What are Marijuana Concentrates?

Marijuana concentrates, also known as THC Extractions, are becoming increasingly popular among marijuana users today. They contain high levels of THC, up to 4x stronger than in marijuana.

Is Dabbing Safer?

  • Many people believe that it is safer since due to the high potency, less needs to be taken to produce the 'high'
  • This method may increase the risk for dependence and intensify withdrawal symptoms
  • It can lead to a higher risk of psychosis as well
Extraction is done using butane (lighter fluid). Due to the nature of the other compounds used during the process, this can become a recipe for explosions. 

FEMA has released warnings about the dangers of extraction.
(Center on Addiction)
Using vaping devices to smoke this form of THC is an increasing trend. This makes the drug easily accessible in a variety of public settings.
