As cannabis concentrates become more commonly used, alternative products like waxes have gained popularity. Cannabis wax is a type of concentrated cannabis oil that is soft, opaque, and made from the extracted oils of a marijuana plant. Cannabis waxes can take on a crumbly texture crumble or honeycomb or a soft viscous texture brudder.
Cannabis wax is generally made using isopropyl alcohol or butane , with butane being the most common method. The process involves packing a tube with cannabis buds and forcing butane into one end of the tube. This forces the butane to bond to the THC found in the buds and draws it out from the plant.
After the butane evaporates, an oily substance remains that hardens into a wax. The risks are similar to that of a meth lab. Consequently, there have been increasing reports of houses, apartment buildings, and other structures exploding during the extraction process. When this happens, the people involved are either killed or become burn victims with broken bones who need skin grafts and reconstructive surgery.
The bottom line is that dabbing is a potentially dangerous process that comes with real risks to a person's health and overall well-being. It also is very appealing to teens and young adults. For this reason, parents and educators need to talk to young people about the risks associated with dabbing while stressing that just one hit can not only put them at risk for lifelong addiction but also can kill them if they take in too much. Learn the best ways to manage stress and negativity in your life.

This process can be dangerous due to the use of a blow torch and the high temperatures involved. Wax is also commonly consumed through vaporizers.
Most vaporizers have coils that burn to sufficient temperatures to handle wax, which is why this has become such a popular method. Using wax in a vape is easy, efficient, fast, and just as potent.
Many younger people are turning to this method for its discrete nature and great flavors. Potency is probably the most obvious benefit of choosing cannabis wax. High-quality wax will possess little to no butane and an immense quantity of THC.
Additionally, because dabbing with a rig turns the substance into a vapor, this method may potentially reduce smoking-linked lung damage because of the high temperatures involved in the combustion process.

Dear Stoner: My roommate and I are always arguing over whether we should get wax or regular weed. Can you tell me which is a better value between an eighth of bud or a gram of wax? Most stores sell grams of wax that are cheaper than an eighth of weed 3.
