Cannabis concentrates are among the most potent products available — and the most misunderstood. This guide explains the main types, how they are made and what distinguishes quality from substandard.

Wax and Crumble — 78–90% THC

Produced through hydrocarbon extraction followed by vacuum purging. Agitation during purging creates the characteristic waxy or crumbled texture. West Coast Treez wax tests at 78–90% THC with residual solvents below state thresholds. $30–55 per gram.

Shatter — 76–92% THC

Same extraction as wax but without agitation — producing a glass-like product. Stable, predictable and clean. West Coast Treez shatter tests at 76–92% THC. $28–50 per gram.

Live Resin — 75–88% THC, 4–7% Terpenes

The premium concentrate option. Flash-frozen freshly harvested cannabis before extraction preserves the full terpene profile lost in standard drying. Significantly higher terpene content (4–7%) and more complex flavour. West Coast Treez live resin: $55–85 per gram.

Why Lab Testing Matters Most for Concentrates

Concentrates undergo solvent-based extraction, making residual solvent testing critical. Every West Coast Treez concentrate includes a COA confirming safe residual solvent levels. Browse the full range at https://westcoasttreez.us/shop.
