If you’re looking for a super potent CBD experience, then concentrates are the way to go. Concentrates are the end result of removing all the extra plant material, waxes and lipids that come from non-flower hemp and cannabis plants to create a more refined and pure product. They’re used to infuse all the CBD products you love from gummies and facial serums, to vape juices and tinctures.

CBD concentrates are a great option for anyone who wants to experience the entourage effect. The entourage effect refers to the synergy of different compounds found in a cannabis plant, and it maximizes the benefits of the endocannabinoid system. Concentrates are also more potent than other forms of CBD, so you only need a small amount to feel the effects.

The most common way to use a concentrate is by inhalation. This can be done using a dab rig or a vape pen. The results last from two to four hours depending on the method of ingestion. You can also melt a concentrate into butter or oil and add it to tinctures, edibles, creams or balms.

If you’re new to concentrates, we suggest starting off with a low dose and working your way up over time. This is especially important if you’re taking any other medications, as CBD can interact with some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and some antidepressants. Always check a product’s Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure that it is safe and contains no contaminants like solvents or pesticides.
