THC shatter dabs

Shatter is a cannabis concentrate with a hard, translucent, glass-like look. It is made with a solvent, usually butane or propane, that dissolves resin out of the plant and is then purged away under gentle heat and vacuum. The extract is left largely undisturbed as it hardens, and that stillness is what lets it finish as a clear sheet instead of a cloudy one. Fresh shatter snaps when you break it, which is where the name comes from. Potency is typically high, commonly 60 to 90 percent THC. It is dabbed on a rig or nail, used in a concentrate vaporizer, or broken into pieces and added to flower. Because it is firm and stable, shatter stores flat between sheets of parchment paper. Availability depends on your state.

Clarity is temporary. Shatter is a supersaturated mix, and the cannabinoids in it slowly crystallize, a process called nucleation. Warmth, movement, residual moisture, and leftover plant fats all speed it up, so a clear slab can turn opaque and grainy on the shelf. That change affects looks and handling more than strength. Keeping it cold, flat, and sealed in parchment slows the process and preserves the snap.

Check Leafly for licensed dispensaries near you that carry shatter, and see whether delivery is offered where you live. Menus usually note the extraction solvent and link the lab results, which are worth reading before you buy.
