As the world of cannabis evolves, so do the ways to consume it. Most people still smoke traditional joints, blunts, and pipes. However, there’s a new trend in town: cannabis dabbing. Cannabis dabbing is a process in which a small amount of cannabis concentrate is heated and inhaled. Depending on the consumer’s preference, dabbing can be done with wax or shatter, which is another form of cannabis ingestion options.

Dabbers use various tools to heat their waxes, including torches and personal handheld devices. While dabbing is popular among some cannabis users, it’s also become increasingly common for non-consumers to try dabs. This new trend is one of the fastest growing markets in cannabis sales.  As mentioned above,  many use more modern day hand hold devices like those offered at Dr Dabber or other vaporizer companies near you.

Read on to learn more about cannabis dabbing and why it’s an emerging trend.

Definition Of Cannabis Dabbing

Cannabis dabbing is a method of smoking or vaporizing concentrated cannabis. It involves applying a small amount of cannabis extract called a ‘dab’ to a heated surface, like a nail or a bong, to produce an inhalable vapor. You can use dabbing for recreational or medicinal purposes, but many medical pain patients have turned to this option for the quick onset and rapid relief of symptoms it offers patients.

Please note, Dabs are much more potent than regular flower marijuana. This is because they contain significantly more concentrated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).  They have lower levels of cannabidiol (CBD) as well. Therefore, they’re not quite as mellow and relaxing as other forms of cannabis consumption.

Cannabis Dabbing: A Growing Trend

Cannabis dabbing has been around for decades, but its popularity has grown in recent years due to the rise of social media and legalization efforts. The following are reasons why cannabis dabbing is an emerging trend:

  • Potency

One main reason people choose to dab over other methods lately is that it’s more potent. A traditional joint or blunt might contain roughly 10 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) while a single dab can contain up to 100 mg. That means you’re getting more results for your money when you buy dabs instead of a regular flower. Additionally, dabbing is more intense than smoking flowers because it’s smoked with a heating element that extracts much of the cannabinoids and terpenes this plant has to offer.

Moreover, the effects of cannabis dabbing tend to last longer than traditional smoking methods. This is why some people use it as an alternative to pain relief or sleep aid. The potency of cannabis dabbing is also believed to be higher than other methods, so it may be a good option if you’re looking for a faster-acting option.

  • Medical Benefits

Another reason cannabis dabbing has become an emerging trend is the medical benefits consumers get from this option. Most of the active ingredients in cannabis are THC and CBD, which can be found in hash oil or concentrate. Thus, dabbing makes it easier to consume high doses of these substances, which may be why it’s effective for treating various medical conditions, such as pain, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Alzheimer’s.

Furthermore, cannabis is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with pain relief and reduce swelling. It can help with muscle spasms and gastrointestinal issues too, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These benefits have contributed to the rise in cannabis merchandise in recent days.

  • Legalization

The popularity of cannabis dabbing continues to grow, thanks partly to its growing acceptance in mainstream culture. In states where recreational cannabis use has been legalized, like California, Colorado and Washington, to name a few, many dispensaries have started offering products designed specifically for dabbing purposes, such as hash oil pens and wax vaporizers, which are becoming increasingly common among consumers in those states.

  • Ease Of Use

Aside from the potency, medical benefits, and legalization, cannabis dabbing is an emerging trend because people now prefer easy and quick results. Dabbing may involve a concentrated cannabis oil called ‘shatter,’ which is heated with a flame. The oil creates vapor that can then be inhaled from a bong or a pipe. This smoking method allows people to get a quick onset of the medicine in them quickly, making it a favorite among some users.

  • Recreation

One of the main draws of dabbing for many people is that it allows for a more intense high than other methods of consumption. Dabbing also produces no odor, which makes it ideal for discreet use at home or on the go. In addition, its portability makes it easy to take with you wherever you go.

Because dabbing allows you to consume much higher doses of THC than other methods (such as smoking), it can produce intense highs that can last for hours. This makes it appealing to recreational users who want a powerful experience without having to smoke large amounts of cannabis over long periods of time.

  • Cost-Effectiveness 

Besides the fact that smoking is wasteful, a reason why people are ditching traditional smoking methods for dabbing is the amount of cannabis that’s used or wasted. When following the traditional method of smoking marijuana (such as through a pipe or a bong), you don’t actually inhale all of the smoke that comes from burning your flower. Instead, you have to blow it out after you take a draw. Otherwise, there would be too much smoke in your lungs, and it could make you cough. This means that up to 95% of what’s burned goes straight into thin air.

The cost-effectiveness is another reason why cannabis dabbing is a preferred choice for many cannabis users. The main advantage to dabbing over smoking or eating cannabis is that it allows you to use less material and get more potent effects from it. This means that you can use less cannabis than traditional methods and still achieve the same effect.

Conclusion

Popular among recreational and medical users, cannabis dabbing is a new way of consuming marijuana. And with growing technology, more people will come to accept this new way of smoking because of its benefits, such as potency and ease of use.

Please note, this option is NOT recommended for the novice or first time user.  Do NOT think more is better.

Our recommendation is to consult with a medical professional before consuming cannabis.
