Extracts

What separates one extract from another

Every product here is cannabis with the plant matter taken away. What changes is how it was removed, and that decides the texture, the flavour and the price.

Extract	Made by	Texture	Known for
Shatter	Solvent, purged flat	Glass, snaps	The cheap, strong classic
Live resin	Solvent, from frozen fresh plant	Sauce	Terpenes, because it was never dried
Diamonds	Solvent, crystallised	Crystals	The highest THCA on the shelf
Hash rosin	Heat and pressure only	Butter	No solvent used at any stage

Prices run $34 for shatter, $60 for live resin, $65 for diamonds and $69 for rosin. That order is also roughly the order of how much work each takes to produce.

Live resin, and why fresh-frozen matters

Most extract is made from dried, cured flower. Live resin is made from plants frozen straight after harvest, before drying takes anything away.

Drying is where the volatile terpenes go. Skip it, and the extract keeps the smell of the living plant — which is the entire reason live resin costs more than shatter made from the same genetics.

Solventless, and what that actually means

Shatter, resin and diamonds are made with a solvent — butane, propane, ethanol or CO2 — which is then purged out. Done properly, nothing meaningful remains.

Hash rosin never uses one. It’s ice water, heat and pressure, and that’s it. It costs the most here because the yield is lowest and the process is the fussiest, and it’s what people buy when they’d rather no solvent touched the product at any point.

Tinctures — the extract you don’t smoke

Same concentrate idea, delivered under the tongue instead of through a rig. THC at 1000mg or 4000mg, and CBD at 1000mg or 3000mg.

Dosing is by dropper, which makes it the most precise format in the catalogue — you can move in fractions of a millilitre rather than whole gummies. Held under the tongue it comes on faster than an edible; swallowed, it behaves like one.

How concentrates compare to flower

An extract is several times stronger than the flower it came from, by weight. A gram of shatter is not a gram of bud, and treating it that way is how people end up on the floor.

You need equipment too — a rig, a banger, a torch or an e-nail — unless you’re adding it to a joint. If that’s a barrier, a 510 cartridge is distillate in a form that needs nothing but a battery, and infused pre-rolls put concentrate into something you can just light.

Temperature is most of the experience

Low and slow keeps the flavour. Hot and fast wastes the terpenes you paid for and gives you the harsh, scorched hit people associate with dabbing badly.

For anything terpene-rich — live resin, rosin — let the banger cool noticeably after heating. If you can taste the difference between one dab and the next, temperature is usually why.

Storing extracts

Cold and dark. Heat degrades concentrate fast and turns shatter into a sticky mess that’s hard to handle. The fridge is fine for anything you’re not getting through quickly, though let it come back to room temperature before opening so condensation doesn’t form on it.
