OTHER TYPES

Edibles 

Edibles are food-based products infused with cannabinoids. Although most edibles are high in THC, any food or drink product infused with cannabinoids qualifies as an edible. Most edibles contain a high percentage of THC and are sought after for effects, such as relaxation, pain relief, euphoria, increasing appetite, depression, anxiety, and more! However, we also carry high-CBD edibles for those needing CBD and not THC. Note of caution from the knowledgeable budtenders at Strains Dispensary of Perris: take it easy with high-THC edibles and apply conservative dosing when using for the first time.

Concentrates: Oil, Shatter & Butter

Concentrates come in a variety of forms but they ultimately have one important characteristic in common: they all contain significantly high concentrations of THC that fall between 70 and 90% with some isolates now pushing beyond 90%. The key difference between concentrates is their consistency: shatter being hard and brittle; oil being black, thick, and sludgy; and butter being yellow in hue with soft butter-like texture.

Hemp

Hemp is marijuana’s famous cousin and a phenotype of cannabis Sativa. Hemp is important for industrial use and is the prevalent source of the wildly popular cannabinoid CBD.

Tinctures

Tinctures are cannabis-infused suspensions made by mixing cannabinoids in a diluting agent such as alcohol or vegetable glycerin. Tinctures generally contain higher concentrations of THC or CBD and are consumed via a dropper bottle for accurate dosing.

What is Shatter?

Explanation of Shatter at Strains Dispensary of Perris

At The Dispensary in Perris, our knowledgeable budtenders get asked about shatter every day due to its increasing popularity among patients. Shatter is a popular concentrate class with a special consistency guiding its increasingly popular name. Shatter is a cannabis industry word describing a specific concentrate type defined by its brittle consistency. When you hear ‘dabs’ being discussed, shatter is one of the concentrates that qualify for this route of administration.

Making Shatter

Shatter is produced through the extraction and refinement processes of the cannabis flower and contains a high concentration of THC. The extract and chemical properties of THC cause shatter to have a glass-like consistency that ‘shatters’ easily under pressure similar to hard candy or peanut brittle. Shatter begins as raw oil pulled from the plant and then undergoes a refinement process that enhances the THC’s concentration while removing non-therapeutic ingredients. The end shatter product has a nearly translucent appearance with a light-brown or amber coloration. When it comes to broadly comparing concentrates that have a THC content between 70 and 90%, shatter offers similar potency and effectiveness as others like oil or butter.

Consuming Shatter


As a concentrated form of cannabis, shatter can be administered in a variety of ways perfect for meeting our customers’ unique conditions and treatment needs.

Here is an overview of the most common ways to consume shatter: 

Dab Rig

Taking the scene by storm, dabs have been proven to be an increasingly popular route of shatter administration; requiring a special dab rig, this allows patients to consume their shatter via heated nail and favorite smoking device for rapid uptake of THC.

Adding to a joint

Some of our patients choose to break small pieces of shatter off and place it with the flower inside a joint for maximum relief.

Shatter as the cherry on top of a bowl

Our bowl-loving patients often choose to place a small chunk of shatter on top of their night-time bowl for relaxation, decreased anxiety, and improved sleep.

Vape cartridges

Many vape cartridges begin with a concentrate like shatter that is diluted and contained within a cartridge for easy vaping

The Strains Dispensary Shatter Sales

Shatter itself is a form of highly concentrated THC whose name is derived from the consistency of the product being brittle to touch and shatters when it breaks due to the high THC and low oil content. Shatter is easily differentiated among other concentrates when considering its texture and color: shatter is hard and brittle with a yellow to amber translucent hue.

What is Hemp?

Cannabis Hemp

Hemp Products at Strains Dispensary

Hemp is marijuana’s cousin as a phenotype of the cannabis Sativa plant. Hemp has been used industrially for generations but has recently become a popular source of the sought-after cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD). Hemp is commonly associated with CBD due to the relationship and is the source of the cannabis industry’s high-CBD and low-THC medicines. The CBD-based products at Strains Dispensary in Perris are sourced from the flower that produces CBD and not the hemp seed that does not contain any cannabinoids.

Hemp-based CBD Products

The knowledgeable budtenders at Strains Dispensary of Perris regularly discuss hemp and CBD with patients. The discussion almost always leads to an educational summary of the similarities, differences, and relationships between hemp, cannabis, and CBD. First, CBD is CBD regardless of the plant producing it and the part of the plant producing it.

Hemp and CBD at Strains Dispensary

The CBD in our patients’ favorite edibles, flowers, or topicals was extracted from the plant’s flower. Don’t be confused by the hemp seed oil found at health food stores because despite it having the hemp name, these products do not contain any CBD nor THC as they are made with the hemp seed that does not produce cannabinoids. Rest assured that when you buy a CBD product from us that the CBD was extracted from high-CBD plants grown in a certified facility according to strict quality and safety standards. We also carry high-CBD flowers that contain only trace amounts of THC insufficient to generate the feeling of being high.
