Concentrates

Most of you probably have no clue what you're looking at in this picture. It looks harmless right? That is enough high quality wax to keep even a seasoned pot smoker high for months. Wax is a weed's bad ass dad. Massive amounts of marijuana are put into an enclosed container and butane gas is pumped in. THC the stuff that causes an access dopamine release in the brain, separates from the plant matter and forms a goop that looks like ear wax. Quality smokeable herb can contain anywhere from 5-25% THC. What a smoker will receive depends on who they know and how deep their pocket is. Low grade wax will contain no less than 40% THC. That number tells a store by its self, anyone who has smoked marijuana can form a clear understanding of how potent this stuff must be. The picture shown above can be considered art in the drug world. Known as "shatter" this transparent hard wax is guaranteed to pack a punch. To make something like this extremely expensive vacuum and convection ovens are required, along with a solid chemistry background. Shatter can be near 100% THC concentration so even a tiny little dab can put someone on the couch for a few hours.

Dabbing is rather risky compared to smoking traditional marijuana. The legal status of a concentrate is a felony, so unless the person in possession is a medical marijuana card holder, that person is in deep trouble. Transporting this drug can be dangerous,because a torch will most likely be inside the car. In the event of a car accident that torch could explode making the matters of the situation hazardous.  

Because this is marijuana on steroids no one has died or become physically addicted. Smoking it has been popularized because of the legalization and medical use of marijuana in some states. The businesses selling it are giving the customers exactly what they want... weed products that will keep a user higher for longer. Believe it or not this stuff is not as harsh on the body compared to marijuana. Instead of smoking constantly for 10 or 20 minutes than, a user takes one or two hits and they are more than content. Technologies are improving and im not just talking about cell phones. The common idiot with access to drugs can make this stuff if they really want to. It has and will continue to be used. It's legal in some places after all.
