Cannabis concentrates come in all shapes and sizes, but few are as eye-catching and potent as THC diamonds. These glittering crystal-like extractions are packed with cannabinoids, especially THC and THC-A, making them one of the strongest and most potent cannabis products available at our dispensary.
With dispensary locations across California, Oregon, and New Mexico, Elevation is here to help you understand why this cannabis extract shines, plus how to enjoy and consume it responsibly.
How are THC Diamonds Made?
All cannabis concentrates are made to stay true to the plant, capturing the rich cannabinoids and terpenes that users desire. Diamonds are made using solvents like butane or propane to extract cannabinoids from the cannabis plant.
The typical process:
- First, the solvent extraction process separates the cannabinoid compounds from the plant material.
- After solvent extraction, the solution is refined with high temperatures and pressure.
- You’re left with a crystalline structure known as diamonds.
Diamonds are a pure and potent concentrate that many cannabis users prefer for its strength and unique crystal appearance. With a high level of cannabinoids, THC diamonds provide a potent experience for those looking for concentrated effects of THC and THC-A.
The Effects of THC and THC-A
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis that’s responsible for the “high” you feel when consuming.
THC binds to CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, triggering feelings and effects of euphoria and relaxation But, this interaction can also offer relief, alleviating pain, appetite loss, or nausea.
THC-A (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is the raw, non-psychoactive form of THC so on its own, it won’t produce a high. But once it’s heated (through methods like dabbing, vaping, or cooking), it undergoes decarboxylation, turning THC-A into THC.
Research has shown that THC-A may have potential anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, and neuroprotective properties.
Through this transformation process, cannabis diamonds offer a full-spectrum experience that combines potency and purity.
Tips for Enjoying THC Diamonds
Like other premium cannabis concentrates on our dispensary menu, THC diamonds can be consumed in a few different ways. It all depends on your preference and THC tolerance level.
Dabbing is one of the most popular consumption methods for enjoying concentrates. You’ll need a dab rig, e-nail, or a nectar collector.
- For the best results, aim for low to medium temperatures (around 300–450°F). This temperature range preserves the delicate terpenes while still delivering potent effects. Overheating can result in a harsher smoke and flavor, so it’s important to know what heat you’re using!
Elevate your bowl or joint by sprinkling in some diamonds! You can add THC diamonds directly to your rolled-up flower to boost potency and flavor.
- Or, for joints, try twaxing, a technique where you wrap diamonds around the outside of a rolled joint for an ultra-potent smoke sesh.
Pro tip: Start low and go slow. THC diamonds are highly potent, so a little goes a long way.
- If you ever feel like you’ve overdone it, try sniffing black peppercorns or using a dose of CBD to help take the edge off.
- Stay hydrated, find a comfortable place to relax, and remember, the effects will pass!
