Cannabis Concentrates
For veteran cannabis users, there's a lot more to cannabis than just its flowers. There is a whole universe of cannabis products that have become widely available in the market since cannabis' legalization in Canada.
Within those products, there's a whole range of cannabis concentrates available to purchase now; some of which are exponentially more potent than their flower counterparts.
Because they're so strong, cannabis concentrates can be intimidating; especially for people who don't have a lot of cannabis experience.
That's why House of Cannabis is committed to making sure that you understand the differences between these different forms of cannabis concentrates and extracts. We never want you to purchase something that you can't or won't be able to enjoy; so, we've put together some basic information on a few of the different cannabis concentrates we carry.
CANNABIS HASH
Possibly the oldest and most traditionally used cannabis concentrate is cannabis hash, or simply 'hash'.
Cannabis hash in its simplest form is simply a collected and compacted group of cannabis trichomes (the crystals or 'kief' that you can find in the bottom compart of high-quality weed grinders).
Crush together to form a dense solid, hash is very potent compared to smoking cannabis flowers. It's also known to bring on a strong, body-focused buzz that makes your whole body feel like it's floating.
Best of all, this is one of the only forms of cannabis concentrates that doesn't require any special kinds of equipment to use. Simply break off a little piece and place it onto the top of a bowl, or roll it into the center of a joint and enjoy!
What is Shatter?
WEED SHATTER & WAX

What is Live Resin?
LIVE RESIN
Possibly the strongest form of cannabis concentrate, live resin can test as high as 96% THC! That's insanely powerful stuff.
Unlike other cannabis concentrates like shatter or wax, live resin is produced using cannabis that hasn't been dried or cured yet. This allows for it to retain an unmatched number of terpenes, flavonoids and other important chemicals from the cannabis plant.
For veteran cannabis users, live resin could be considered the holy grail of cannabis concentrates, because of its incredibly high THC retention. That same factor, however, makes it the riskiest product for new cannabis users to try; especially before they've had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with cannabis and how it affects them personally.
