Concentrates at Our Geary Location
At Urbana, we have spent years curating one of the most thoughtful concentrate selections in San Francisco. As one of the city’s original dispensaries with roots on Geary Blvd dating back to the early days of cannabis retail, we have watched the concentrate market evolve from a niche category into one of the fastest-growing segments in the entire industry. Today, concentrates represent a significant and rapidly expanding portion of the legal cannabis market nationwide, and the products available at our Geary location reflect the innovation, purity, and potency that modern consumers expect. Whether you are brand new to concentrates or have been dabbing for years, our knowledgeable and passionate staff is here to walk you through every option so you find exactly what fits your lifestyle.
Understanding Cannabis Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates are products created by extracting the most desirable compounds from the cannabis plant, primarily cannabinoids like THC and CBD along with the terpenes responsible for aroma and flavor. The result is a product that is significantly more potent than traditional flower, often reaching cannabinoid levels between sixty and ninety percent. This concentration means that consumers can achieve their desired effects with far less material, making concentrates an efficient and flavorful way to consume cannabis.
The extraction process varies depending on the type of concentrate being produced. Solvent-based methods use substances like butane, propane, or carbon dioxide to strip cannabinoids and terpenes from plant material. These processes require specialized closed-loop equipment and rigorous safety protocols to ensure no residual solvents remain in the final product. Solventless methods, on the other hand, rely on heat, pressure, ice water, or mechanical agitation to separate trichome heads from the plant. Both approaches yield exceptional products, and the choice between them often comes down to personal preference regarding texture, flavor, and overall experience.
