If you’ve been to the marijuana world, you must have heard of marijuana wax. Do you know what it is, how to use it, and the benefits of using it?

No? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

In the following guide, you will learn what marijuana wax is, its benefits, and how to use this indulging cannabis preparation.

Wait, there’s more!

You will also find an easy-to-follow recipe to make at home by the end of this guide. Interesting, right?

First things first, let’s understand what marijuana wax is!

What is Marijuana Wax?

Commonly popular as Butane Hash Oil (BHO), honey oil, and weed wax, marijuana wax is one of the most popular forms of potent cannabis concentrates.

You will find the wax under the names honeycomb, crumble, and budder in the market. The reason behind these different names is their consistency and texture. (Learn more about the different types of wax in the segment.)

Marijuana wax is one of the most prominent forms of using marijuana among recreational users due to its THC concentrations of up to 90%. Similarly, due to the same reason, medical patients also love to try weed wax for immediate and long-lasting relief.

Did you know? One short “hit” of weed wax generates the same euphoric high as that produced by smoking a couple of marijuana joints.

Truly mind-boggling!

Types of Weed Wax

There are as many as 17 different varieties of cannabis wax.

Yes, you read it right!

Here are three significant factors that weigh the marijuana wax type:

Process of extraction: 

The primary factor behind different types of wax is its method to separate the components. The process includes using Butane honey oil, CO2, hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbons extraction without heat or pressure.

Part of the plant used: 

You can use the whole cannabis plant to extract concentrates, but the best part is always the flowers with resin glands.

The texture of the concentrate: 

Cannabis concentrates vary in consistency from liquid, solid to anything in between the two.

How Is Cannabis Wax Made?

As we mentioned before, marijuana wax is a type of Butane hash oil (BHO). Being an inflammatory agent, Butane is the most popular and the most vulnerable element.

It’s not recommended to make weed wax at home!

The solvent is filtered with a tube having marijuana leaves, extracting the THC from the leaves to make weed wax. The Butane separates the resin (the most valuable element of a cannabis plant) from the raw plant substance.

After rigorous heating, contracting, and vacuum purging process, what comes out as the final result is a sticky residue having high THC concentrations.

Benefits of Using Marijuana Wax

The main reason for its popularity and high demand, which is its obvious benefit, is its extreme potency.

If made correctly, weed wax is one of the most potent substances. Due to high THC concentrates, wax generates more powerful effects than vaping or smoking flowers, and it’s favorite stuff among recreational users.

As we mentioned earlier, marijuana wax is also popular among medical patients due to its ability to relieve stress, anxiety, and chronic pain.

How to Use Marijuana Wax

There are different methods by which you can consume marijuana wax. Let’s have a look at some popular ways to consume cannabis wax.

In a Dab Rig: 

Since the high you get from dab rig is instantaneous, it is one of the most popular options to take weed wax. To smoke weed wax, you need to put a bit of wax into a dab wand or dab tool, put it onto a hot plate known as a nail. When the nail gets hot, you need to dab the wax on its surface and inhale the smoke through the water pipe simultaneously.

By Vaping: 

Vaping marijuana wax is similar to vaping cannabis flowers or other concentrates. Drop a small amount of wax on the vaporizer’s heating coil or in the heating chamber to vape the weed wax. Turn the vaporizer on, heat the substance at your convenient temperature, and inhale the vapor that will take you out of this universe!

Experts recommend setting a higher temperature for vaping weed wax than flowers for a better experience. However, you must monitor the vaporizer closely; otherwise, you’ll end up burning the wax.

With a Pot Pipe: 

Smoking marijuana wax in a pipe is as easy as smoking dried cannabis flowers. Just load your pipe with a sufficient amount of wax, light it up, and puff it up!

If you are a novice smoker and want to try weed wax, this would be a better option for you to start with.

Infused in Edibles: 

Some Mary Jane lovers prefer to add it to edibles from butter and honey to tea and candy. There’s no harm in adding marijuana wax into edibles. But, be cautious as a small dose would also generate more powerful effects.

So take your favorite cannabis edibles as small as possible if you want to continue working after the lunch break.

Making Twax Joints: 

Twax joints are popular among heavy smokers and those who love to stick to the old-school smoking experience. A twax joint is a regular joint with cannabis hash inside.

When you light up the twax joint, it burns slowly and hits you with a power-packed punch. So roll your herb together, burn it, and puff it in the air!

Things to Know Before Consuming Marijuana Wax

As we mentioned before, marijuana wax contains 70-90% THC concentrates, which means it is highly potent. It has become a popular choice among cannabis lovers due to its immediate effects that last longer.

But wait, here’s the catch!

Just as weed wax increases the powerful euphoric high, it also intensifies the side effects of cannabis usage, including paranoia, anxiety, and dry mouth.

Here are my expert recommendations for countering the dangers of using marijuana wax:

Go slow and low: 

Even if you are an expert user, you must start with a minimal amount of a substance. Take some gaps between dabs and wait a minimum of two hours before you give it another shot.

Stay hydrated: 

Dry mouth is one of the most common side effects of weed products. So it is better to keep water and other fluids around you to overcome the dryness.

Never mix substances: 

Most people mix alcohol with weed to intensify the experience. But since cannabis wax is already a potent substance, we recommend not mix alcohol with weed wax.

Pick a safer environment: 

Since you don’t know how your body will react to weed wax, you should try it in your convenient setting, such as the most comfortable place in your house where you can easily lay down.

Keep company: 

If you fear you will have severe adverse effects, keep someone you trust around you while trying weed wax for the first time. This way, if things go out of control, your companion can help you calm down and seek immediate medical help. If you cannot keep someone beside you, at least inform your friends about your experimental adventure so that they can check on you.

Different Ways of Making Weed Wax at Home

Marijuana experts recommend that you buy readymade weed wax from the market since the process of making wax is very risky.

However, if you still want to prepare weed wax by yourself, here’s one way to do it:

• Take the cannabis buds and load them into a pipe or tube.
• Put Butane (or another solvent) over the plant substance. The solution will bond with the psychoactive THC in the flowers and derive the mixture from the cannabis plant.
• Let the Butane gas evaporate till there’s nothing left but a sticky, oily and highly potent material. 

And there you are, you’ve successfully made DIY cannabis wax!

You can make different variants of marijuana wax by changing specific conditions like temperature and humidity while doing the extracting process.

Drawbacks of Weed Wax

As you might know, most substances are addictive, which leads you to long-term abuse. Such substances might even trigger mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Due to the high THC concentrates and unique high experience of marijuana wax, there are even more chances of dependency on this wax in search of that ‘next big high.’

Every substance has its side effects, and cannabis is no exception. Although it offers excellent psychedelic impacts, it has its side effects, and since weed wax intensifies the good ones, the same applies to the bad ones.

Wrapping Up on Marijuana Wax:

Marijuana wax is a fantastic way to enjoy a super-duper high experience while reducing the stress and variety of other medical conditions. But be careful of the laws regarding the use of recreational cannabis in your state.

All in all, marijuana wax is a great addition to your cannabis experience if you love experimenting with weed.
