How to Consume Concentrates

The route of administration for cannabis concentrates varies depending on the texture or consistency of the extract.

Most concentrates can be “dabbed”, or flash vaporized, through a dab rig or nectar collector.

Some concentrates can also be added to the top of a bowl or joint, or used to make edibles.

Or you might also see concentrates in pre-filled cartridges with rechargeable or disposable vape batteries for easy and discreet consumption.
