Cannabis concentrates are products made by separating and collecting cannabinoid- and terpene-rich compounds from cannabis plant material. Depending on the production process, the resulting extract may be sticky, crystalline, creamy, brittle, or oil-like.
Unlike cannabis flower, which retains much of the original plant structure, concentrates contain a more concentrated portion of the plant's chemical compounds. Many extracts have higher THC concentrations than flower, making potency information especially important when comparing products.
Two major production approaches are solvent-based extraction and solventless processing. Solvent-based methods use approved extraction solvents under controlled manufacturing conditions, while solventless methods rely on processes such as mechanical pressure, heat, or physical separation. These approaches can produce different textures and cannabinoid profiles.
Terms such as live resin, rosin, shatter, badder, and diamonds describe aspects of the extraction process, texture, or finished product. They do not automatically establish quality or strength. Laboratory results, product freshness, manufacturing practices, and terpene information offer additional context.
