend to the CBD hemp industry.
But CBD concentrates are the purest form of CBD you can get. Because of that, they rarely contain any THC, which makes them legal to buy, possess, and transport in any US state. It includes transportation across state lines, which is essential for you to order CBD concentrates online and have them shipped right to your door.
Who are CBD concentrates for?
CBD concentrates are aimed primarily toward people who wish to take CBD through inhaling. The form also makes it easy to mix with THC, which is another advantage of CBD concentrates over many CBD products. If it sounds like something you’re interested in, CBD concentrates will allow you to experience new highs thanks to the combination of the two most popular cannabinoids.
Even if you don’t want to mix your CBD concentrates with cannabis, it can be a great choice because of its purity. Compared to other forms of CBD, concentrates feature high concentration levels, meaning you’ll need to buy less of the substance to achieve comparable effects, which is often a more effective solution.
CBD isolate
CBD isolate contains 99% pure CBD extract, making it the purest form of CBD available on the market. You can buy it as a white powder that can then be mixed with food, beverages, or sprinkled on your cannabis. There are different amounts available, starting from half a gram, to let you test it and see how you like your CBD isolate before buying.
Combined with a great taste, CBD isolate provides all the benefits of CBD in a cost-effective product that you can dose based on your needs and experiment with, trying to leverage the full power of hemp.
How to use CBD isolate
You can mix CBD isolate with foods or beverages and sprinkle it into your cannabis to maximize your hemp experiences. It’s easy to dose and quite potent, thanks to its 99% purity. Because of that, it usually takes relatively smaller amounts of CBD isolate to experience the desired effects, so even half a gram will last you for quite a lot of sessions.
CBD Vape Cartridges
CBD vape cartridges, or CBD carts for short, can be used with vape pens like any other cartridge. They use 510 threading (the most popular solution used in vape pens), meaning that it will work with most products available on the market. And, unlike liquids, you won’t get your hands dirty using CBD cartridges. Simply attach it to your vape pen and once you’re done, discard it and get a new cart. It’s that simple.
CBD carts feature a full spectrum of cannabinoids, including CBC, CNB, CBCA, and CBD. They’re also available in many different flavors, contain no fillers, and are the purest CBD oil form available. All of this is proved through lab tests that you can look into any time you want to make sure you know exactly what you’re taking.
How to use CBD cartridges
CBD cartridges are very easy to use. Unlike liquids, you don’t have to fill your vape pen manually. With CBD carts, all you have to do is attach the cart using the 510 threading of your vape pen, and you’re ready to go. Once you empty the cartridge, simply detach it, discard it into the waste bin. You can now take another cart, follow the process once again, and have your CBD ready within seconds.
CBD Wax Dabs
CBD dab wax is another pure CBD form available on the market. It takes the form of sticky wax, which is of different colors depending on the flavor you chose. Available flavors include pineapple, blueberry, watermelon, and much more, ready to satisfy even the most demanding tastebuds.
There are also different amounts available, making it easy to try different flavors and pick the one you like the most without spending much before discovering your favorite CBD wax dab.
How To Use CBD Wax Dabs
You can smoke CBD dab wax crumble with dab rigs. They’re available to buy in all states and are usually sold as a tobacco-only product. Sellers use this naming solely to comply with the law, and you can use the rig with CBD dabs just as easily.
Using CBD dabs can produce effects very quickly based on the nature of its concentration. Some benefits of CBD dab wax include reducing stress, easing nerves, combating nausea, assisting with sleep, and decreasing mood support.
CBD wax crumble can be smoked alone or mixed with cannabis to combine the experiences of CBD and THC. Depending on what you like and whether you’re looking for psychoactive experiences, it’s always worth considering your options here to get the most out of your CBD wax.
CBD shatter
CBD shatter is fairly similar to CBD dabs, but it has a different texture. As the name implies, it shatters when handled, making it more convenient for some people. There are many different flavors available, such as pineapple, blueberry, and strawnana, just to name a few. You can also buy your CBD shatter in different amounts, starting with half a gram, for you to try it and see how you like the experience.
How to use CBD shatter
Shatter can be used with CBD dab rigs, dab pens, or smoked in any way you like. You can mix it with cannabis or smoke it alone, depending on whether you’re looking for psychoactive experience or want to take CBD for its benefits without getting high.
