Dabs are also
known to contain a
very high potency and strength,
knocking other traditional cannabis products
like flower/bud and edibles out of the water.

beginners, this is an ideal product for countless medical

debilitating ailment, disease, or condition they live with.
dabbing for Cannabis Rookies and Veterans
Now, how is dabbing different from other cannabis
consumption methods, and how complicated is it? What is
especially unique about dabbing is it involves heating up
(but not burning) a very small amount of a cannabis concentrate
on a hot surface. The idea is to vaporize an exceptionally
potent cannabinoid dose, which is usually THC.
Even though cannabis connoisseurs can dab using a
dab rig, which includes other parts like a blowtorch,
water pipe, and a few metal pieces with one referred
to as a “nail,” nowadays, dab pens are the new craze
due to their versatility and discreteness. To avoid the
learning curve of traditional dabbing and the variety
of parts required to do so, many consumers opt for dab
pens, which are like vape pens and e-cigarettes. Most
dab pens sold at cannabis dispensaries contain some
type of oil, wax, or shatter.
Much like a standard vape pen, there is a heating element
in dab pens that heats up the concentrate to reach the right
temperature before the user takes a puff/hit. Dab pens are also
growing in popularity because they are portable and convenient
for on-the-go consumption. They are also much less
complicated to use and less expensive compared to an entire
dab rig and blowtorch setup.
Ways to dab Safely
Even though dabs tend to be a favorite among numerous
medical cannabis patients, they aren’t for everyone, especially
cannabis beginners and individuals who do not particularly
enjoy the high and psychoactive effects linked to THC-rich
cannabis products. Since dabs are much more potent than
different flower strains, at first, a consumer may feel overwhelmed
or uncomfortable with the strong high associated
with this type of concentrate.
Also, the volume of cannabinoids is substantially higher in
concentrated dabs than other products. On average though,
dabs are growing in popularity and usage throughout the U.S.
and Canada, especially among cannabis enthusiasts who are
unsatisfied with traditional products and their low doses.
