Accidental Weed Wax Eating: What will Happen?
Short Answer: If you accidentally eat weed wax, you will not get high or feel any effects unless you heat it first. Weed wax is a highly concentrated form of cannabis extract that is produced by using a solvent, such as butane, to separate the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids from the plant material. The resulting substance has a waxy texture and a very high potency, ranging from 60% to 90% THC. If you accidentally eat weed wax, you will not experience the same effects as smoking or dabbing it, unless you heat it first. This is because weed wax contains THCA, a non-psychoactive precursor to THC, which needs to be decarboxylated (exposed to heat) to become active. THCA can have some anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits, but it will not get you high or relieve pain. THC, on the other hand, can have various positive and negative effects, depending on the dose, the individual, and the strain. THC can induce euphoria, relaxation, creativity, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and anti-nausea effects, but it can also cause anxiety, paranoia, dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, and impaired memory and coordination. It is quite uncommon to eat weed wax due to its unpleasant taste and texture, and the delayed and unpredictable onset of effects. Unlike smoking or dabbing, which produce immediate effects that last for a few hours, eating weed wax can take up to two hours to kick in and last for six hours or more. The effects also depend on
