What is a Shatter (CBD-THC)?

Shatter is a kind of cannabis extract that appears solid but transparent, giving the impression that it might be broken up like glass. It is possible to prepare the material in such a way that it takes on the look of glass by using solvents such as butane or other types of hydrocarbons.

Shatter is a highly concentrated, compact form of cannabis that is often dabbed or smoked. It is named after the main chemicals it focuses on, such as THC and CBD, and it gives the advantages of cannabis.

 

The cannabis concentrate known as shatter gets its name from the glass-like hardness of its consistency, which, when broken apart, tends to shatter into little pieces. Golden or amber is the hue that most often describes it.

Although it is often assumed that shatter is more powerful or pure than other forms of extracts, this is not necessarily the case. Instead, the appearance of shatter is only attributable to the molecules of the extract being less disturbed throughout the manufacturing process.

 

Dabbing is the most common way to consume shatter. Dabbing is a form of ingestion that includes rapidly vaporizing the substance off of a customized water pipe known as a dab rig.

Although it has a reputation for being powerful, the actual strength of this extract might vary based on the chemical makeup of the plant that it was extracted from, as well as the extraction method, apparatus, and procedures that were employed. In contrast to cannabis flowers, which typically have a maximum THC content of around 30%, shatter extracts may have a THC content that ranges from 80% to 90%.

 

How is it that shatter is created?

There are a number of different manufacturing processes that may be used to make shatter. However, butane or other hydrocarbon solvents are commonly the ones that are used. BHO is an abbreviation for "butane hash oil," which is another name for butane extracts.

Cannabis is often placed within a tube during the production of BHO. Butane or other hydrocarbons are then forced through the plant material, removing desired components like THC and CBD. The oil that has been concentrated is then collected, and other procedures may be used to refine it further.

 

For instance, "winterization" refers to the process of separating fats and lipids from the oil, while "purging" refers to the removal of excess residual solvents using a vacuum chamber. Both of these processes are part of the refining process.

 

Because butane fumes are easily combustible, it is inadvisable to attempt the production of shatter or any other sort of BHO at home using a do-it-yourself setup. Explosions have occurred accidentally as a consequence of people trying to produce BHO in the comfort of their own homes. The production of shatter of professional quality makes use of secure closed-loop systems that stop toxic fumes from escaping into the surrounding atmosphere.

 

The distinction between shatter and wax

The term "shatter" is used to describe cannabis extracts that solidify into a glass-like consistency, in contrast to waxes that are softer and more pliable. The distinction between wax and shatter is essentially one of appearance; it is nothing more than a stylistic distinction that is brought about by a difference in the degree of molecular agitation. Because the molecules in the extract were not disturbed throughout the production of shatter, it is able to keep its glass-like consistency. On the other hand, the processing of wax caused the molecules to become agitated. 

 

The degree of transparency that can be reached throughout the manufacturing process does not represent the degree of potency that can be attained with the extract. To put it another way, it is not always the case that shatters have a more significant concentration of THC than wax, and vice versa. Referring to the lab findings of the specific items sold at your neighborhood dispensary is the best way to figure out the strength of any particular extract as well as its chemical makeup.

 

 

HOW TO USE SHATTER TO TAKE THE HEAVIEST HITS IN THE GAME

 The easiesat way is to use the Legacy PRO SE

 

It's not always about the size of things! Even a small amount of shatter, roughly the size of a grain of rice, may give a significant amount of THC in a single hit.

 

Regarding the high levels of THC, the legal markets mandate that the strength of both THC and CBD must be included in the package of cannabis concentrates.

Consider the following scenario: you have one gram of hash rosin or other whole-plant cannabis extracts, and you desire one dab that has 25 mg of THC. If it contains 80% total THC, then there will be 800 mg of THC in one gram. This is because 80% of 1,000 mg equals 800 mg; thus, there will be 800 mg of THC in one gram. You will have eight doses of 100 mg THC each if you divide your gram into eight equal pieces and divide each piece into eighths.

 

Don't forget that the strength of your dosage is all up to you; remember what we mentioned about how just a little bit may go a long way!
