Learning how to roll a blunt is a necessary skill if you want to earn and keep your Stoner Pro Card (patent pending).

Rolling a joint will get you accepted— all cannaseurs should acquire that skill — and rolling a cross joint will get you the adoring looks you’ve been craving all your life.

But to truly set yourself apart from the crowd, you need to know how to roll a blunt — and roll it well.

In this article, the all-things-cannabis experts at cannabisnic give you a step-by-step guide to help you learn, practice, and master the art and science of rolling a blunt.

Blunt 101

At its most basic, a blunt is marijuana rolled in a smokable wrapper.

But then, so is a joint and a spliff and a Thai stick. What’s more, you should never, ever refer to one as the other unless you want to lose all cred as a cannaenthusiast.

While you’re here, we’ll set you straight on the blunt angle, but for more information on joints, spliffs, and Thai sticks, take a moment to read these helpful articles:

• Blunt, Joint, Spliff: What’s The Difference?
• Thai Sticks: The Ultimate Cannabis Blunt

OK, so now let’s focus on what makes a blunt a blunt. We’ll address this question by breaking everything down into five categories:

• Interior
• Exterior
• Color
• Size
• Flavor

Doing so will give you points of reference for when you compare a blunt to a joint to a spliff to a Thai stick.

Interior

The interior of a blunt is strictly marijuana. The strain doesn’t matter one lick — only that it’s 100-percent cannabis.

A blunt mixed with any non-cannabis-based product is not a blunt and should be referred to by a different name.

Exterior

This is what makes a blunt a blunt and sets it apart from all the other smokable marijuana products.

A blunt is a piece of tobacco paper or cleaned-out cigar wrap filled with your choice of marijuana.

Color

Blunts are brown, and that’s all you get. No wacky colors or fun prints. Just the dull brown color of dirt or mud.

Size

Blunts can range in size. But because they use wrap or paper meant for cigars, they are almost always longer and thicker than the typical joint.

While the length doesn’t vary all that much, the thickness can fluctuate depending on the size of the wrapper you’re using and the amount of marijuana you pack inside.

Flavor

The flavor of a blunt depends, in large part, on the type of wrapping you use.

At the most basic, you’ll taste tobacco alongside your strain of choice. Sometimes that’s good. Sometimes it’s bad.

You’ll have to experiment to find the right strain/wrapper combination (or you could just purchase a pre-rolled Honest Blunt — the freshest, most flavorful, longest-burning blunt available).

Now that you can distinguish a blunt from a joint from a stick in the ground, let’s discuss how to roll a blunt.

How To Roll A Blunt

What You’ll Need

• Cigars or cigar wraps
• Your favorite strain of weed
• Grinder
• Small knife or razor blade
• Clean tray to work on
• Water
• Paper towel
• Patience
• Practice

Instructions

1A) Buy A Cigar Wrap

There are two ways to get started learning how to roll a blunt (hence the 1A here and the 1B below): the easy way and the hard way.

The easy way is to buy an empty cigar wrap at your local smoke shop or online — actually, the easiest way is to buy a pre-rolled blunt.

But there is something to be said about DIY, so you should at least know how to roll a blunt on your own even if you don’t do it that often.

1B) Empty The Tobacco Out Of A Cigar

This takes a little bit of doing, but the results are well worth the effort. Before you start, be sure you have multiple cigars on hand because you will make mistakes and have to start over.

Look and feel for a bump or “vein” that runs the length of the cigar. That’s the glue the manufacturer used to seal the cigar, and that’s where you want to split it.

You can use your fingers to massage and “crack” the cigar, or you can use a small knife (an X-acto or razor blade works well) to slice the cigar in half lengthwise.

Once you’ve gotten the cigar open, empty the tobacco into a bowl if you want to use it again or the garbage if you don’t.

Feel free to cut off the glue ridge with a sharp edge of your choice.

2) Grind Your Weed

If you don’t have a grinder, get one. It makes everything easier.

If you need to clean said grinder, take a few minutes to read our instructional article How To Clean A Grinder In 5 Easy Steps. Doing so — actually cleaning the grinder, not just reading the article — will improve the taste and experience of your final blunt.

