The world has seen innumerable breakthroughs in science and technology over the last few centuries. While these discoveries are greatly celebrated and widely talked about, there also exists a long thread of developments not quite known to many: breakthroughs in the world of cannabis run almost parallel to findings in everyday science. The ever-growing number of ways to consume cannabis is a strong testament to that.  

Shatter is only one of the countless highly potent forms of cannabis that’s typically a favorite of dabbers. It is similar to budder, except it is made from extracting the THC from your weed with a solvent to purify it, and it’s also more potent. The process also removes any chlorophyll and waxes that are present. The final product will be high potency resin that can be produced at 80-90% THC.

Since it’s a relatively new way to take marijuana, it comes as no surprise that many people are only now finding out about it. It could even well be the reason you’re looking it up!

Luckily, we have the answers, and we can even lead you to where you can buy shatter in Toronto.

How Shatter Looks Like

Shatter can come in a few different forms, with the color ranging from translucent amber to jet black. The most common type of shatter available on the current market is clear or transparent and looks like hardening glass. 

In the simplest terms, shatter is like a thin sheet of ice cubes made out of weed.

How to Use Shatter

The most common way to use shatter would be with a rig.

Dab rigs are a great way to enjoy your shatter, but they’re not for the inexperienced. This type of water pipe has only one main chamber that’s typically made out of glass so it can withstand high heat without being damaged and includes an attachment called a nail or skillet where you’ll heat up your concentrates before smoking them.

A dab rig is essentially just like any other kind of bong except there’s no need for ice in this case because we already have our cooling agent built-in—remember the nail?

Here’s how it works:

1. Heat up the nail with your blowtorch.
2. Place the shatter on top.
3. Cover everything in what’s called an “oil dome.”
4. Inhale through the mouthpiece at whatever pace feels right for you.
5. The hot oil vaporizes (turns into “smoke) while all that good stuff stays inside you because of its water chamber design.

That seems nice, yes, but what if you don’t have a rig?

Here’s some good news: there are more ways to use shatter that don’t involve using an expensive dab rig (that you may or may not be saving up for!).

Let’s look at each one of these other options:

• Smoke shatter with a bong by mixing a few drops of shatter into your ground up weed and then smoking it up like you normally would.
• You can also use a joint to smoke shatter by sprinkling some of it onto the stuff while you’re rolling. Be careful not to get it near the ends so the flame doesn’t interfere with the shatter.
• The trusty old pipe is also another easy way to use shatter. Just like the other two options, you can add a bit of shatter into your bowl and smoke away just like you would any day.

Effects of Shatter

Aside from a relatively hassle-free smoking experience, the reason why people smoke shatter is that it has no plant material and only consists purely of THC or CBD oils which makes for an amazing experience without any unwanted side effects such as headaches or cottonmouth… 

Because of its ultra pure content, its potent effects are longer lasting than that of other forms of cannabis.

Keeping that in mind, newbie shatter users must be careful not to take it in extreme amounts as too much of it may cause not-so-nice highs like paranoia and anxiety.

Benefits of Using Shatter

Nothing is ever perfect. In the case of marijuana, no single method of consuming it is the only correct way. In other words, all the ways that you could possibly use cannabis have both pros and cons, and it’s mostly dependent on whether or not proper safety guidelines are observed.

We’ve already discussed the bad that may come out of using shatter. It’s time to find out what makes it so good (and why dabbers love it so much).

• Shatter gets you high—fast. For CBD users, shatter is a godsend with the instant relief  from debilitating pain that it affords them.
• A smoke-free affair equates to a lung-friendlier experience. It also means no odor, which is such a huge deal especially if you’re worried about the people around you.
• Shatter has a long shelf-life, so you can keep it stowed away for quite some time before it spoils or gets moldy.
• Shatter is also wallet-friendly. It’s one of the most affordable cannabis concentrates out there.

Most of the shatter’s top fans are patients who need quick relief from unpleasant feelings (like physical pain or mental tyrants like depression and stress), seasoned marijuana users who are in search of a more solid high, and naturally curious people who want to see what the buzz around dabs and shatter is about.

With all that said, we still believe that you can never know unless you try it for yourself, and there’s absolutely no shame in diving into something new. Just make sure you get the right products from the right places and you will be in for an awesome high.
