“Live” concentrates are made with cannabis that has been immediately flash frozen after harvest to preserve more of the cannabinoid and terpene content. Use live resin as soon as possible, since these types of extracts are highly perishable.

Full Spectrum means a broad array of cannabinoids and other plant compounds, including terpenes, which provide an enhanced cannabis flavor and provide deeper effects.

Solventless is a term used for any cannabis concentrate that was produced without the use of a solvent (ethanol, butante, propane, etc). Solventless concentrates include hash, temple ball rosin and live rosin.

Concentrates should be kept in a cool dry place.

THC Concentrate Varieties

 

Kief

KindPeoples THC Concentrate Kief

Kief is created by “dry sifting,” tumbling cannabis flowers, or trimming to shake the resin away from the plant matter. Kief still contains a significant portion of plant material. These loose resin crystals can be sprinkled into a joint, eaten, vaporized, or smoked as-is.

Hash

THC Concentrate Hash KindPeoples Santa Cruz

Hash comes crumbly, in patty form, or rolled into a ball. The distinction between types of hash is due to how it is processed. Some hash makers Microplane their hash patties to increase the surface area, allowing a cohesive dryness that improves the color and taste. Bubble hash is solventless and is made with an ice extraction method.

Temple Ball

KindPeoples Santa Cruz Temple Ball Concentrate

Temple Ball is reminiscent of the smoky-rich, hand-rolled charas originating from the Indian subcontinent. Typically prepared by gently warming crumbly hash and rolling it into a ball, a temple ball is also a by-product of hand-harvesting sticky buds.

Sauce

Rosin

KindPeoples THC Concentrate Live Rosin

Rosin is a solventless concentrate created by processing trim, flower, kief, or hash using pressure and heat. When compressed, the cannabis material oozes resin, which is then collected to create a fresh extract that is suitable for dabbing.

Sugar

KindPeoples Weed Dispensary Concentrate Sugar

Sugar is the result of leaving shatter to cure. The naturally occurring terpenes break down the shatter and transform it into a flavorful, sugar-like extract.

Shatter

KindPeoples THC Concentrate Shatter

Shatter is made using a solvent-based process to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plant material. The extracted oil is then heated in a vacuum, which evaporates the solvent, leaving a highly concentrated cannabis oil with an amber glass-like consistency that is easy to break apart to vape or dab.

Live Resin

KindPeoples Santa Cruz Live Resin

Live Resin is a whole plant extraction where ripe flowers are frozen immediately after harvest to preserve as much cannabinoid and terpene content as possible. The frozen plants are put through a solvent-based process. Live resin is considered a full-spectrum product.

Budder

KindPeoples Budder Concentrate

Budder is also made using a solvent-based process to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plant material. Unlike shatter, budder has a more waxy, “buttery” consistency. It tends to degrade quicker than shatter, so it should be used soon after purchase to enjoy its full potency.
