Cannabis diamonds are small, crystalline pieces of nearly pure THC. They are made by extracting cannabinoids from cannabis and then applying heat and pressure over time. The result is a solid, glass-like concentrate that can contain more than 90% THC.

When you visit a cannabis store, you will usually find diamonds sold in a jar or mixed with terpene-rich sauce. Because diamonds have little flavor on their own, many dispensaries sell them as a bundle with sauce added back for taste and aroma.

How to Buy Cannabis Diamonds at a Dispensary

Ask the budtender to see the product label. The label lists THC percentage, terpenes, and whether it contains added solvent. Licensed products in the U.S. come with lab test results. If the store cannot show you those results, do not buy the product.

Diamonds are sold by the gram. Prices range from $30 to $100 or more per gram, depending on quality and state market. High-THC diamonds often cost more than flower or ordinary wax.

How to Use Cannabis Diamonds Safely

You do not eat diamonds. You inhale them using a dab rig, a vaporizer made for concentrates, or by sprinkling a small amount onto a bowl of flower. Start with a very small amount, about the size of a grain of rice. Its effects come on quickly and are much stronger than smoking flower.

Do not touch diamonds with bare fingers. Oils on your skin can cause the crystals to stick or break down. Use the metal or silicone tool the dispensary provides.

Store Them Properly

Keep cannabis diamonds in an airtight, dark container at room temperature. Do not store them in the freezer. Moisture or cold can make them crumble or harden into a solid block. Proper storage keeps potency and texture stable for months.

If you are new to concentrates, ask the budtender for guidance. You can also buy a smaller amount first. Remember that edibles made from diamonds are different and require much longer for effects to appear.
