If you're looking for next-level potency and serious flavor, cannabis concentrates are where it’s at. These bad boys hit different. We're talking about waxes, oils, shatter, budder, the good stuff. The kind of stuff that delivers a powerful, pure experience, crafted for flavor chasers and heavy hitters alike.
Here at Preston Herb Co, we’ve been in the concentrate game since 2018, straight outta Oregon.
Concentrates don’t play by the same rules as flower. Dabbing, vaping, edibles, each method brings its own vibe. So take a minute, settle in, and we’ll walk you through the best concentrates and how to enjoy them like a pro.
What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
Concentrates are just the essence of the plant. We’re talking ultra-potent extracts that deliver all the cannabinoids and terps you love, in a much stronger (and smaller) form.
Concentrates are what happens when you strip away all the extras and leave just the fire. That means cannabinoids like THC and CBD, plus tasty terpenes, all packed into forms like:
Each type has its own personality, and we make sure every batch hits the mark - pure, flavorful, and full-spectrum.
Methods of Extraction
How you make a concentrate matters big time. There are two main lanes: solvent-based and solventless.
We use both methods depending on the vibe we’re going for but always with one goal: clean, top-shelf concentrates every time.
Chemistry of Cannabis Concentrates
Here’s the secret sauce behind the effects and flavors: cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and trichomes. These compounds are your concentrate’s DNA.
THC and CBD are the big names here. THC brings the high, CBD brings the calm and concentrates crank both up to 11. Since they’re super potent, a little goes a long way. Want something relaxing? Uplifting? Deeply focused? It all comes down to the cannabinoid profile.
Terpenes are the scent-makers and flavor-shapers. Limonene, myrcene, pinene - these little compounds do more than just smell good. They help shape your high. That’s the entourage effect in action: terps and cannabinoids working together to create that perfect buzz.
At Preston, we’re terp-heads. We make sure our concentrates are terp-rich so you get those bold aromas and complex effects in every hit.
Flavonoids bring those wild colors and subtle flavors - earthy, citrusy, floral. They’re like the secret seasoning of your sesh. Trichomes? That’s where all the magic lives. These frosty little crystals on the plant hold your THC, terpenes, and more.
We treat trichomes like gold. Our extraction methods protect them so every dab delivers that full-spectrum glory.
Consumption Methods
There’s more than one way to vibe with a concentrate. Here are the main ones our crew loves:
This is the OG way. Heat your rig, drop your dab, inhale that tasty vapor. Instant effects, full flavor. Dab pens are the mobile version—clean, discreet, super convenient. If you’re about that big hit life, this is your lane.
We design our concentrates with dabbers in mind smooth melts, big clouds, rich taste.
No torch needed. Vaporizers heat your concentrate gently, bringing out the flavor without combustion. It’s easier on the lungs and lets you fine-tune your temperature. Great for those who want control with their sesh.
Yup, you can cook with concentrates too. Drop some distillate into your brownies, blend some rosin into your morning smoothie - sky’s the limit. Just remember: edibles hit slow and last long, so start low and go slow.
Health Considerations and Safety
We love concentrates, but they’re not for the unprepared. Here’s how to keep your experience smooth and safe.
Concentrates are no joke. That 70-90% THC level can sneak up on you. Start small—like a grain of rice small. Give it time. Track how you feel. Then build your way up.
If it’s not lab-tested, don’t mess with it. We test everything we make - no pesticides, no weird solvents, just pure, potent plant magic.
Legal Aspects and Accessibility
Before you stock up, make sure you’re playing by the rules. Cannabis laws change by state, city, and country. In Oregon, we’re lucky, concentrates are legal and widely available. But that’s not the case everywhere.
Wherever you are, make sure to buy from licensed shops, check age restrictions, and look for proper labeling. Legal weed = safer weed.
We’ve built our business with those rules in mind, so you know what you’re getting: clean, tested, high-quality concentrates from a team that cares.
Preservation and Storage
Want to keep your concentrate fresh, potent, and tasty? Treat it right.
We’re all about preserving flavor and effects, so we package everything with freshness in mind. Whether you’re stashing a gram of live resin or prepping some rosin for an edible batch, proper storage keeps your sesh on point.