Grind up 1-1.5 grams of your favorite bud so you have plenty to work with. And don’t get too aggressive with your grinding.

The goal here is a nice, fluffy consistency with plenty of small chunks. This facilitates airflow and makes the burn easier and more enjoyable.

3) Moisten The Cigar Wrap

This step is optional — and with practice, you may not need it anyway — but we want to make it easy for those first-timers out there.

With a damp paper towel, pat the cigar wrap until it feels moist. Be careful not to saturate the cigar wrap with too much liquid (so no dunking it in a bowl of water).

Getting the cigar wrap just a little bit wet will make it easier to work with and prevent it from tearing in places it shouldn’t.

4) Load It Up

Pack the empty cigar wrap with as much weed as possible. This makes the end product better because an underloaded blunt will collapse after you light it.

Pro Tip: Load up the center of the blunt with more weed than the ends. When you roll it, the weed tends to spread and fill out the ends for a nice, even thickness.

5) Roll It Up

This is the part that takes patience and practice.

Roll the cannabis-filled cigar wrap between your fingers and thumbs until you’ve got a closed tube with weed inside. Be gentle so you don’t crack or tear the cigar wrap and ruin the look and feel of your blunt.

When you’ve got the blunt all closed up, moisten the exposed edge from end to end and then seal it down (like licking an envelope).

Pro Tips:

1. Practice your rolling technique with the tobacco from the now-empty cigar and a quarter of a piece of printer paper (4.25” x 5.5” or 10.8 cm x 14 cm for those of you who can handle the metric system).
2. As an alternative to licking the edge before closing, you can seal your blunt with a bit of cannabis oil if you’re feeling really daring and want an extra kick.
3. “Bake” the blunt by running a lighter lengthwise under the seam and around the outside to help seal everything together.

6) Light It Up

After admiring the beauty of the blunt you’ve created, light that sucker up! Toke it for yourself or puff, puff, pass with your friends.

Blunt Benefits

1) Burn Time

The thickness and composition of the wrapper make a blunt burn slower than the more short-lived, flash-in-the-pan joint.

Burn time is a major bonus, especially when smoking in a group. Participants get more tokes because the whole thing lasts longer.

2) A Different Type Of Buzz

The tobacco in the cigar wrap provides a “buzz” similar to the caffeine in coffee.

This pleasurable effect often precedes the cannabis high, makes for a different type of buzz, and is a nice addition to the cannabis experience.

3) A Higher High

Blunts are usually thicker than joints, and many feel that they get higher from a blunt because of the extra cannabis.

Whether this is true in all cases or just a matter of perception is open for debate, but the addition of tobacco may have something to do with it as well.

Get Creative With Your Blunts

We talked about the construction of a blunt at the beginning of this article — inside is cannabis, outside is cigar wrap.

After you’ve got those basics, though, the sky’s the limit on what you can add to make your blunt even better.

To help you customize your blunt, here are some DIY suggestions that take everything to a whole new level.

1. Sprinkle a dash of kief on top of your cannabis before you close to add a kick of flavor and a bump of psychedelic effects to your blunt
2. Moisten your blunt with THC oil and roll the whole thing in kief if you’re really adventurous
3. Roll a Backwoods blunt
4. Add some wax or shatter or budder to the inside of your blunt
5. Roll a cross blunt
6. Make your own moon rock weed and add it to the mix

Get creative and we’re sure you’ll come up with some cool variations of your own.

Will All Blunts Get You High?

This may seem like a trick question because when you first learn how to roll a blunt, you’ll probably be doing it for the sole purpose of taking a psychedelic trip.

Because of that, you may think that all blunts are the same and that all blunts will get you high.

We’re here to inform you, friend, that they won’t. It all depends on what you roll inside.

Yes, the outside is always going to be cigar wrap — if it’s not, you’re smoking something else — but, on the inside, your blunt can be anything you want it to be.

It can be hemp. It can be a high THC strain. It can be a high CBD/low THC strain. As long as you’re rolling with some form of cannabis, a blunt it will be.

