Types of cannabis concentrates

TypeHow it is madeTexture and flavour
HashResin collected by sieving or by hand and pressed — solventlessSoft to firm blocks; earthy, spicy, sweet
KiefLoose resin glands sifted from flower — solventlessPowdery; the flower’s own aroma
ShatterSolvent extraction, purged carefullyClear, brittle, glass-like
Budder, crumble, waxSolvent extraction with different handlingCreamy, dry-crumbly or soft and opaque
Live resinFresh-frozen plant, solvent extractionSaucy to badder-like; the most terpene-rich
RosinHeat and pressure, no solventSap-like to honey-like
DistillateRefined oil, mostly cannabinoidsClear to golden; little flavour
CaviarFlower dipped in oil and rolled in kiefSticky nugs; slow-burning

Solvent-based or solventless?

Solvent-based concentrates use butane, propane, ethanol or CO₂ to strip the resin from the plant, then remove the solvent with heat and vacuum. Quality depends on how well the solvent is purged, which is why a lab certificate showing residual solvents matters. Solventless concentrates use only heat, pressure, water, ice or mechanical sieving; they are generally seen as the premium tier, but heat and pressure can drive off delicate terpenes.

How strong are they?

Flower commonly tests at 15–30% THC. Concentrates commonly range from roughly 60% to 90%, with isolates and crystalline THCA near 100%, although sources disagree on each type and kief and hash tend to sit lower, around 50–80%. The names mostly describe texture and method, not strength, so only the lab result for the batch is reliable. Health Canada advises that new or occasional users avoid extracts because of the greater risk of serious adverse effects.

Dosing and safety

  • A common starting amount is about the size of a grain of rice, and effects of dabbed or vaporized concentrates can arrive within minutes — wait before taking more.
  • Do not make butane extracts at home: flammable solvents cause serious burns and fires.
  • Let hot glass, nails and chambers cool completely before touching them, and keep flames away from flammables.
  • High-potency products carry a higher risk of anxiety and dependence; talk to a health professional if you have concerns.

Storing concentrates

Keep them sealed in a cool, dark place; heat softens and degrades them, and light speeds up breakdown. Keep every product out of reach of children and pets. You must be of legal age in your province: 19 in most of Canada, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec.

FAQ: Concentrates

What are cannabis concentrates?
Concentrates are extracts that keep the resin of the plant and remove most of the plant material, making them much stronger than flower. Common types are hash, shatter, live resin, budder, crumble and distillate.
How strong are concentrates?
Concentrates commonly range from roughly 60% to 90% THC, compared with about 15–30% for flower. Hash and kief tend to sit lower. Start with a very small amount.
Which concentrate is best for beginners?
Many people start with hash or kief, which are milder, and use a crumb-sized amount. Health Canada advises new or occasional users to avoid extracts, so begin small and wait whatever you choose.
What is the difference between solvent-based and solventless?
Solvent-based extracts use a solvent such as butane, ethanol or CO₂ and then purge it; solventless products use only heat, pressure, water or sieving. Ask for a lab certificate for solvent-based products.
What is the difference between shatter and live resin?
Shatter is usually made from dried, cured cannabis and is clear and brittle. Live resin is made from fresh-frozen plants to keep more terpenes, so it is often softer and more flavourful.
How do I store concentrates?
Airtight container, cool and dark. Heat and light soften and degrade them over time.
How old do I need to be?
You must be of legal age in your province: 19 in most of Canada, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec.
