Intentionally made to preserve high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes, concentrates are
known to be pure and potent. That can be intimidating! But more and more people have become
comfortable with dab rigs, and new technology has made it easier to experience concentrates (think portable/handheld vaporizers). But before you arrive at a dab bar or purchase rosin, learn the lingo… and let your fear dissipate like vapor.

Concentrates are a potent cannabis-derived product that packs a punch. While you can vape, dab,
smoke, ingest or sprinkle concentrate on a joint/blunt, start with a low dose and gradually work
your way up to an optimal dose (otherwise known as titrating).

NOTE: A green or dark tint may mean there is plant matter in the concentrate, which lowers the
potency.

NOTE: The best fat carriers for cooking cannabis? Butter and cooking oils. Coconut oil, for
example, contains higher amounts of fatty acids, which help to effectively bind and preserve
cannabinoids.

Remember, concentrates don’t have to be scary! They are flavorful, smooth, and surprisingly
cost-effective. A little goes a long way.