That highlights the importance of knowing a bit about the ganja you’ve got on your hands.

If you bought it yourself, you’ll know what it is. But if someone hands you a zip and tells you to show them how to roll a blunt, you’ll want to ask some questions before you take a toke.

Once you’ve got the information you need, here are some general rules for assessing the possibility that the blunt will get you high.

1. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt contains one percent THC or less (commonly known as hemp), you won’t feel a thing.
2. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt contains one percent to five percent THC, you’ll start to feel something (depending on your pot experience).
3. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt contains five percent to 10 percent THC, you’ll probably hear a shape or two.
4. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt contains 10 percent to 15 percent THC, you’ll be well on your way to high town.
5. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt contains anything above 15 percent THC, kiss reality goodbye.
6. If the cannabis you roll in your blunt is a CBD-dominant strain used for medicinal purposes, you will not get high.

So, back to the original question: Will all blunts get you high?

No, they won’t. The lower the THC dose, the less likely you’ll feel anything at all.

What Does A Blunt High Feel Like?

Again, it all depends on what you load in your blunt before you roll it up.

THC

If the strain (or creative extras) are more than one percent THC, you’re going to find yourself experiencing the seven stages of being high.

These include:

1. A dramatic shift in your reality (what we’ve dubbed the “what-the-eff-just-happened moment”)
2. Euphoria and a complete lack of all worries
3. Deep contemplation
4. Paranoia
5. The Munchies
6. Contentment and happiness
7. Fade out and sleep

That’s not to say that you won’t encounter more (or fewer) stages from your blunt high, but these are the most common ones we’ve experienced in our many years dating Mary Jane.

CBD

If the strain you add to your cigar wrap is high-CBD/low-THC, you’ll experience a different set of feelings than you would with a THC strain.

These include:

1. Relaxation
2. Less nausea
3. Increased appetite
4. Less pain and swelling
5. Improved mood
6. Less anxiety
7. More focus
8. Dry mouth

Additionally, CBD is unique in that it can interfere with your liver’s ability to process other drugs (read, prescription drugs). Be sure to talk to your doctor about potential conflicts before you add CBD blunts to your repertoire.

It’s also important to understand that CBD is biphasic, meaning that, at low levels, it provides a certain list of effects, while at high levels, it provides a different list of effects.

If this seems foreign to you, think about alcohol (also biphasic). At low levels, it’s a stimulant. At high levels, it’s a depressant.

CBD doesn’t act exactly the same as alcohol — stimulant on one end, depressant on the other — but the effects will change as the dosage level increases.

Hand-Rolling Vs. Machine-Rolling

The instructions above focus mainly on learning how to roll a blunt the old-fashioned way: by hand.

But there is another way — the blunt-rolling machine.

We use a large, industrial blunt-rolling machine to produce some of the best blunts in the business.

Our machine is a mass of gears and motors and computer controls that can roll hundreds, if not thousands of perfect blunts every day.

But for those of you who only need one or two blunts a day — and don’t have a big pile of cash burning a hole in your pocket — there are plenty of simple manually-operated blunt-rolling machines on the market.

If you’ve ever seen a joint-rolling machine, the concept is the same for the blunt-rolling machine, only slightly bigger.

Most of these “machines” cost less than ten bucks and make building a blunt so easy that even a complete noob could sit down and figure it out.

That said, we firmly believe that everyone should learn how to roll a blunt by hand.

We tell everyone who asks us for advice and guidance the same thing: learn the skill so that you’ve got the skill in your toking toolbox.

You just never know when you’ll be without your trusty machine or find yourself somewhere that you can’t get a hold of one of HMJ’s delicious blunts.

So why do we even bring up the whole issue of hand-rolling vs. machine-rolling — other than to encourage you to learn the skill for yourself?

Because there’s a whole debate among cannaenthusiasts about which method is better.

Only One Or The Other Will Do

Many feel that hand-rolling is the purest way to build all your joints, blunts, spliffs, and Thai sticks, and that machine-rolling is flying the finger in the face of the cannagods.

