Budder concentrate is similar to wax as it’s a form of BHO (butane hash oil). However, Budder has an opque taffy like consistency. With it’s higher terpene profile, budder delivers a tasty smoke that most enthusiasts look for in cannabis.
7. Live Resin
Extracted using live plants, live resin contains higher terpene profiles than any other concentrates. All other cannabis concentrates use dry plants, live resin takes advantage of the living plants aromas and extracts it into an unusually flavorful and pungent extract. There is more work that goes into the production process of live resin, this means you this product is usually reserved for consumers with more expensive taste buds.
