What Is Cannabis Wax?

Cannabis wax is a type of THC concentrate—a potent extract made by isolating cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. Known for its waxy texture and extremely high THC content (up to 80–90%), cannabis wax is typically consumed through dabbing, vaping, or mixing with flower.

In the US,UK and Canada, cannabis wax is popular in legal dispensaries.


✅ Is Cannabis Wax Legal for Medical Use?

Technically, yes—but only in very limited medical contexts.

Since the legalization of medical cannabis in the UK in 2018, THC-based products can be prescribed by specialist doctors for specific conditions like:

  • Chronic pain

  • Epilepsy

  • Multiple sclerosis

  • Chemotherapy-related nausea

However, cannabis wax is commonly prescribed. Most medical cannabis in the UK comes in the form of:

  • Cannabis flower (vaped, not smoked)

  • Cannabis oils or tinctures