Basically, they feel that anything you can smoke is better having been hand-rolled — with the exception of the bong, we guess, which would burn the hell out of your hands if you tried it.

It reminds us of the legend that the best Cuban cigars were hand-rolled on the thighs of virgins.

Really? What does that do?

Absolutely nothing, except perhaps introduce a whole hygiene issue into the discussion.

The hand-rolled angle was just a way to make that particular cigar stand out. It didn’t contribute to the taste or the smoker’s overall enjoyment. The quality of the wrapper and the stuff on the inside did that.

The one concession we will make is that whoever came up with the whole “virgin thigh” thing was a frickin’ genius because we’re still talking about it today.

Which Is Better?

Honestly, cannaboys and cannagirls, it’s entirely up to you.

Asking which is better, hand-rolling or machine-rolling, is like asking which is better, cats or dogs? Toyota or Chevy? Coffee or tea? Pens or pencils? Yoda OG or Blue Dream?

Remember, variety is the spice of life and different strokes for different folks.

It all comes down to whatever makes your smoking experience the most enjoyable.

Because, either way — whether you hand-roll or machine-roll — when all is said and done, you’ve still got a joint in your hand. That’s really all that matters.

We recommend that you learn both methods and then decide for yourself which one to use most often.

Pros And Cons Of Hand-Rolled Vs. Machine-Rolled

Again, we’re not taking sides in the debate over hand-rolled versus machine-rolled anything. We do recommend that you learn how to hand-roll for yourself.

You never know when society is going to break down and you’ll turn into a nomadic stoner hunting for whatever landrace strain you can find.

Think of it as a survival skill!

After you learn how to roll a blunt, you can do whatever makes you feel good and use a machine eight times out of ten.

We don’t care. We just want everyone to know how to do for themselves. To help you decide, here’s a list of pros and cons from each side of the issue.

Hand-Rolled Blunts

Pros

• No need for extra supplies
• Master a new skill
• Roll anywhere

Cons

• Takes practice
• Not the fastest method
• Produces irregular joints

Machine-Rolled Blunts

Pros

• Uniformity
• Easy to use
• Fast

Cons

• Bad rollers produce bad blunts
• Only rolls one size
• Can develop into snobbish behavior

Many of the pros and cons of the hand-rolled versus machine-rolled debate are the same for joints as well.

For a more in-depth discussion of these pros and cons, check out this article from the HMJ blog: Joint-Rolling Machine Vs. Hand-Rolling: Which Is Better?

How To Roll A Blunt: What’s Inside Matters

If you want to roll the best blunt possible, start with a high-quality, sustainably sourced, organically grown cannabis bud.

At our Rocky-Mountain-based grow facility, we employ world-class organic growing methodologies to provide cannabis connoisseurs with the purest marijuana experience on the planet.

We grow our plants the way Mother Nature intended: in organic soil without chemicals or pesticides. We even hand-trim our plants so that they’re organic from the ground up.

Not only does that make all your smoking, dabbing, and edible experiences infinitely better, but it also means that the blunts you roll are better, tastier, and well worth the effort.

Marijuana smokers have always been a creative lot. Take for example, all the terms we have for dating Mary Jane (oops, there’s another one):  bake, toke, hit the hippie lettuce, rip, get irie, bug out, and many, many more.

But recently, a new term—dabbing—has been growing in popularity as marijuana aficionados discover its benefits. Dabbing involves vaporizing marijuana concentrates, so, while it’s similar to smoking the traditional spliff, it’s also very different.

It’s these cannabis concentrates that we’ve come here to talk about today and we’ll be focusing on one in particular:  marijuana wax (or just “wax”). Let’s start from the beginning.

What Is Marijuana Wax?

Marijuana wax is a form of hash oil concentrate (or just “concentrate”) often produced using a process known as butane hash oil extraction.

If those terms are foreign to you, don’t worry. We’ll explain them in the next section.

For now, it’s enough to know that marijuana wax got its name because, in its final form, it looks like earwax or, more appetizingly, thick honey.

