what is a dab

A dab is a gesture in which a person leans forward into the bent crook of a slanted, upward angled arm, while raising the opposite arm out straight in a parallel direction. It appears to be similar to someone sneezing into an elbow. However, in the context of marijuana use, a dab is a highly concentrated form of cannabis that is super sticky and made from the resin of the Cannabis Sativa plant. The resin is gathered from the trichomes of the flowers and leaves of the plant during harvest, and the resulting substance can be called wax, concentrate, honeycomb, earwax, budder, honey oil, 710, shatter, black glass, errl, or live resin. Dabs can be more dangerous than other forms of cannabis use, as they contain a high level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and the creation of this concentrated form of marijuana involves the use of butane, which is a very flammable chemical and can cause explosions.
