Shatter is a cured form of cannabis extract. It is most commonly formed from a butane hydrocarbon extraction, though other methods can result in similar consistencies.
Shatter presents itself as a slightly malleable solid, that will crack or shatter when you use a dabber to break off a section to vaporize.
Shatter will be between 50% to about 85% THC, depending on how it was made and who has made it.
