What Are Dabs?
Cannabis is a huge market with its own dictionary of terminology. You have the infamous terms like spliff, hash, shatter, bowl. And then there are the ever so popular “dabs.”
If you have done any amount of online research about cannabis use, you’ve most likely stumbled across this word more than once. What does it mean? What are dabs?
In this article, we break down what dabs are, their benefits, types of dabs, and how to use them.
What are Dabs?
The term “dabs” refers to small, potent doses of cannabis that people make using cannabis concentrates, such as waxes, diamonds, or shatters.
Cannabis users then place the pinky-nail-sized doses onto a dab rig or into a bowl – this process is what the community refers to as dabbing.
The popularity of dabs and dabbing is due to their strong psychoactive abilities while still being able to use a minimal amount of product. Additionally, dabs are remarkably flavorful and make for a more enjoyable user experience.
