What is Shatter? A Guide to the World of Cannabis Concentrate

Cannabis shatter concentrate or cannabis concentrate shatter, is a type of concentrate that is known for its glass-like texture. Like other concentrates it comes in a variety of strains and potencies. Cannabis shatter concentrate is made as both a solvent and solventless extract. Typically this cannabis shatter concentrate is extracted with food-grade solvents that are carefully purged from the extract. Once purged, what remains is a glassy crystalline concentrate of high potency cannabis extract.

Cannabis concentrate shatter can be consumed in a variety of ways, but the most popular method is via the water pipe or – ‘dabbing’ – a term coined from the rice-grain serving size – “dab” – that is typically smoked. Dabbing is typically done through a bong or water pipe that has a specialized bowl or catchment designed to vaporize that potent rice-grain sized dab of cannabis concentrate shatter. This method allows for a quick onset of effects and a strong high that can last for hours – sometimes even four hours. Of course, a dab of shatter can also be added to your pre-rolled joint or even atop your bowl of flower.
