What Is 'Shatter' and Is It the Future of Marijuana?
The glassy, pot-derived extract can pack THC concentrations of up to 80 percent.
Pot smokers looking for a heavier-hitting high are turning to “Shatter,” a weed concentrate that packs up to 80 percent cannabinoid content. A smooth, glassy substance that’s significantly more potent when smoked but is still, ultimately, a marijuana derivative and thus not particularly unsafe. Shatter is just one form of dabs, the catch-all term for marijuana concentrates produced by extracting cannabinoids like THC the plant’s psychoactive chemicals and CBD, Other well-known forms include “budder,” which has a creamier, wax-like consistency, and oils, which are golden and honey-like. For all dabs, extraction involves running a solvent — usually butane, carbon dioxide, or propane — through marijuana buds to pull out the cannabinoids, then evaporating the solvent and gathering the resins left behind. ------------------ The term “shatter” is derived from the fact that the leftover resin is often cooled into a glassy sheet, similar to boiled caramel hardening into candy. When dropped, the sheet — surprise — shatters. On the street, users are more likely to buy it in a thick, taffy-like form that sells for $60-70 per gram.
Of all the concentrates, shatter is the most potent — it goes through an additional filtration process to get rid of other naturally occurring fats and waxes — which is how it manages to pack its active ingredients in crazy high amounts (regular weed, when smoked, only has about 5-28 percent cannabinoid content). While this extra step optimizes purity, it also filters out the dank hydrocarbons known as terpenes, which make up marijuana’s flavor and scent. --Smoking shatter is a fairly involved and relatively expensive process that, if you’re serious about it, involves a glass psuedo-bong known as a “rig.” (You can crumble it up into a joint, but that, as The Cannabist put it, is for cavemen.) These devices, which range from $50-200 apiece, have a glass “nail” where you’d usually find a bowl. Users heat the nail to about 575-625 degrees Fahrenheit with a butane torch then use a metal dabber (essentially a heat-proof toothpick) to apply a ball of shatter to the nail. The result is instant vaporization — and a potentially overwhelming high.
While pot advocates insist that nobody’s ever died from smoking too much shatter, they are well aware of its potency — and warn first-timers against biting off more than they can chew.
