Slab

In cannabis concentrate culture, a slab refers to a large, thick single piece of hash, wax, shatter, budder, or other cannabis extract used for dabbing. Slabs are essentially solid chunks broken off from a larger batched mass of concentrate.

Their wide surface area combined with a dense, opaque texture means slabs must be heated slowly and gradually across the entire surface area to prevent uneven burning and wasted product. Think of slabs as the concentrate analog to large, wide patties of ground beef smashed together.

Dabbing enthusiasts seeking extremely potent effects often prefer gently loading small slabs of rich concentrate into their banger, nail, or other vaporizing surface when consuming cannabis, as opposed to handling tiny bits or crystals.
