It is exceptionally strong, often containing 70% to 80% THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis), compared to the 10% to 25% found in standard cannabis flower.
Texture: Unlike sticky waxes or oily resins, shatter is hard and smooth because its molecules are left undisturbed during the cooling process, preventing crystallization.
Shatter is known by several different names including shatter wax, cannabis shatter, and shatter weed. Shatter is amber in color, semitransparent, and has a brittle, glass-like texture.
The name shatter comes from the extract’s glassy appearance. When shatter is made, the resinous extract forms sheets that can be broken apart or “shattered” into smaller pieces like glass.
Cannabis extracts like hashish have been used for centuries. However, shatter began to gain popularity in the early 2010s along with other concentrated cannabis extracts known as dabs.
Some critics are wary of shatter and similar cannabis extracts due to their high potency. While cannabis flower is often between 10-25% THC, shatter can contain up to 80% THC.
It is most commonly consumed via dabbing, a method where a small piece of the concentrate is dropped onto a highly heated surface (a “nail” on a specialized water pipe) and the resulting vapor is inhaled.
