Concentrates 101

From choosing an extract to working a mini blowtorch, there's a lot to learn about dabbing cannabis concentrates for the first time. This episode, Brit talks to Tommy Wu and Colin Rumsey of Happy Cabbage Farms, producers of Oregon's premium solventless rosin line, to learn how different concentrates are made, and why consumers should care about the extraction method. Then, Brit talks to Jess Gallo and Matty Prentice of Tree House Craft Cannabis in Dracut, Massachusetts to find out the difference between all the concentrate names (wax, shatter, hash, resin, diamonds, sauce, etc.,) and whether consumers should be concerned about high THC percentages. Finally, Brit visits CommCan dispensary in Millis, Massachusetts to pick up some Valley Vixen Drip wax, and to learn how to use the equipment for her first dab.
