Sugar Wax Cannabis Concentrate. What Is It and How to Use It?
As cannabis becomes legal in more states, more new cannabis products keep popping up on the market. As a cannabis company, we assume that the influx of products, especially the varieties of concentrates now on the market, must confuse the average consumer if it confuses us. With a wide range of concentrates available, and new ones pop up left and right, differing in their extraction process, form, shape, and texture, we decided it was time to talk about concentrates—specifically, Sugar Wax.
What is Sugar Wax?
Sugar wax, or also referred to as simply 'sugar,' is a cannabis concentrate. Its name comes from its consistency: like wet sugar that hasn't been fully dissolved. One of the purest marijuana products, sugar wax, is high in THC, ranging from 60% to 90%. With high THC content, concentrates like sugar wax are often used to overcome high tolerances and provide the high cannabis consumers are looking for.
Many get sugar wax confused with Shatter, which makes sense because the two are created using the same extraction method. The consistency and sugary texture of Sugar Wax are what differentiate it from Shatter. With its grainy texture, Sugar Wax is rich in flavor, and because it is thicker, it is often easier to handle than other concentrates.
Sugar wax can be created both by accident and on purpose. How? Well, sugar wax can develop over time when the lipids in the wax begin to break down and separate from the cannabinoids, thus causing the wax to crystallize. Today, dabbers tend to prefer sugar wax's flavor profile and texture, and therefore, some concentrate manufacturers intentionally produce it.
How is Sugar Wax Made?
There are a few things that make sugar wax different (and more preferable!) As a marijuana concentrate, sugar wax has a rich and complex flavor profile. Typically, sugar wax comes in a cube-like shape made up of crystals that make it easier to work with than other concentrates, less sticky, and less messy.
How Do You Smoke Sugar Wax?
If you're interested in consuming Sugar Wax, you do so by ingesting it the same way as most concentrates: dabbing, heating it, and inhaling the vapor. Typically, sugar wax can also be applied as a topper for a bowl, pipe, or bong.
