Description
Badder is a variety of cannabis concentrate conducted by removing trichomes from the plant material. The trichomes are then purified and concentrated on creating a sticky, resin-like substance. Badder has a higher concentration of THC than regular cannabis flowers, and it also has a more potent flavor.
To make badder, you will need to start with high-quality cannabis trim or buds. The trim should be free of leaves and stems, and the buds should be dry and cured. If you are using fresh trim, you will need to dry it first by hanging it in a dark, airtight space for 7-10 days.
Once your trim is dry, you will need to grind it into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or food processor. The more refined the powder, the more manageable it will be to pull the trichomes later.
Next, you will need to place the ground trim into a mesh bag or cheesecloth and submerge it in ice water for 24 hours. This action will assist in hurting the plant material’s cell walls and dismiss the trichomes into the water.
After 24 hours, remove the trim from the water and let it drain for a few minutes before squeezing out any excess water. Now, you are ready to begin extraction!
The Benefits of Badder
The process of making badder results in a product that is more flavorful than traditional cannabis. The terpenes and other molecules that contribute to the plant’s taste and smell are preserved better in badder, resulting in a more potent flavor profile.
More Potent
Badder is also more mighty than conventional cannabis. The high concentration of trichomes makes for a more robust product that can have up to 30% THC content. This means that users will require less badder to achieve the same effect as they would with regular cannabis.
Better for Your Lungs
Another benefit of badder is that it is easier on your lungs than smoking cannabis flower. Making badder withdraws many of the poisonous byproducts of combustion, such as tar and carbon monoxide. This makes for a more unassailable outcome to swallow, particularly for those with respiratory illnesses.
