Cannabis products are quickly becoming a $200 million dollar global industry. With that kind of growth, it’s no surprise that there are now an ever-growing number of cannabis products available to consumers. From edibles to topicals, vapes to tinctures, the options and uses for different cannabis products continue to grow at an exponential rate. So what are the different types of cannabis products, and what do they have in common? Keep reading to find out!
What is a Cannabis Product?
While there are a number of terms and definitions when it comes to the cannabis industry, one of the most common terms is “cannabis products.” Cannabis products can be anything that contains cannabinoids and/or other components found in the cannabis plant. Cannabis products typically fall into one of three categories: concentrates, edibles, and flowers. While all of these types of products contain cannabinoids, their molecular structures and concentrations can differ greatly. For example, flowers contain a high level of terpenes and flavonoids, while concentrates are often high in cannabinoids such as THC or CBD, but low in other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
Edibles
Edibles are one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis. Many people prefer them to smoking or vaping because they can consume more servings at a time. Edibles come in a variety of forms, including baked goods, granolas, and beverages. They can be eaten as snacks, or used to treat chronic pain or other health conditions. When choosing an edible product to consume, it is important to read the label and consult a medical professional if necessary. Edibles are typically made up of a cannabis concentrate and/or vegetable ingredients, such as corn starch or flour, that is blended with an oil, such as olive oil or butter. Edibles are usually made with no less than 10% THC, which is the chemical responsible for the “high” feeling that users experience when consumed.
Vapes
Vapes have become an increasingly popular way to consume cannabis. They are a more convenient option than smoking, and many people vaped before they even tried edibles. Vapes come in a variety of forms and styles, including dry herb vaporizers, oil vaporizers, and e-cigarettes. Dry herb vaporizers heat cannabis while using a metal coil to draw the vapor through a plastic or glass container. Oil vaporizers heat cannabis oil and use a ceramic heating element to produce vapor. E-cigarettes, or vape pens, heat cannabis and use a battery to turn a liquid solution into vapor. Vape pens come in a variety of sizes and can be used with a variety of oils, such as CBD oils. These pens are easy to use and are discrete, making them great for on-the-go use.
Tinctures
Tinctures are concentrated extracts of botanical ingredients that can be used in sublingual drops or chewable tablets. They are typically made from cannabinoids and/or terpenes, and can be taken sublingually, which means under the tongue. This allows the cannabinoids to be absorbed right through the mucous membranes in your mouth, bypassing the stomach and liver where they would be metabolized at a much slower rate. Sublingual drops are typically made from a high-concentration liquid extract. As a result, they take longer to kick in than edibles or vapes and also provide less of a high thanDoesnt have to be that way! The key to choosing a sublingual is to look for a product made with a high-concentration cannabinoid such as CBD or THC, as well as terpenes for aroma and flavor.
Concentrates
While not necessarily a separate product category, concentrates are commonly referred to as “THC-A oils” because they contain high levels of cannabinoids such as THC. Concentrates include but are not limited to hash, resin, oil, wax, budder, shatter, and CO2 oils. These products are used in a variety of ways, including for dabbing, vaping, or other applications. Depending on the product and application, concentrates can be a great choice for those who want to consume high levels of cannabinoids. For dabbing, a concentrate is typically heated and used in a vaporizer. The heat breaks down the cannabinoids and produces a vapor that can be inhaled.
Flowers and Hash
And finally, flowers and hash are just that – dried cannabis flowers and/or pressed hash oils. As mentioned, these products contain cannabinoids, but they typically have less than 5% THC and are often rich in terpenes and flavonoids. They are used in a variety of ways, including flower vaping, dabbing, or consuming flowers or hash oil with water or other liquids. Since these products contain cannabinoids, it is important to ensure that they are not from a banned strain. Some companies sell untested and unregulated products as hash or flowers. Be sure to research the source of the product you’re purchasing.
Conclusion
When considering cannabis products, you will find that there are many different types and different ways to consume them. While this can be overwhelming for some, it is important to know what type of product you are consuming and the effects it will have. When choosing what type of product to try, remember that edibles, concentrates, and vapes are all different methods of consumption, so it is important to try them all out and see what works best for you.
