Dabbing is a method of consuming cannabis in a concentrated form. Referred to as “dabs,” these cannabis concentrates usually look like dark brown or yellow-colored wax and can feel very sticky and gummy. Cannabis dabs are used by vaporizing the concentrates on a hot surface and inhaling the resulting fumes. Slang terms for dabs include butane hash oil, honey oil, budder, crumble and shatter.

Dabs contain very high THC levels (the compound in cannabis that creates a “high” when consumed).
