Now that marijauna has been legalized in Illinois, I feel I am almost obligated to develop my palate for all things cannabis. Normally, I just smoke flower – it’s quick, easy, with reliable, consistent high effects.
Recently however, I’ve ventured out from my norm and tried wax for the first time.
I heard about wax from hard core stoners and so I immediately ruled it out for myself. I feel pretty geeked with two good hits of flower off my vaporizer (old reliable). But cannabis is evolving and what kind of cannasuer would I be if I didn’t, at the very least, give wax a go. I grabbed the KilnRA and gave it a try.
The process:
I found the process of smoking wax to be a bit clumsy, there is definitely a learning curve that is a bit steeper than that of smoking flower with different devices. I wouldn’t recommend a newbie jump right in with both feet. Take your time and learn a little bit about the device you smoke out of, correct temperatures and how much to use at once. Here are a few links to some videos I found helpful:

My first attempt was twarted because of a device malfunction (a result of no prior research). I ordered new parts and tried again and it took me a few tries to get a good rhythm for how hard to hit it for the high I was comfortable with. Intimidated, I aired on the side of caution and started out too small to feel anything. I was a little perturbed with the trial and error phase and thought that wax wasn’t that great. Eventually I did work my way up to the sweet spot, got a decent hit with a good buzz and was able to give a decent opinion on the high.
The high:
My high in one word: Clean.
The wax I smoked was a hybrid and I tried it with a friend, who didn’t remember the exact name. It’s a shame really, because I am a fan of this kind of the high. Something about it felt very pure. I felt the typical hybrid head and body buzz combo, and this high was head leaning. I felt more lucid and uplifted than any flower I’ve smoked. It is a light airy high.
I deem this great for whatever makes you feel great. You’ll get that burst of energy for a long to do list, laser focus for a deep project, or chill vibes for a laid back movie night. This is the kind of high that freshens whatever you’re in the mood for. I would say this wax is a versatile option. The only thing it has me left wondering is if this is a result of the strain, or the cannabis product type (i.e. wax vs flower).
My first time smoking wax has me intrigued to discover more.
