The world of cannabis is rightfully exploding, more or less because some countries are now legalizing the consumption of concentrates. They are freeing from the taught restraints of government law and turning into something more manufactural and open to the public.

Because of this, there are many more concentrates available on the market for purchase than ever before. This means it can get confusing for those who are new to the game.

Today, we will discuss and compare the difference between two of the most popular live resins from the cannabis world to ensure their differences come across a bit clearer so that finding your most favorite weed concentrates will be more accessible than ever.

Extracting Methods

The methods of extraction for cannabis concentrates can indeed vary quite vastly, but don’t fret.

There are two major groups each method is categorized under to make it a little easier; these primary methods are otherwise known as non-solvent-based and solvent-bases.

This means that the extractions are either turned from solid to liquid or don’t rely on any solvents, resulting in a pure final product.

What is Budder?

Butter is also known for being called wax, a pretty popular form of cannabis concentrate.

Traditionally made with butane as its solvent to create a final state of a creamy and soft consistency, this also means that Budder is a much easier cannabis concentrate to work with than others in which are usually more complex in stature.

Budder is also known for being able to degrade more quickly than harder concentrates as it loses its potency fast.

What is Shatter?

Shatter is another well-known cannabis extract that is crystallized in concentrate. Throughout time it has become similar to an art piece with its brittle design and striking golden appearance.

Like Budder, the cannabinoids also crystallize in their concentrate and become wax-like in consistency. It is also made in the traditional way of using butane as its solvent in order to take the terpenes and cannabinoids and separate them from the plant.

The chemicals that do get extracted, on the other hand, are processed into a bitter, hard, amber substance, very unlike Budder.

This concentrate is also known for having a much higher THC level. However, it can vary based on the quality of the weed and the extraction technique; it generally comes through to over 80% of preserved THC, making the concentration very pungent.

Differences in pricing:

Thankfully both shatter and Budder cost around the same amount that is affordable for buyers. You’ll generally be spending around $25 per gram for both these concentrates and, in most cases, lower per gram if you buy in bulk.

 Some prefer Budder because of its forgiving nature and smoothness, while others shatter due to its shelf life and beautiful design.

Conclusion:

These concentrates have grown pretty popular these last few years and for multiple reasons from their effects and design. The cannabis market will always continue to change and grow when compared to the traditionality of marijuana.

Because of this, it is always best to review which products you wish to buy, as it’s always good to be a health-cautious cannabis user.
