Dabbing refers to 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 has been used as a gesture of triumph or playfulness since 2015, becoming a youthful fad and internet meme. However, in recent years, dabbing has also been used to refer to a concentrated form of THC that is produced through butane extraction and then smoked. This concentrated form of marijuana is known as a "dab" and can be more dangerous than other forms of cannabis use. Dabbing can be highly addictive for some people and may pose other side effects. The creation of this concentrated form of marijuana involves the use of butane, which is a very flammable chemical and can cause explosions, making the process dangerous. The dab itself is a sticky substance often called "wax" or "concentrate" that users dont smoke in a typical fashion as they would with traditional cannabis.
