Crumble: What It Is And How To Smoke It

Have you ever stopped to appreciate the different textures in food? Texture is often overshadowed by how things taste, but we think it’s important to recognize the importance of how something breaks apart, how it melts, or how it crumbles. Texture isn’t just important for cookies, cakes or other treats – your cannabis experience can be improved (or diminished) by the bud fibers, trichomes, waxiness, oiliness, or how it grinds or crumbles.

Have you ever heard of it? Many people compare crumble vs shatter or have heard of white crumble wax, but do you know how to make it? What about how to smoke it? A lot of stoners don’t even know what it is, so it’s time we got to know this delicious, potent weed treat in this week’s blog.

WHAT IS CANNABIS?

Cannabis is a plant species in the family Cannabaceae. It includes three primary subspecies: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis has been used for a variety of purposes, including for its medicinal and recreational effects. It is also known for its psychoactive compounds, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

WHAT IS THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It is responsible for the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use. THC acts on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which are involved in the regulation of mood, appetite, and other cognitive functions. The amount of THC in cannabis varies depending on the strain, with some strains having higher levels of THC than others.

WHAT IS CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD is one of many compounds, known as cannabinoids, that are found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more well-known compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use.

CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years as a natural remedy for a variety of health conditions, including anxiety, pain, and insomnia. It is also used to manage symptoms of conditions such as multiple sclerosis and help with epilepsy. CBD is available in a variety of forms, including oils, capsules, and topical creams.

WHAT IS CRUMBLE?

If you’re looking for a potent cannabis concentrate, look no further than crumble. This new product has quickly become a favorite among cannasseurs, and its unique texture and flavor make it a favorite among those looking for a high-quality product.

Why is crumble wax so popular? Unlike other concentrates like resin or shatter, or amber crumble is easy to add to your everyday smoking devices. Crumble gets its name from its unique texture, which is grainy, malleable, sticky, and looks like cookie crumbs drenched in honey. Crumble wax gets its interesting texture from the process by which it is extracted. So, let’s discuss how to make it.

HOW TO MAKE CRUMBLE WAX

White crumble wax is made by freezing buds and then extracting the cannabinoids using organic solvents. This process is different than most concentrate extractions, which start by heating the bud. This results in a lower-quality wax because the cannabinoids are destroyed. White crumble wax, on the other hand, is made from buds that have been frozen at very low temperatures, which preserves the cannabinoids and makes for a high-quality product.

After freezing, the buds are quickly exchanged into a solvent container or chamber. This fast transportation from extreme cold to regular temperatures, combined with the chemical reactions initiated by the solvents, divides the flowers from the trichomes, cannabinoids and terpenes.

Next, the plant materials are removed, leaving only the valuable potent stuff that we’re all keen on smoking. Finally, heat and pressure are added in order to force vaporization of the solvent and any excess liquid. This final purging step leaves behind the crumbly wax-like substance you’re after.

CRUMBLE VS SHATTER

Many people struggle with making crumble wax or smoking crumble, but another problem for many is the battle between crumble vs shatter. Both can be equally potent, have unique terpenes, and hit you in different ways. The real difference between crumble vs shatter comes down to moisture content.

Shatter and crumble are often extracted in the same way with different solvents, but the true difference between them comes down to how they’re dried (or if moisture is left in during the process).

Shatter is made from purified plant material that has been cooked under extremely high pressure in a vacuum chamber. This process eliminates any volatile substances, which leaves the shatter mixture in a completely stable condition and results in a crystal-clear product.

Waxes that are crumbled or made into honey crumble, take on a desirable texture because they are dried at a lower temperature than waxes that are made into shatter. This is because air is left in the drying chamber, which helps to create a waxy, crumbly texture.

Both types of concentrates have their own benefits, occupying different spectrums on thetexture, taste, and aroma departments. Now that we know more about what crumble is, how to make crumble, and the differences between crumble and shatter, let’s get to the fun part and learn how to smoke crumble!

HOW TO SMOKE CRUMBLE

Most people prefer to sprinkle crumble wax on their buds to give them a boost of high-potency THC. Crumble is a natural and convenient way to add high-potency wax to your cannabis plants, making it a great enhancer for joints, blunts, cigars, pipes, bongs, and vaporizers. Be aware, however, that crumble can be sticky and melty when combusted, potentially clogging your pipes, bowls, bongs, or vaporizers.

Many people are using dabbing rigs to avoid the clogging problems with crumble. Dabbing rigs make it easy to select globules of it, and there is no risk of clogging the rig or nail. Simply inhale away once it is heated up to the ideal temperature.

Vaping it is just as easy as vaping other melty substances such as shatter, resins, and wax. Most vaporizers are designed to handle crumble without any issues. Simply pack it tight and make sure it’s evenly spread throughout your flowers.

If you know how to use crumble wax, maybe try using it in your next edible recipe. With its sweet texture and intense terpenes and trichomes, many cannaseurs have fallen in love with it as a decorative addition. Simply sprinkle it on top of the next edible you’re about to bite into – just be careful, this stuff packs a punch!
