Flower
Ganja, bud, nug…they're all the same. The flower of the cannabis plant now typically has THC between 15 to 25 percent.
Kief
The original extract—weed dust made with
a grinder, powdery and unprocessed trichomes that run between 30 and 50 percent THC.
Hash
This crumbly substance is made from straining ground-up cannabis through ice water, which condenses the kief to have THC levels of 50 to 60 percent.
RSO
Ingestible resin that is heat extracted using
overproof liquor. It ends up being about 50
percent THC and takes the form of a sticky
tree sap usually dispensed via syringe.
Tinctures
Cannabis is infused into alcohol or
glycerin and taken under the tongue
via dropper. It's 40 to 60 percent THC
and tends to have more CBD.
Wax
Flower processed with pressure and heat to produce a hard, crumbly substance—no stickiness—that looks like a yellowish crack rock. Don't try to make it at home.
Shatter
Made through a process like the one that "yields
wax, but with higher pressure to make a malleable
substance that keeps more color and flavor.
