Cannabis comes in many shapes and forms. One form, known as budder, is a cannabis concentrate with a texture similar to frosting. It’s not a liquid or a solid. Weed butter has a texture kind of like peanut butter. Many cannabis users enjoy using weed budder as it has a high THC content (between 80 to 90%). Of all the types of concentrates, users describe weed budder as the most flavorful.
How is Weed Budder Made?
Weed budder has been around since the 1990s. To create weed budder, a chemical solvent is needed to extract the THC. Some examples of chemical solvents used include butane or CO2. After the solvent is blasted through the weed, the extract is collected, and the remaining solvent is purged. This process involves using air pressure and heat for extraction. Then, cannabinoids will begin to crystalize to become “budder”. Budder is considered a very pure form of cannabis, as it doesn’t contain any solvents, toxins, or metals. Thus, this is why many users enjoy the flavor of weed budder.
How is Weed Budder Used?
Budder can be enjoyed in various ways. For example, some dabbers choose to dab weed budder since it’s quite easy. This method involves vaporizing the weed budder using a heated surface and then inhaling. You’ll need a nail (quartz preferably) for this method. This method involves using a low temperature.
Another common way to use weed budder is by using a vaporizer. Simple or complex vaporizers will both work, depending on what you have on hand. The process is similar to dabbing. However, the tool makes it a bit easier. Simply load your weed budder into the vaporizer, heat to around 300 degrees, and inhale.
Water pipes or bongs are another way users consume weed budder. Place the budder on your bowl and inhale. If you are used to heating traditional weed flower, be patient as lighting weed budder may take some more time. Weed budder has a higher melting point than flower. Weed budder can also be used to make edible; however, using this will mask the rich flavors.
Weed Budder vs. Cannabutter
Newbies might get these two products confused as they sound similar. However, these are two different products. Weed budder is a solvent-based cannabis concenrate that uses heat and pressure to extract. In contrast, cannabutter is a cooking product used in various recipes.
Why People Use Weed Budder
While there are many options for weed concentrates, weed budder is widely popular. Since it has a high THC content, it’s attractive to many users. In addition, weed budder smells delicious (due to the high terpene content). Weed budder that is extracted using CO2 is safer than using butane.
If attempting to extract yourself, take caution. DIY caution can be quite dangerous if handled improperly. Many users also enjoy using weed budder due to its versatility. It can be used to vape, dab, take hits, and more. There are so many options when it comes to using weed budder!
