Understanding Shatter: A Guide for Beginners

Shatter is a popular cannabis concentrate known for its glass-like appearance and potent effects. Whether you're new to cannabis concentrates or looking to expand your knowledge, this guide will help you understand what shatter is, how to use it, and its benefits.

What is Shatter?

Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant using solvents like butane or ethanol. The result is a translucent, brittle substance that shatters easily, hence the name. Shatter is known for its high potency, often containing high levels of THC.

How is Shatter Made?

Shatter is made through a process called solvent extraction. Here's a simplified overview of the steps involved:

• Extraction: Cannabis plant material is soaked in a solvent to dissolve the cannabinoids and terpenes.
• Filtration: The solvent mixture is filtered to remove plant material.
• Purge: The solvent is evaporated, leaving behind a concentrated cannabis extract.
• Curing: The extract is cured to achieve the desired consistency and potency.

Benefits of Shatter

Shatter offers several benefits for cannabis users:

• High Potency: Shatter is known for its high THC content, providing powerful effects with a small amount.
• Purity: The extraction process removes impurities, resulting in a clean and potent product.
• Flavor: Shatter retains the terpenes from the cannabis plant, offering rich and flavorful experiences.
• Versatility: Shatter can be used in various ways, including dabbing, vaporizing, and adding to joints or bowls.
