Marijuana Flowers

Flowers will generally either be Sativas, Indicas or hybrids of the two. In general, Sativa flowers impart energy to its users, whereas Indicas are typically heavy on the body.

Marijuana Concentrates
Concentrates are processed forms of marijuana that have extremely elevated levels of THC. They come in many forms and are more expensive by weight than marijuana flowers. Many of the concentrates, such as shatter and crumble, are produced using solvents such as butane and isopropyl alcohol, while other concentrates are extracted using the gas CO2. There are also marijuana concentrates available that are produced without the use of solvents or gas, like rosin. Instead, heat and pressure are used.
Marijuana Tinctures
Tinctures are liquids that contain high levels of THC or CBD. They are made by submerging marijuana flowers into a THC or CBD soluble liquid.
