Cannabis concentrates continue to gain in popularity in the US. In fact, concentrate sales increased by 40% in 2020 in both the medical and recreational markets.

Industry experts view the sharp increase in concentrate consumption as a natural progression as users become more sophisticated. They start with flower and then move on to concentrates which are more potent, portable, discreet and deliver a more intense flavor.
