Cannabis Concentrates: A Guide for Illinois Dispensary Shoppers

Stashouse Published 1 min read

Cannabis concentrates are highly concentrated forms of cannabis that pack a serious punch. If you have been curious about those small glass jars behind the counter, here is your guide.

Common Concentrate Types

  • Wax — Soft, opaque, waxy texture. Good starting point for new concentrate users.
  • Shatter — Hard, brittle, glass-like. High purity and clean flavor.
  • Live Resin — Made from fresh-frozen cannabis. More terpenes, fuller flavor.
  • Rosin — Solventless, made with heat and pressure. Clean and flavorful.
  • Distillate — Highly refined, nearly flavorless. Used in vape cartridges and edibles.

How Are Concentrates Used?

The most common method is dabbing using a dab rig or electronic dab device. You can also add concentrates to flower to increase potency, or use vape pens pre-filled with concentrate oil.

Who Are Concentrates For?

Concentrates are best suited for experienced cannabis users with established tolerance. The potency is significantly higher than flower — often 60-90% THC. Not recommended for first-time users.

We carry a curated selection of concentrates from top Illinois producers at our Moline and Maryville dispensaries. Order at stashouse.com.