Now before you get grossed out by its appearance, look back at the first sentence in this section. Notice that wax is a concentrate. What does that mean?

It means that wax contains more THC than your traditional marijuana (sometimes 80% or more). Are you starting to see the appeal?

But how is marijuana wax made and how does it get to be so potent? Here’s how.

Creating Marijuana Wax: Butane Extraction

Marijuana wax is most commonly made through a process known as butane extraction.

Traditional marijuana buds are packed into a tube or pipe and then butane—more commonly known as lighter fluid—is forced through the contents.

Thanks to some really complicated and technical sciency stuff that we don’t need to be concerned with, the butane bonds with the THC in the buds and essentially pulls it from the plants. The butane is then allowed to evaporate and the resulting concentrate is an oily substance aptly called butane hash oil.

If the process of creating butane hash oil is still a bit hazy (pun intended), think about it in another, more familiar way.

If marijuana buds were sugar, butane extraction would be like boiling sugar water until it becomes thick. The resulting substance—caramel—is a much sweeter form of the sugar you started with because all the “extra stuff” has been removed (through the boiling) leaving only the sweetness behind.

That’s butane extraction in a nutshell. The butane extraction is also why the concentrates are so much more potent than traditional marijuana:  because the extraction process pulled out all the THC and left the “extra stuff” behind.

Once the extraction process is complete, the butane hash oil concentrate is then either hardened to form shatter or cooked a bit longer to form marijuana wax.

Now before you run out to buy some butane to make your own marijuana wax, be warned:  butane extraction is a very dangerous process if not performed correctly.

First of all, butane is a highly flammable substance that can explode if not handled properly.

Second, butane vapors can collect at low levels (the floor) where you’re not likely to detect them until it’s too late. Add any kind of spark to this mix and you’ve got big problems.

Third, butane vapor can be deadly if inhaled in high quantities so it’s important to work in a well-ventilated area.

Butane extraction is very similar to the process used to make methamphetamines (meth) and we’ve all seen the charred results on TV when that goes wrong (no more trailer!).

Bottom line: Leave butane extraction to the experts with the fancy (and expensive) equipment

Instead, try this much safer option to get your DIY marijuana wax on.

How To Make Marijuana Wax At Home

Ice Water Extraction

Ice water extraction is ideal for those who don’t want to worry about explosions or fires but still want the satisfaction of making their own marijuana wax from scratch.

The marijuana wax you make with ice water extraction is also called bubble wax (or sometimes bubble hash) because of the bubble bags (fancy names for the sieve-like screens) you use to separate the trichomes from the plant matter.

Ice water extraction is extremely safe (‘cause, as far as we know, ice water has yet to explode or catch fire), but the process does require a bit more time, patience, and elbow grease than other extraction methods.

Be patient and keep at it! The results are well worth the effort.

Ingredients

1. Your favorite high-quality high-CBD or high-THC strain
2. 10-15 pounds of ice
3. 5-gallon buckets (at least one for mixing and one for wet screens)
4. Purified water
5. Cheesecloth
6. Stir sticks
7. Bubble bags (check online for this item)

Instructions

1. Layer your bubble bag or screen (three or four of them) in the bucket from smallest to largest. The smaller the number, the smaller the screen.
2. Add 3-4 ounces of high-quality cannabis.
3. Pour half a bag of ice on top of the cannabis.
4. Add enough purified water (about eight cups) to cover the cannabis under the ice.
5. Mix the ice, water, and buds together.
6. Continue to agitate the mixture for 15 or 20 minutes.
7. Let the mix settle for another 20 or 30 minutes.
8. Lift the first bubble bag part-way out and let it drain back into the bucket. You can even shake and squeeze the bag to get all the water out.
9. Set that bag aside.
10. Remove the next bubble bag and scrape out the material at the bottom of the screen (a spoon works great here). This is marijuana wax!
11. Deposit the wax onto your cheesecloth. This is the least pure form of marijuana wax (but it’s still good) so keep going.
12. Remove the next bubble bag and let it drain into the bucket. Don’t squeeze this bag to remove the water. Just let it drain.
13. Scrape out the goo at the bottom of the bag and deposit it onto your cheesecloth. There should be more material in this bag compared to the first one. And it will be lighter in color and contain less plant matter.
14. Continue removing bubble bags from the bucket and scraping out the marijuana wax material until you’ve reached the last one.
15. Fold the cheesecloth on top of the goo and press gently to remove the leftover water.
16. You’re left with three or four different grades of marijuana wax depending on how many screens you used. Keep in mind that you can mix all the concentrate together. You don’t have to keep it separate. We just wanted to highlight the different qualities so you understand what you’re getting.
17. Repeat this process one or two more times to get as many of the trichomes off the bud as possible.

