If you’ve ever typed “dispensary near me” while craving something stronger than flower, you’re not alone. Here at Skunked dispensary Thornton, just a few minutes from Northglenn, we meet plenty of curious dabbers (and future dabbers) who want to learn more about marijuana wax, THC wax, and how to enjoy it without getting totally overwhelmed.
Let’s break it down, because when it comes to wax, there’s a lot to love.
What Is Marijuana Wax?
Weed wax, also known as THC wax or cannabis wax is a concentrated cannabis extract made by using solvents like butane or CO₂ to pull cannabinoids (like THC) and terpenes from the plant material. After extraction, the result is a sticky, potent concentrate with THC levels that can range anywhere from 60–90% (yes, seriously).
Once extracted, the wax is purged of solvents, and the texture that remains depends on the process. That’s where we get the fun part…
Types of Wax: Budder, Crumble, Sugar, and More
Not all wax weed looks the same. Depending on how it’s whipped, cured, or processed post-extraction, wax comes in a variety of textures:
-
Crumble: Dry, powdery, and easy to sprinkle, great for topping bowls or using in a dab rig.
-
Budder: Whipped to a creamy consistency, budder is smooth, easy to handle, and beloved for flavor.
-
Sugar: Has a grainy, wet-sugar-like texture. Potent, flavorful, and sparkly.
-
Shatter: Glass-like and breakable, though technically not wax, it’s often grouped into the same family.
-
Keef: While not a wax per se, keef is concentrated trichomes, perfect for sprinkling into flower or rolling into joints for a boost.
Whether you prefer something that melts cleanly or something easier to handle with a dab tool, there’s a type of weed wax for you.
Why Dabs Hit Different
Dabs are one of the fastest ways to feel the effects of THC. Because you’re vaporizing high-potency concentrates, the cannabinoids hit your system almost immediately. It’s no surprise that dab lovers rave about wax’s intensity and clarity. Many use it for pain relief, deep relaxation, or simply to get a more efficient high.
And yes, less is more. A little dab of THC wax goes a long way.
Is Wax Weed for Everyone?
Not necessarily and that’s okay. If you’re new to cannabis or just starting to explore concentrates, talk to your budtender. We’ll help you find something that fits your tolerance and comfort level. Some people work their way up to dabs, while others go all in and never look back.
We’ve got cartridges, disposables, nectar collectors, rigs, and tools to help you find your rhythm.
