Cannabis shake will be available in most weed dispensaries as the shredded parts of cannabis flowers. For instance, you can describe shakes as the leftovers of ordinary Marijuana products. Let us assume that the dispensary is storing different strains of Marijuana in different containers. Due to packaging and handling, some parts of these products will remain at the bottom of these containers. These dispensaries will collect such particles and offer them as shakes in powder form. Usually, the pricing of cannabis shakes will be cheap compared to the original product. However, you should ensure whether the product is the leftover of a fresh Marijuana product of high quality.

The major type of cannabis product is the flower where you will get the consumable part of the bud itself from the dispensary. Although there will be no innovation or alteration on these products, this category is remaining the preferred type among cannabis users around the world. The dispensary would have either grown the cannabis plants or brought them from a nearby farm. After cultivation of the flowers, only a few operations like drying and curing will be done on them.

Concentrates

As the name suggests, these products will be the concentrate variety of the cannabis plants. Concentration is nothing but the removal of unwanted elements from the product and offering only those which will affect your body. For instance, you would require the constituent of the cannabinoid to fight some diseases and get other health benefits. Instead of consuming some other elements along with these cannabinoids, you can consume the cannabinoids alone. So, the impact will also be high. You will get the health benefits as well as psychoactive effects with a minor dosage itself. So, you should be careful with the dosages of cannabis concentrates.
