  • Butter, coconut oil, and MCT oil are great carriers for THC!
  • Raw wax won’t get you high in edibles. You must activated through decarboxylation.
  • Because wax is highly concentrated, understanding your dosage is key.

Understanding Cannabis Wax for Edibles

Cannabis wax is a concentrate packed with high levels of THC (or CBD). It comes in different textures, including:

  • Shatter: Glass-like and brittle.
  • Budder: Smooth and creamy.
  • Crumble: Dry and crumbly.
  • Live Resin: High in terpenes, great for flavor.

Why Use Wax for Edibles?

Cannabis wax offers several advantages for making edibles. Its higher potency means you need less material to achieve the desired effects, making it an efficient choice. Unlike flower, wax is easier to work with since it dissolves directly into fats without the need for straining.

Additionally, it has a minimal plant taste, allowing you to create edibles with better flavor and a smoother texture compared to traditional infusions.

Step 1: Decarbing Your Wax

Why? Raw wax won’t get you high unless it’s activated. Decarboxylation is essential to transform THC-A into THC, making it potent and effective in edibles.

Quick Decarb Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C).
  2. Place wax in an oven-safe dish (silicone or parchment-lined glass).
  3. Heat for 30-40 minutes until it bubbles and changes color.
  4. Let it cool. Now it’s ready to infuse!

Step 2: Infusing Wax into Oil or Butter

Alright, so, we’re tossing this stuff into some fat, right? That way, it’ll actually get soaked up by your body, and you’ll feel the full kick of those edibles. Simple as that, really.

Best Carrier Options:

  • MCT oil (great for tinctures).
  • Butter (for baking and cooking).
  • Coconut oil (best for edibles & drinks).

How to Infuse:

  1. Low & Slow: Heat your butter or oil on LOW (below 200°F).
  2. Mix: Add your decarbed wax and stir until fully dissolved.
  3. Cool & Store: Pour into a jar and keep it in the fridge.

Step 3: Dosing Your Edibles

Getting the right dose is essential when making edibles with wax. Because concentrates are highly potent, even a small miscalculation can lead to an overwhelming experience. Understanding how to measure and distribute your infused oil properly will ensure a pleasant and controlled high.

Quick Dosage Formula:

  • Know your wax’s potency (e.g., 80% THC = 800mg per gram).
  • Use my Dosage Calculator to figure out per-serving amounts.
  • Start with 5-10mg THC per serving if you’re unsure.

Step 4: Making Edibles with Wax-Infused Oil

With your infused oil ready, it’s time to put it to use in your favorite edible recipes. Whether you’re making sweet treats, savory dishes, or simple no-bake options, there are endless ways to enjoy cannabis-infused creations.
