Dabs – also referred to as wax, shatter, amber, honeycomb, sugar, diamonds, budder, and a host of other names, are concentrated versions of butane hash oil (BHO) and other cannabis extracts. They contain highly-concentrated levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana.
Although marijuana is commonly consumed by smoking joints, bong hits, and through through vape pens, dabs are cannabis concentrates that are heated to an extremely high temperature and then inhaled. In marijuana culture, dabs usually refer to the cannabis product, while dabbing refers to the process and style of consuming high concentrations of THC.
