Since it’s rise in the early medical cannabis days, dabbing has grown into its own.
Dabbing? WTF is it? I get this question more times than I can count. And every time, I find myself diving into the saga of dabbing, not just as a cannabis consumption method, but sort of a revolution that’s taken the 21-to-40-year-old stoners by storm. It’s raw kick your ass THC. It’s powerful, and it definitely isn’t for the faint of heart.
But what’s the deal with dabbing, and why has it become a cornerstone of cannabis culture? Let’s dive into the concentrate craze and uncover why dabbing is the go-to for many enthusiasts.
A Potent Experience
At the heart of dabbing’s popularity is its potency. Cannabis concentrates, such as wax, shatter, and live resin, pack a powerful punch of THC.
For those seeking a more intense experience or therapeutic benefits, dabbing offers an efficiency that smoking flower just can’t match. A little goes a long way, making it a preferred method for potency aficionados.
A lot of us remember taking our first dab and realizing this was a whole new world, coughing your asses off, then feeling the sensation behind your eyes, and then here comes the intense buzz.
A lot of newbs couldn’t handle it, going into a small panic attack, before realizing a few minutes later, it was becoming a fun ride. The bang to your buck, is pretty good when it comes to most concentrates.
The Flavor Factor
Then there’s the flavor. Dabbing at lower temperatures preserves the terpenes found in cannabis concentrates, which are compounds responsible for the plant’s aroma and taste. This means dabbers can experience a fuller, richer sensory experience, savoring the unique flavors and scents of different strains. It’s like the difference between sipping a fine wine and knocking back a generic beer.
Also, some disposable vapes we have tried have had some amazing terp flavors.
The Tech Appeal
There’s no denying the gadget appeal in the world of dabbing. From some pretty sophisticated dab rigs with multi-perks, recyclers and more. We also have had a great rise in innovation with e-nails to portable vape pens, the gear involved in dabbing has its own tech explosion. Finding the best dab rigs can be a challenge.
For all of you tech-savvy consumers, mastering the art of the perfect dab with the latest devices is part of the fun, it is for me. Plus, the innovation in this space just keeps coming, making it an exciting area for those who love to stay on the cutting edge.
A Community Connection
One thing I’ve also noticed is, dabbing isn’t just about consumption; it’s about community. The rituals associated with dabbing, like someone needing to help with the dab or torch; creates a sense of belonging and connection among enthusiasts. It’s a shared experience that builds a bit of stoner camaraderie and helps to keep that vibrant subculture we love, within the broader cannabis community.
Health and Efficiency
For medical users and those mindful of their health, dabbing offers a smokeless option that’s kinder to the lungs, (small hits) than traditional smoking. The rapid onset of effects also means immediate relief for those using cannabis for therapeutic purposes. Plus, the efficiency of dabbing reduces waste, making your stash last longer.
With dabbing, a little goes a long way. So, this makes it a great reason for using concentrates.
