Since we first gave a rundown of the best
\nextracts on the market in 2016, it\u2019s undeniable that we\u2019ve seen a lot of change
\nin the cannabis concentrates industry, particularly in California. <\/p>\n
For example, the only companies still surviving from 2016\u2019s pack of Prop 215-compliant extractors<\/a> are 3rd Gen Family and Moxie, while the rest haven\u2019t made the jump to California\u2019s stricter new adult-use regulations<\/a>. Plus, years later, we\u2019ve moved on from thinking shelf-stable shatter<\/a> in parchment was the best dabs in the world, and now we\u2019re here for jars of saucy goodness loaded with terpenes.<\/p>\n In the beginning, 710 may have been a day primarily celebrated by wooks with blowtorches, but these days, it\u2019s for everyone. And we can prove it! According to the data crunchers at Headset<\/a>, total cannabis sales went up around 10% on 710 last year around the country. As one might expect, the biggest things driving that bump in sales were concentrates and vape pens. The numbers from Headset showed concentrates sales went up 49% and vape pens went up 36%.<\/p>\n What globs were people actually buying last year? Live resin<\/a> made up 30% of total concentrate sales, while waxes and shatter both got an even 23% of the category. This points to a clear trend: sloppy terps<\/a> are in!<\/p>\n Flower sales weren\u2019t especially impressive on 710 Washington and Colorado saw the biggest gains While the underground market certainly still exists strong on the concentrate side of the game, pending the impact of California\u2019s new butane purchasing laws<\/a>, those who made their way to the legal market have had a strong showing recently. <\/p>\n Headset also collected what companies did the highest volume of sales last year across the states with the biggest cannabis industries. In California, it was NUG<\/a>, Raw Garden<\/a> and Creme de Canna<\/a>. In Washington state, it was Smokey Point Productions<\/a>, Oleum Extracts<\/a> and Sticky Frog. In Colorado and Nevada, some of the big winners were the in-house brands producing dispensary-affiliated globs.<\/p>\n Today, in celebration of this year\u2019s 710 Surprize Surprize got into their new lab with just a few days before the Emerald Cup<\/a> entries were due. The plan for this offshoot of the Royal Key Organics cannabis company<\/a> was to launch at the Emerald Cup, but little did they know they would sweep the shatter batter category<\/a> podium and make it into the top five for sauces. Now seven months later, they\u2019re crushing at full steam. Keep an eye out for their elite live rosin.<\/p>\n Back in 2017, Royal Key rocked the world<\/a>. Even the most OG of cultivators were trading Royal Key\u2019s little black jars like wook gold. After that year\u2019s lineup of nearly 20 phenotypes, they selected for their boss sauciness, but they\u2019ve since hit a bit of a rut as legalization came to California. But as we wait for their full lineup to return this fall, they\u2019ve collaborated with some of the best growers in the state in Connected<\/a> and Alien Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The patron saint of globby traplords, The Diamond Baron certainly deserves a spot. While you won\u2019t find his products in the legal market, they are a wonder to behold. When we asked one Colorado operator who had the biggest diamonds, he quickly replied the Diamond Baron \u2014 with a laugh and an \u201coff the record.\u201d<\/p>\n As the data showed last year, Raw Garden is Moonshine Melts<\/a> starts with some of the world\u2019s best flowers, and it just so happens those flowers were grown by Brandon from 3rd Gen Family, who is also one of the best extractors on the planet. Anytime you can get your hands on Moonshine Melts, it\u2019s a special offering. For years, Moonshine Melts towered above the competition and the pedigree survives to the legal market.<\/p>\n One of the greats, Field Extracts<\/a> went into the Emerald Cup awards show last year like an F5 globnado. Field won the rosin and live resin cartridge categories and had three spots in the top five in solventless. The house Zkittlez cut is the real deal, but don\u2019t forget to keep an eye out for fantastic collaborations with Tarhill and Str8organics.<\/p>\n Frosty\u2019s<\/p>\n 710 Labs<\/p>\n Moxie<\/p>\n NUG<\/p>\n Summit Boys<\/p>\n Humboldt Terp Council<\/p>\n TELL US,<\/strong> what is your favorite concentrate to dab?<\/p>\n The post It\u2019s Time to Celebrate 710: Here\u2019s Your Year in Globs 2019<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nand capsules, which saw sales increases of 24% and 17% respectively.<\/p>\n
\nlast 710. In Washington, sales bumped 100%. Some people would argue it\u2019s
\nbecause of the age of those markets, but the counter-argument to that is a lot
