Concentrates are the most potent format Happy Time stocks — typically 60-90%+ THC at the gram level. We carry the full Washington-legal range across our three stores in Yakima, Mount Vernon, and Pullman: live rosin, live resin, shatter, wax, badder, kief, and diamonds. This guide explains what each format actually is at the production level, how they price, and which ones suit which customer.

Format definitions cross-checked against producer specifications. Concentrates inventory rotates fast (small-batch production); brand mentions reflect what is actively on Happy Time shelves now. Compliance details cite WSLCB.
Live rosin is solventless concentrate from fresh-frozen cannabis. Heat and pressure only — no butane, CO2, or hydrocarbons. The result is the cleanest possible extract with maximum terpene preservation. It's also the most expensive format because yield is low.
On the Happy Time shelf, live rosin pricing typically runs $60-100+ per gram. Best for customers who care about strain-specific flavor and solventless production.
Live resin uses fresh-frozen cannabis like live rosin, but extraction uses solvents (typically butane or propane). Final product retains most of the volatile terpenes that get lost during cured-cannabis extraction. Less expensive than live rosin since yield is higher.
Live resin is one of the most popular concentrate formats at all three Happy Time stores. Pricing typically $30-60 per gram.
These three formats use the same starting material (cured cannabis, extracted via solvent) but differ in post-processing texture:
All three test 60-80% THC typically. Pricing on the Happy Time shelf runs $20-40 per gram. The format choice is mostly dab-rig ergonomics preference rather than experience differences.
THCa diamonds are pure cannabinoid crystals grown from cannabis-derived terpene-fraction "sauce." When heated (vaporized or dabbed), THCa converts to active THC. Diamonds at the highest end test 95%+ THC.
Crystalline (sometimes labeled "live resin crystalline") is similar — isolated THCa in crystal form, often packaged with a small terpene fraction for flavor. Best for experienced concentrate customers.
Kief is the trichome dust that falls off cannabis flower — basically unprocessed concentrate. Lower potency than refined concentrates (typically 30-50% THC), but the most affordable concentrate format on the Happy Time shelf. Customers add kief to flower bowls or pre-rolls to bump potency.
Washington concentrate sales are governed by the WSLCB:
THCa diamonds — pure crystalline cannabinoid that tests 90-95%+ THC at the gram level. Specific strain rotation depends on producer drops; check the live Happy Time menu for current diamond inventory.
Live rosin is solventless (heat and pressure only) and has the cleanest possible extraction — top-tier flavor preservation. Live resin uses solvents (butane or propane) but is significantly more affordable. For a regular customer, live resin offers most of the flavor at a fraction of the price. For a flavor purist, live rosin.
Washington state limits each customer to 7 grams of concentrate per day across all WA dispensaries combined. Vape cartridges and disposable vapes count toward this limit since they're concentrate-format. The Happy Time budtender will help you stay under if your basket is close.
For shatter, wax, badder, and diamonds — yes, you need a dab rig (a specialized water pipe with a heated nail) or an electronic dab pen. For vape cartridges and disposables, no — the device is built in. Kief can be added to a regular flower bowl or pre-roll without special equipment.
Every concentrate on the Happy Time shelf is from a WSLCB-licensed processor and lab-tested for potency, residual solvents, pesticides, microbials, and heavy metals. We don't sell unregulated concentrate. Lab certificates of analysis are tied to each batch via WA seed-to-sale tracking.
No. Washington state law (WAC 314-55-079 in Sources) prohibits cannabis delivery from any licensed retailer. Reserve online via the Happy Time menu at your nearest store, pickup ready in about 15 minutes, valid 21+ ID required.
