A<\/span>s this year comes to a close, on the eve of 40 million Californians gaining access to legal adult-use cannabis and the fantastic extracts that will soon fill dispensary shelves up and down the state, the second annual addition of The Year in Globs has arrived!<\/p>\n This list<\/a> not only gives credit where credit is due in terms of excellence, but also refreshes everyone\u2019s memory about what these master hash producers have had to deal with over the years to get to this point.<\/p>\n Despite the forthcoming lure of the regulated market<\/a>, 2018 will likely be a swan song for many California extractors. Whether it be small producers or folks not willing to jump through the hoops of grey market capitalism at its finest, some will indeed say farewell. But some producers on this list will persevere, as many of the world\u2019s best extractors have been preparing for this day for a long time.<\/p>\n The solventless crowd is in better shape than more volatile extract methods. Some butane producers are kicking off the year as permitted solventless producers while they continue to work to find a municipality that will welcome their volatile gases and tax dollars.<\/p>\n As always, we hit up the experts to get their take on the most glorious globs of the last 12 months.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was all sauce<\/a> this year for new trends,\u201d said Secret Cup Founder Daniel de Sailles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The simplicity of production only reaffirms the age-old mantra \u201cyou get out what you put in,\u201d de Sailles told Cannabis Now. Hence, high-end flower producers usually have the best sauce, and de Sailles pointed to 3rd Gen Family<\/a> as the producers behind the top sauce he sampled this year. 3rd Gen took home the Breeder\u2019s Cup and second place overall at The Emerald Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n The other professionals who weighed in on the best dabs of 2017 included Etienne Fontan, the Berkeley Patients Group vice president, an Emerald Cup judge<\/a> and a National Cannabis Industry Association Board Member, who for the second year in a row gives his take.<\/p>\n \u201cNailing down a winner or loser is hard, as I mostly mix my stuff,\u201d Fontan said. \u201cHowever, Jet Fuel by Empress Extracts struck a chord with me. There were others, but the biggest winners are really California consumers in 2018, with legalization and testing, because everyone will finally be able to get the same safe cannabis Berkeley consumers have been enjoying for years.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Fontan, with safety standards and the professional production possible in a legalized system, we will see considerable quality across the board \u201cand 2018 looks exciting from a concentrates standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n Fontan has also enjoyed mixing crystalline in with other extracts this year.<\/p>\n \u201cI enjoy the Guild Extracts THCA powder and CBD crystalline,\u201d he said. \u201cI use the powder in my mix as I mix all my BHOs together at low temp, so I get the full spectrum. Pulling one or two memorable ones is tough for my titration standards.\u201d<\/p>\n OG Kush Live Resin \u2013 Foxworthy Farms<\/a> x Oakland Extracts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Ocean Orange Sauce \u2013 Royal Key Organics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Lemon Tree Sauce \u2013 Royal Budline <\/a>\u00a0x Terp Preservation Society<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Peach Ringz Live Action \u2013\u00a0 Dabbenport Extracts <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Wifi OG\u00a0 \u2013 Alien Labs<\/a> x Moxie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n WiFi SugErrl \u2013 Spoiled Patients Collective<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sin Mint Cookies \u2013 AGM Farms <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Forbidden Fruit \u2013 Paper Planes<\/a> x Str8organics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Zkittlez \u2013 Terp Hogz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tropical Sleigh Ride \u2013 Greenshock Farms<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n All fruit selections from Beezle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Anything from 3rd Gen Fam<\/a>\/Moonshine Melts<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2017 Chalice Winners<\/a> in the solvent and solventless categories.<\/p>\n SoCal Cannabis Cup Winners<\/a> in the indica and sativa concentrate categories.<\/p>\n NorCal Cannabis Cup Winners<\/a> in the indica and sativa concentrate categories.<\/p>\n The Secret Cup Finals Las Vegas<\/a>, including 1st<\/sup> Overall Winner: Zkittlez Rozin by Fieldz from the Terp Hogz<\/p>\n TELL US,<\/strong> what were your favorite dabs this year?<\/p>\n The post The Year in Globs: The Best Dabs of 2017<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
