In the business of cannabis, there are so many products to choose from that it can be overwhelming at times to know which ones are the best for your needs. Some might be in search of a euphoric high or a psychoactive effect, while others prefer to simply relax, unwind, and relieve stress or anxiety without the high that comes along with many cannabis products.
CBD concentrate is one product line that offers maximum relief of symptoms with a concentrated dose. As with many CBD products, these concentrates won’t get you high, unless they specifically state that a higher level of THC is incorporated in the product.
Just as with all cannabis products, there is a variety to choose from when considering to use concentrates.
Dosing and Potency
Concentrates can be purchased with minimal percentages up to 99 percent CBD. It should be noted that if you’re new to CBD products, you should begin with a lower dosage and work up until you feel comfortable, or until you notice a significant reduction in any pain symptoms that you’re trying to relieve.
It should also be recorded that CBD concentrates can be obtained with or without euphoria-inducing THC. Correspondingly, some consumers need a high dose of THC alongside CBD to alleviate specific conditions while other conditions may suffice a low dose or no THC at all.
Keep in mind that in many cases, particularly with 99 percent CBD concentrate, a low or “microdose” is all that’s needed to produce the desired effect.
CBD Concentrate Products
As with all cannabis products, there is a variety of concentrates available in numerous forms. Many CBD manufacturers offer forms of concentrate with a variety of potencies as well and should always be used with care, beginning with the lower dosage.
Some popular CBD products offer concentrates in the following forms:
- Dab Wax
- CBD Buds (Flower)
- CBD Isolate Slabs
- CBD Terpsolate
- CBD Oil
- Rick Simpson Oil (Phoenix Tears)
- Kief
- Vape Oil
- Tinctures
- Oil Capsules
As you can see, many popular cannabis products offer concentrates in just about every form. Still, again, it is critical to understand the potency and dosage of each type of concentrate, as each is uniquely different.
For example, a hit of 99 percent CBD wax may be all one needs to produce the desired effect, whereas one might have to ingest more than a single CBD oil capsule of the same percentage.
Choosing Your Concentrate
Here, it’s all about preference. While some may prefer the flavour and aroma of smoking CBD flower, others may prefer to pop a capsule and allow the effects to time-release throughout the day.
Additionally, each form of concentrate comes along with a unique method of consumption. Oils can be eaten, applied to the skin, and ingested via other means. Wax requires a Dab instrument to consume, whereas CBD flower requires a method for smoking it.
Once you determine which concentrates you enjoy using more, and at what dose you need to alleviate symptoms or achieve the desired effect, then you can narrow down your CBD concentrate products and choose the perfect one to fit your needs.
In closing, new cannabis users might prefer to sample a few different concentrates before they decide which method and potency is the perfect one for their lifestyle.
