Heisenberg THC Diamond Super Lemon Haze

Despite the THC in its name, Heisenberg’s THC Diamond in Super Lemon Haze is a concentrate made of THCA crystals. The strain behind the name is Lemon Skunk crossed with Super Silver Haze, which Leafly credits to Green House Seeds and calls a sativa-dominant hybrid.

Crystals that separate out of an extract

When an extract separates, THCA can gather into crystals, and those crystals are what the word diamonds refers to. In crystal form the THCA has not yet been converted; heat is what turns it into THC. Terp sauce often holds small crystals of the same kind, suspended in a runny extract. Our guide to THC diamonds walks through how they are made.

Extracts, newcomers and the 6-hour wait

Diamonds belong to the extract group that Health Canada’s lower-risk page calls high in THC (its named examples are hash, kief, wax and shatter), and the page advises beginners and occasional users against them. Its smoking and vaping advice begins small: one puff, or two, from a product that is 10% THC at most. Its lower-risk use guidelines keep driving off the table for 6 hours or more after use.
