If you’ve ever dreamed of dabbing mentholated apples or inhaling pastry, these concentrates will blow your mind
Here’s the thing about “glazed” dabs and other tasty botanically augmented concentrates: you’re likely to eventually embrace them on some level. Whether you welcome them to Mass with open arms like our whole crew seemed to do, or if you kick and scream louder than grabbing a hot banger, delaying the inevitable, if you love candy and globs, you’re prone to dig these fresh delectables.
Until now, there’s been a noticeable canna-cultural chasm between vape carts and unbothered hardcore concentrates. Whereas the former have primarily been the domain of casual users and therefore not the concern of the more intrepid heads who often refuse to hit pens, wax, badder, and comparable extracts which get puffed in glass rigs are kind of the high and holy grail of pro-level pot products. Glazed dabs bridge this divide, and it was only a matter of time.
Over the past few years, concentrates have crept toward the Massachusetts mainstream, in no small part due to the shop-level marketing and dependable melts of Root & Bloom and its Crispy Commission line. They’ve been at the forefront of dropping quality dabs at fair prices in urban as well as suburban throes, as well as educating consumers and even going big on baller jars early on. And so it makes sense for the Salisbury-based melt makers to help pry open this dimension.
The idea of introducing foreign flavor elements to concentrates isn’t exactly new in Mass. From multiple varieties of diamonds and sauce offerings to infused kief, there’s been impressive experimentation for years. But these “glazed” dabs are a lot more than just peanut butter with the jelly in the same jar. Rather they are seamless concoctions that have been engineered to tickle from your taste buds to the trachea with what this panel of geeks found to be an exceptionally wide temp window to melt in as well as consistent chilled apple sauce or baby food-like textures.
Speaking of apples, we haven’t even sung about the flavors yet. And believe us when we say that it is all about the flavors with these juicy jellies. There’s a Surf Storm with tropical citrus vibes, and Peaches & Cream which doubles as a natural air freshener. They’re all subtle in sweetness but present throughout your sinuses, more like a flavored seltzer than a sugary soda. We mixed Lemon Squares and Blueberry Cake with outrageous results, while the Apple Ice delivered one of our most unique dabbing experiences to date. Each hit is a giant bite of a light menthol red delicious juice bomb, as well as a convincing answer to anyone questioning why this product exists. Bonkers.
