Scientists identify more than 100 different terpenes. These natural compounds are called terpenes. Therefore, almost all shatter contains some form of resin and the other naturally occurring oils and fats found in the cannabis plant. In most cases, processing plant materials with water alone will not produce a usable product. Resin is also what gives cannabis its flavor and aroma. Dried cannabis falls apart into powdery dust without resin or any other binding agent. Resin is considered both the “glue” that holds the different elements of the flower together and the source of much of the cannabis plant’s natural medicine. The primary ingredients in shatter are plant resin (aka cannabis bud) and water. Whether you smoke the low-quality product by itself or incorporate it into a food or other dabble form, it is true.Ĭannabis connoisseurs often describe the experience of smoking high-quality shatter as being like “smoking honey. It has a pleasant herbal aroma and a soft, slightly sweet taste.Īs with any other cannabis concentrate, the effects of high-quality shatter are dramatically superior to those of low-quality shatter. This type of shatter is clear, with a honeyed golden color. Using low-quality bud as the substrate for shatter will result in a lower-quality end product.Ī high-quality, top-shelf shatter is very similar to the quality of material used to produce “gold” or “sugar” forms of cannabis concentrates. It is the raw material used to make “crack” or “slang” (powder) forms of cannabis concentrates.Īs with any other concentrate, the quality of the starting material used to make shatter directly affects the quality of the finished product. When BHO (Bubble Hash Oil) is heated, it produces vapor that cools back down into a clear, glass-like substance called shatter. Conversely, THCA is solid at room temperature and is prone to decomposition. THC is a juicy oil at room temperature, giving products with a high THC content a sticky texture. Shatters with high THC levels tend to be juicier than their precursor, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA).
This set of textures provides some clues about the cannabinoid profile of each product. Some are very fragile others are pull-and-click consistent, like toffee. The shatters may appear to be visually consistent, but the physical texture of the shatters varies from product to product. It is one of many forms that BHOs can take. The shatter is usually translucent and can range in color from the amber color of clear honey to a deep yellow shade similar to olive oil. Shatter is a variety of cannabis concentrates produced by treating plant materials with solvents.
