The creation of cannabis confections involves a multi-stage process. First, select high-quality cannabis flower. This is then coated in a sticky concentrate, such as hash oil or shatter. Finally, the concentrate-covered bud is rolled in kief, the powdery trichomes that accumulate at the bottom of a grinder. The result is a dense, potent product known for its significantly elevated cannabinoid content compared to traditional flower.
The resulting product’s appeal lies in its concentrated dose, offering an intensified experience. Originally popularized by West Coast cannabis dispensaries, its prominence reflects a growing demand for stronger and more efficient consumption methods. The multi-layered effect, stemming from the combination of flower, concentrate, and kief, contributes to a unique and often long-lasting effect profile.
