Concentrates (Dab, Wax) vs Classic Flower: Who They're For and When

An experienced customer asked why some concentrated CBD products were so much more expensive than classic flower, curious whether the difference really justified the price for his use.

What a concentrate actually is

A concentrate like wax is the result of an extraction process that isolates a large share of the plant's cannabinoids and terpenes, in a much denser form than raw flower. The CBD content is much higher for the same amount of material.

A format designed for experienced users

Using a concentrate requires specific equipment, such as a dab rig, and some practice to dose correctly given the high concentration. It's clearly not the ideal starting point for someone discovering CBD.

Classic flower: more accessible and versatile

For simple daily use, flower remains easier to dose and to use in different ways, from a pipe to a vaporizer. Concentrates mainly suit regular users looking for a more intense experience, or better value per gram of pure CBD.

"I wanted to try a concentrate when I was starting out – the experience was far too intense for me. I went back to classic flower, which is more than enough for what I'm looking for."
