Mellow Fellow THCa Budder – Reba Jam (2 gram)

What is THCa?

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid and it is the biosynthetic precursor to the well-known Delta 9. This cannabinoid differs from other psychoactive cannabinoids because it must have a heated temperature above three hundred degrees to be activated. When THCa is eaten raw, there are no psychoactive effects. The human body does not get hot enough to convert, or decarboxylate, THCa. The effects must be activated with higher heat from a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. Once converted, Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system to produce the psychoactive effects. Research also shows that Delta 9 THC has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.

What is Budder?

Connoisseurs and aficionados regularly seek out potent concentrates like THCa budder. It has a rich aroma and taste with a potency of 54% – 90% THCa. This concentrate got its name because it has the look and feel of soft frosting or whipped butter. It is sticky and best handled with a dab tool. Using dried or fresh frozen cannabis, the finished product usually is sandy brown or a dark shade of golden yellow. However, there may be some variation due to processing and storage.

How is THCa Budder Made?

Budder is crafted in a closed-loop extraction process using either dried or flash-frozen flower. When frozen flower is used, the final product is called ‘live budder.’ Creating this cannabis product begins by extracting the cannabinoids and terpenes. To do this, the flower is submerged in a solvent, such as ethanol, butane, or CO2. This mixture is heated and pressurized until a crude extract forms. Next, this extract is purged of residual solvents using low heat in a vacuum. This step solidifies the concentration. For the last step, the concentrate is melted back into oil and whipped, removing any remaining solvent and creating air pockets.

What is the Difference Between Budder, Shatter, and Diamonds?

There are differences in processing, appearance, and potency, but all of these concentrates are enjoyed for their aromatic terpene profile.

Budder: Called wax by many, budder can have a potency of 54% – 90%. It uses a solvent-based extraction method and yields a creamy sandy to amber-colored melted wax-like substance.

Shatter: This can reach a potency of 90% THCa. It also is created using a solvent-based extract and the color is a translucent amber. It is very brittle.

Diamonds: This concentrate can reach a potency of 100% THCa. There are no aromatics unless added after crafting the diamonds. This concentrate uses a closed-loop extraction or crystalline method. The result is transparent and resembles smaller crystals.

How Do You Smoke Wax, Shatter, and Budder?

Many beginners smoke wax, shatter, or badder on a bowl of flower. Many use the layering method to go about this. Pack a bowl with a small amount of flower, then add the concentrate, and top it off with another small layer of flower. This keeps the flame from directly touching the concentrate, allowing it to vaporize instead of burn.

Experienced enthusiasts like to use a dab rig. This method is a little more expensive because it is a water bong with a crystal-bottom bowl. Dab rigs also require a torch. To use a dab rig, heat the bowl with the torch for a few seconds. Then, add a tiny amount of concentrate into the bowl using a dab tool. Quickly place a vented cap on top because the concentrate will instantly vaporize. Finally, inhale the vapor through the water bong.

The preferred method of dabbing is using an electric vaporizer, known as a dab pen or wax pen. These can be more expensive than a dab rig, but many say the price is worth it for the terpene flavor. These are battery-operated devices that can be set to a desired temperature and stay at that temperature for a few minutes. This vaporizes the concentrate and allows the vapor to be inhaled before shutting down.
