Explore alternative ways to enjoy cannabis wax beyond dabbing. Try adding it to a joint or blunt, sprinkling it on top of a bowl, or vaporizing it using a suitable vape pen. These methods provide an enjoyable and versatile experience with cannabis wax.
Dabbing seems like the latest craze these days for cannabis professionals—but did you know there are ways to smoke cannabis wax other than dabbing? Yes, it’s true. Whether you don’t have a dab rig or just want to switch up your routine, let’s look at a few ways you can get creative with wax. Just in case you’re new to the wax game, we’ll start at the very beginning. Cannabis wax refers to a type of cannabis concentrate, similar to shatter. Wax is a softer, opaque oil that has lost its transparency after extraction. Unlike more transparent oils, the molecules of cannabis wax crystallize as a result of the agitation that happens in the extraction process. Similar to its more transparent cousins, wax can also take on different consistencies based on heat, moisture, and the texture of the oil before the residual solvents are removed from the product (otherwise known as purged). Runny oils with more moisture often form gooey waxes that are sometimes called “budder,” while the more stiff ones are likely to take on a soft, brittle texture known as “crumble” or “honeycomb.” The term “wax” can be used to describe all of these softer, solid textures. Dabbing has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years because cannabis concentrates are incredibly potent (sorry beginners, this is not for you), cost-effective, and flavorful. But dabbing is not the only way to enjoy all the benefits of cannabis wax. Let’s discuss. To smoke cannabis wax using a traditional glass bowl (either on a bong, bubbler, or spoon pipe), you first want to pack the bowl halfway with flower. Then collect a small ball of wax using a metal dabber (or really anything but your fingers because this stuff is STICKY), plop it in the bowl, and top with more flower. You want to place the wax sandwiched between some fresh nugs because you don’t want to ignite the wax directly. If you do, you run the risk of destroying precious cannabinoids and THC molecules. The thing we love about this method is that it’s incredibly simple. As long as you have access to good wax, quality buds, and a nice bowl, you’re all set. Much like dropping wax into a bowl, this technique is easy and requires only a few tools. All you need is the wax, some weed, rolling papers, and a good old-fashioned crutch. For the best results, start with the rolling paper and crutch. Next, place some ground flower into the middle of the paper, as you normally would when rolling a joint. Then, carefully place some wax on top of the weed. Do your best to get the wax down the middle so that the flower surrounds it on all sides when it gets rolled. Once your joint is filled, go ahead and roll it like usual. Things may get a little sticky, but with a little patience, you’ll have a super potent doobie on your hands. Just make sure you spark it evenly and get a good cherry going for smooth, flavorful smokes. Lastly, you can invest a cool piece of cannabis tech: a rechargeable wax pen. Learning how to use one of these might take a few uses, but you will get the hang of it with time, it’s one of the cleanest ways to enjoy marijuana wax. Each of the pens is different so be sure to read the instructions. However, all you typically need to do is: Carefully load a small ball of wax directly into the heating chamber. Make sure your device is charged and turned on. Hold down an ignition button while inhaling And that’s it! It’s a no-fuss way to get lit. There are a variety of ways to smoke cannabis wax besides using a dab rig. Whether you’re new to wax or a dabbing pro, these techniques can take your smoking session to a whole new level.

Whether you have a really cool family or you’re going to a 420-friendly Friendsgiving, we’re here to share our three must-have cannabis-infused recipes to get the holiday season kicked off on a lit foot.
CBD or THC-infused Apple Cider Recipe
While you’re cooking up a storm in the kitchen, you’re going to want something to whet your appetite—and what better than a refreshing glass of apple cider? This classic fall beverage will delight your palate with the flavors of sweet apples, bright oranges, and an array of baking spices to give it that autumn vibe.
To infuse this pre-dinner drink, all you have to do is grab a THC or CBD tincture of your choice. Just a few drops in every glass will have you feeling ready to devour your plate of turkey and mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Makes about 12 servings
10 medium apples (varying types), cut into quarters
1 orange, cut into quarters
4 cinnamon sticks
½ tablespoon cloves
16 cups water, more or less
1/2 cup brown sugar or pure maple syrup
CBD or THC tincture of choice (amount depends on desired dosage)
Optional spices: ½ teaspoon allspice, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and/or 1 inch fresh ginger
Instructions
In a large stockpot over medium heat or a crockpot on medium, add apples, oranges, spices, and brown sugar. Cover the mixture with water by at least two inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about two hours.
Once apples are soft, use a potato masher, rubber spatula, or wooden spoon to mash the fruit. Return cider to a simmer and let it do its thing uncovered for one hour.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheeseclots, pressing on the leftover solids with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to squeeze all of the juices out. Toss the leftovers.
Serve apple cider warm with a few drops of tincture to finish it off. Bonus points for garnishing with extra fruit or a cinnamon stick.
Cannabis-infused Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Let’s be honest. Thanksgiving dinner is all about the sides. Whether it’s the green beans, macaroni and cheese, fluffy dinner rolls or anything in between, everyone has their favorites. And one of the most popular Thanksgiving side dishes, is sweet potato casserole.
It’s sweet, it’s savory, and this version is filled with weed. To give this timeless dish an herbal twist, make a batch of cannabutter ahead of time. Then, add it to the casserole for an unforgettable finish.
Ingredients
Makes about 7 servings
Filling:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter/cannabutter, melted (ratio and amount will depend on desired dosage)
Extra butter to grease the baking dish
3-4 large sweet potatoes (roughly 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk of your choice
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans, almonds or walnuts
Optional: 1 ½ cup marshmallows
Instructions
For the filling: Add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft, usually about 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain and cool. Then, mash the potatoes until smooth (a few lumps are perfectly normal) and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 2-quart baking dish.
Whisk together the butter, cannabutter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a bowl until moist and the mixture starts to clump together. Fold in the nuts.
Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Top with marshmallow if you’d like.
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until mostly set in the center and golden on top. Serve hot enjoy.
Cannabis-infused Salted Caramel Cookies
Pumpkin pies are fun and all but few things feel like fall as much as salted caramel. Toss it in some cookies and you have a crowd-pleasing dessert on your hands. These buttery, cannabis-infused cookies hit all the right notes as you bring your night to a close.
Just grab your cannabutter and a few simple ingredients to impress the socks off your loved ones—or just make a batch for yourself. We won’t tell.
Ingredients
Makes about 36 cookies
1 cup unsalted butter/cannabutter, softened (ratio and amount depends on desired dosage)
1 cup white sugar (cane sugar is fine)
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups caramel chips (or soft caramel chews roughly chopped)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together flour, baking soda, sea salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until well combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
Mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Fold caramel chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. Pro-tip: Use a cookie scoop to make things simple. Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt before placing in the oven.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are juuuust beginning to brown at the edges. Be careful not to overbake.
Let them sit on the baking pan for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Or just devour them when they’re cool enough to touch. Your call.