That’s it! You’ve learned how to make marijuana wax. Congratulations!

So now that you’ve made your own DIY wax, you’d probably like to get it in your body. Here’s how to do that.

How Is Marijuana Wax Consumed?

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, marijuana wax is consumed by vaporizing a small dab of the concentrate with a special bong called a dab rig and then inhaling the smoke.

A dab rig can take several forms and is not much different from a regular marijuana bong, but the vaporizer does have a few extra parts you should know about.

There are two basic differences between a regular bong and a dab rig:  the nail and the dome.

The Nail

The most important part of the dab rig is the nail. A nail can be made from titanium, glass, ceramic, quartz, or any number of other materials.

Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks so make sure you do some research to find the one that works best for you.

The nail is heated (typically with a blowtorch) and then the dab of wax is applied to the HOT surface where it instantly vaporizes (a.k.a. turns to smoke). The smoke can then be drawn down into the pipe just like a traditional bong.

Some dab rigs reverse the process and use a solid glass bowl to hold the wax and a hollow metal nail attached to tubing (like a hookah).

The hollow metal nail is heated and then applied to the wax in the solid glass bowl. A strong inhalation then draws the smoke through the hollow hail, through the tubing, over the water, up the pipe, and into your lungs.

The Dome

The dome is a spherical piece (usually glass) that fits over the nail to help contain the vaporized marijuana wax so that it doesn’t just float off into space.

The dome makes it possible to inhale most of the smoke and allows you to use less wax because you get more vapor in your lungs.

Another Piece You May See

A carb cap is another common piece you may eventually use on your dab rig.

Most dabbing is done by heating the nail to high temperatures but this process can be difficult to learn and do correctly.

To help prevent these “mis-fires”, some dabbers heat the nail to lower temperatures and then use a carb cap instead of a dome. The carb cap creates a mini oven that helps vaporize the marijuana wax at lower temperatures.

Some dabbers claim that the smoke created by using a carb cap and lower temperatures gives a smoother, more enjoyable experience.

Other Ways To Consume Marijuana Wax

Marijuana Wax In A Traditional Bong

Don’t have a dab rig and all these extra pieces lying around? No worries. With a little bit of doing, you can smoke marijuana wax with a traditional bong.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Find one or two nugs of dried and cured bud (not nugs of wax) in your stash that are slightly larger than the diameter of the downstem.
2. Insert those nugs of bud into the bowl.
3. Add a few small pieces of wax.
4. Gather another nugget of marijuana from your stash, remove any seeds and stems, and, while holding it over the bowl, rip it into small pieces with your fingers. The finer you make it the easier it is to pack in the bowl and the better it will burn. Alternatively, you can use a grinder to shred your cannabis before packing it on top of your wax.
5. Fill the bowl the rest of the way with shredded marijuana.
6. Light up, puff away, and pass the bong around.

When you pack the bowl with wax in the middle, you create an oven-like effect — much like the carb cap does — where the wax vaporizes thanks to the burning ganja around it (e.g., at lower temperatures).

These lower temperatures preserve more of the cannabinoids, allowing you to inhale more of the good stuff in every breath.

Marijuana Wax In A Joint, Blunt, Or Spliff

Thankfully, the dab rig and the bong aren’t the only ways to have fun with marijuana wax.

