Dry sift is a solventless cannabis concentrate made by mechanically separating trichomes from dried plant material using fine screens.
WHAT IS CANNABIS DRY SIFT
Dry sift is produced by gently agitating dried cannabis over mesh screens that allow trichome heads to fall through while leaving most plant material behind. The collected resin is then graded based on purity and micron size.
Higher-quality dry sift contains mostly intact trichome heads with minimal contamination.
HOW DRY SIFT IS USED
Dry sift is commonly:
– Smoked in bowls or joints
– Pressed into rosin
– Dabbed if refined to high purity
– Used as an ingredient in hash or temple balls
It is one of the oldest and simplest forms of concentrate.
WHY IT MATTERS
Dry sift is valued because:
– It is fully solventless
– It preserves strain character
– It requires minimal equipment
– It serves as a clean input for rosin pressing
Quality dry sift reflects both genetics and handling technique.
LIMITATIONS & NOTES
Lower-quality dry sift may contain excess plant material and burn harshly. Refinement methods like static tech are often used to improve purity.
