Cannabis shoppers across Missouri are always looking for new ways to enjoy the plant’s full potential– and few products offer more variety and potency than THC extracts. From shatter and wax to live resin and rosin, there are countless types of cannabis concentrates designed for different preferences, effects, and experiences.
In this guide, we’ll break down the best cannabis concentrates available today, explain how they’re made, and help you find your favorite forms of THC extracts at From The Earth dispensaries throughout Missouri.
What Are the Different Types of Cannabis Concentrates?
Cannabis concentrates are potent THC extracts that deliver a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes. They’re crafted to maximize flavor, purity, and effect. From shatter and wax to live resin and rosin, there are many types of cannabis concentrates available at From The Earth dispensaries across Missouri.
Solvent-Extracted Full-Spectrum Concentrates
This type of cannabis concentrates are produced using solvents like CO₂, butane, or alcohol. The solvents are completely removed before products reach dispensary shelves, leaving behind clean, flavorful full-spectrum extracts known for the “entourage effect.” Popular examples include RSO, CO₂ oil, butane hash oil (BHO), and live resin.
RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)
RSO, also known as Full Extract Cannabis Oil or Phoenix Tears, is one of the best cannabis concentrates for medical use. Extracted with grain alcohol, RSO and FECO can be consumed orally or used topically and is often sold in a syringe for precise dosing.
CO₂ Oil Extracts
Created with carbon dioxide, this concentrate is known for its smooth flavor and clean potency. CO₂ oil is common in vape cartridges and tinctures found throughout Missouri.
BHO (Butane Hash Oil)
Live Resin
One of the best cannabis concentrates for flavor, live resin preserves the plant’s natural profile by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from freshly frozen flower. This technique delivers exceptional aroma and taste.
Live Sauce
A variation of live resin, live sauce has a syrupy consistency with high terpene content. It’s favored by concentrate lovers seeking both potency and rich, complex flavor.
Solventless Full-Spectrum Concentrates
Solventless THC extracts rely on heat and pressure rather than chemicals, preserving the plant’s full character. These include hash, kief, and live rosin.
Hashish (Hash)
Among the oldest types of cannabis concentrates, hash is made by compressing trichomes into a solid brick or ball. It can be smoked, vaporized, or added to edibles for extra potency.
Kief
Kief collects naturally at the bottom of your grinder– a trichome-rich powder that can be sprinkled on flower or pressed into hash. It’s a great introduction to solventless THC extracts, and is often used as the THC boost of infused pre-rolls.
Live Rosin
Live rosin, or hash rosin, is prized for purity and flavor. It’s made by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flower or kief, releasing terpene-rich oils without solvents. Many Missouri shoppers choose solventless rosin for its smooth, clean dabbing experience.
THC-Only Extracts
Some types of cannabis concentrates focus almost entirely on THC, removing other cannabinoids. These include distillate, diamonds, and isolate, known for unmatched potency.
Distillate
Diamonds
THC diamonds are crystalline structures formed from pure THC-A. Often combined with live sauce, diamonds create a high-impact dab for experienced consumers seeking the best cannabis concentrates for strength.
Isolate
THC isolate is nearly 100% pure and appears as a fine crystalline powder. It’s commonly used in therapeutic or precisely dosed cannabis products.
Which Cannabis Concentrate Is the Strongest?
The strongest THC extracts are often those with the highest THC percentage. These include:
- THC isolate (≈100% THC)
- THC distillate (≈90%+)
- THC diamonds (≈90%+)
- Live resin (≈80%+)
- BHO (≈70–80%)
- Live rosin (≈70–80%)
Potency isn’t everything, though. Full-spectrum types of cannabis concentrates often provide a more balanced experience thanks to the entourage effect. Beginners should start with smaller doses and build up gradually.
What Is the Best Type of THC Extract?
The best cannabis concentrates depend on your goals and preferences. For maximum THC, go with distillate or isolate. For flavor and balanced effects, try live resin or BHO badder. For chemical-free purity, choose live rosin or traditional hash.
From The Earth customers in Missouri often explore a mix of options– distillate vapes for convenience, live resin for taste, and solventless rosin for purity. Ask a budtender for guidance on selecting the best cannabis concentrates for your needs.
How to Use THC Concentrate
The way you consume THC extracts depends on the form you choose:- Dabbing: Ideal for live resin, rosin, or diamonds using a dab rig or e-rig.
- Vaping: Use cartridges filled with CO₂ oil or distillate for discreet, on-the-go use.
- Edibles & Tinctures: Infuse distillate or RSO into food or oil for long-lasting effects.
- Topicals: Apply RSO or infused oil directly to the skin for localized relief.