Aside from the bong, one of the easiest, most familiar, and most accessible methods is to roll a bit of marijuana wax in your joint, blunt, or spliff. This works well if you’re rolling your own product.

With a little effort, though, you can also add a concentrated kick to pre-rolled blunts and joints.

If you’re rolling a joint or blunt (or even a cross joint) from scratch, cut three or four small pieces of wax off the larger wad and distribute them evenly down the length of your smoke stick before closing.

If you’ve purchased a product from a local dispensary and want to add a bit of marijuana wax to the mix, you’ll have to deconstruct the product, add the wax, and then reroll everything together in order to smoke it.

It’s kind of a pain to do this because you first have to deconstruct the product before reconstructing it. But adding wax to a pre-rolled item is sometimes quicker and less stressful.

After adding the concentrate, you can rely on the “memory” of the wrapper to roll up much quicker instead of struggling again and again to form the flat sheet into something resembling a tube.

The manufacturer has done all the hard work for you (i.e., rolling it the first time).

Marijuana Wax In A Vape Pen

Some vape pens have the capability to vaporize marijuana wax, but be sure to read the specs before you buy.

Most vape pens only burn vape juice or accept specific pre-filled cartridges.

The more expensive ones allow you to increase or decrease the heat in order to vaporize different types of concentrates, including shatter, wax, budder, crumble, and honeycomb.

That said, these types of vape pens are complicated — there are multiple settings you have to tweak before you can smoke — have a steep learning curve, and require lots of practice to master.

If you want to consume your marijuana wax right away, using the supplies you probably already have on-hand is a much better use of your time.

But, if you like the portability, discreteness, and reusability of the vape pen, by all means, find a model that allows you to vaporize marijuana wax and then practice, practice, practice to get it right.

Marijuana Wax In Edibles

We love to mix marijuana wax in our favorite edibles recipes, and we’re sure you will too.

We’ve added it to everything from butter and honey to tea and candy. We’ve even sprinkled it on top of our lunch salad to start our afternoon off on a high note.

Having said that, we always go as small as possible if we have to work after lunch because marijuana wax is concentrated cannabis, has a high THC count (or CBD count if you use a high CBD/low THC strain), and can really knock you on your back if you’re not careful.

There really are few things worse than being couch locked when you’ve got deadlines to meet or trying to balance your checkbook while your desk and computer dance the Lambada in front of you.

Why Is Marijuana Wax Growing In Popularity?

One word:  Potency.

As mentioned, THC percentages can reach as high as 80% (and sometimes higher). That’s more than three times higher than some of the strongest strains of traditional marijuana (at ~25% THC).

Dabbers testify to two distinct differences between dabbing and smoking:  faster effect and more intense highs.

Many report that the effects of dabbing are almost instantaneous and result in a much more intense high (both visually and physically).

Another reason it’s growing in popularity is because you don’t need much of it to get really high.

Most dabs are less than the size of your pinky nail (picture a mini-chocolate chip) so you can get a pretty big bang with just a little bit of product.

Does Marijuana Wax Cost More?

Yes, because cannabis wax is processed more than traditional marijuana, it costs more than traditional marijuana.

Traditional marijuana flower can cost between $15 and $20 per gram on the west coast while wax and other concentrates can cost between $70 and $100 for the same amount.

So while you may be paying more for the same amount, you’re getting a very high THC content  and will need considerably less of the concentrate to get really high.

It goes back to the old adage, you get what you pay for.

To Wax Or Not To Wax…

That is the question.

Though it sounds like a rip-roaring good time, dabbing with marijuana wax may not be for everyone. The best advice? Give it a try and see for yourself.

Maybe you’ll decide to do the dab forevermore. Maybe you’ll stick with the spliff instead. Maybe you’ll mix and match as the mood hits. It’s entirely up to you.

That’s the beauty of marijuana: there’re so many options.

You’re sure to find one that works for you, but you’ve got to try in order to decide.

Not sure what consumption methods are available? Visit the HMJ blog for all the ways you can smoke, dab, rub, and eat your way to a higher tomorrow ((just to name a few). We’re sure you’ll be surprised at all the possibilities.
