Cannabis Concentrates 101

Are Cannabis Concentrates Legal in Vermont?

Cannabis concentrates are legal in VT. However, there are stipulations within Act 164 that placed a cap of sorts on the amount of THC that could be in cannabis concentrates to remain within legal limits. Therefore, cannabis concentrated in VT can only contain around 60% THC. There have been efforts to lift this cap, but as of summer 2023, the cap was still in place.

What Are Cannabis Concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates are cannabis extracts that have been refined to such a state that they do not contain most of the plant matter. These highly potent extracts are created in different ways using various processes that alter their consistencies, potency levels, and flavors. Some concentrates are less processed than others, such as hash, which is the most traditional concentrate that was once always made by hand.

A Look at the Different Types of Cannabis Concentrates

Cannabis concentrates come in an interesting array of different forms. The consistency of the end concentrate varies depending on the processes used to create them. For example, bubble hash is a bit crumbly and sticky as it is primarily made by separating the trichomes from the cannabis flower. Other types of cannabis concentrates include:

• Rosin
• Resin
• Kief
• Wax
• Shatter

How Do You Use Cannabis Concentrates?

Using cannabis concentrates is a wholly different experience than smoking flower. The concentrates are so potent that you only need a tiny amount, which is why concentrates are commonly referred to as “dabs.” A dab rig, vaporizer, or vape pen are common tools for dabbing. With any of these tools, the dab is heated to a vaporization point and you inhale the vapors. You can also add a bit of concentrate to a bowl or joint. Remember, start low and go slow to gauge your tolerance. Concentrates pack a punch, so moderation is key.