It’s worth mentioning that CBD dab rigs can be purchased anywhere around the country and are usually sold as tobacco-only products for legal reasons. But they work just as well with anything, and you can use them to smoke CBD shatter in an easy and convenient way.
CBD slab
CBD slab is another concentrate that contains 99% pure CBD. It’s sold as crystal powder and can be smoked alone or mixed with cannabis. It’s an easy-to-use and affordable solution for hemp enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their money and experience the purest form of CBD while also satisfying their tastebuds with fantastic taste.
How to use CBD slab
You can smoke CBD slabs with dab rigs or mix it with cannabis in joints or bowls. There are no limits when it comes to this product. You can either use it alone, like pure CBD, or mix it with THC to get a broader range of experiences and benefits each of those cannabinoids provides.
Which CBD concentrate should I buy?
Depending on your needs, you might want to consider different CBD concentrates. For example, if you’re going to mix it with cannabis, CBD isolate, CBD dab wax, shatter, or slab will be your best choice here. Those are the products you can either smoke alone or mix with THC, depending on what you want to do for a given session.
Another thing worth considering is the equipment you own. If you vape, it makes sense to buy CBD cartridges as it won’t require any extra expenses, and you’re probably familiar with how this process works, which will only make it more enjoyable.
If you’ve never smoked CBD, however, you can choose any product you want. In this case, look for the taste that best suits your preferences and go with that, experimenting as you go and exploring even more of the CBD world that will slowly unfold in front of you.
Different Types of Concentrates
Wax comes in a variety of viscosities and textures that are known by several names.
CBD Budder:
It has an appearance and texture like butter. This wax is produced in high temperatures and high air pressure. As a result, it makes the concentrate fluffier and waxier, yet does not affect the potency of the product.
CBD Crumble:
A popular choice for experienced CBD users due to its ease of use. The extraction process for CBD Crumble starts with a purified CBD oil that has a lot of moisture and has a higher viscosity. This results in a softer substance that easily crumbles, hence the name. Steve’s Goods has the award-winning Blueberry OG crumble. It was voted the #1 CBD concentrate in Colorado by The Rooster Magazine.
CBD Live Resin:
CBD Live Resin is produced by cryogenically freezing buds, as opposed to dried trims or cured buds. By freezing the buds, it ensures greater preservation of cannabinoids and terpenes. This allows for an especially effective, tasty wax. This extensive process is very effective but is intensive in its extraction process. Thus, it is a bit more pricy than other waxes.
CBD Shatter:
CBD Shatter, although under the Wax category, is not quite a wax. During the extraction process, shatter does not fully crystallize. This lack of crystallization has a cloudy glass-like appearance. To enhance the flavor Terpenes are added to make a more affordable, tasty, fragrant treat.
How to Consume CBD Dabs and More
CBD Dabs, Isolate, Wax, and Shatter have two main ways of use. You can smoke them or consume them. CBD Isolate is a powder form, making for easy and convenient use. As it is highly versatile it can be put into anything of your choosing, from joints, blunts, bongs, and bowls. However, CBD dab wax and shatter are to be used in a dab/oil rig. It is still incredibly easy to use, so no worries needed. Dab/oil rigs are simpler.
There are two main parts
The first part is known as the “nail.” This is simply a hot surface that vaporizes your favorite extract. Secondly is the water filter, which is essentially a pipe, that allows you to filter and inhale the vapor with ease. Even though concentrates will not get you high, they will make you feel great.
Do CBD concentrates get you high?
CBD should not be confused with the psychoactive chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is associated with CBD in the Cannabis plant. Hemp is defined as a Cannabis plant containing 0.3% or less THC content of the dry product. This amount will not typically show on a urine test. Most of our concentrates further filter out all remaining THC to result in a pure product. Pure CBD will not get anyone high in any amounts.
Conclusions & Benefits
How To Use CBD Concentrates covered a lot. Everyone has their own personal preference on how they can intake something, and dabbing might just be yours. Dabbing wax is a fast and efficient way to feel the effects of CBD. Wax is an isolate; thus, it is more potent than most other forms of CBD.
Concentrates give you a quicker and comparatively powerful serving of hemp extract than do most other products. Additionally, because so little of a concentrate is needed, a concentrate can be easily infused into smoking blends, drinks, foods, creams, shampoos, or any great many other ways.
