Are you looking for a way to upgrade and boost your joint? Then twaxing might be just the thing for you. By twaxing, a hit from a joint or blunt becomes a lot more intense. Moreover, it burns more slowly, so all the fun lasts longer. But what is twaxing exactly, you probably wonder. Read on and we'll tell you everything about how to twax a joint. 

Why should you twax a joint?

Welcome to rolling a jonko 3.0. This is where all the magic happens! Maybe you didn't know, but this is what you have been looking for all your life! To twax a joint really can be a life changing event. It is a simple method to upgrade and boost your existing blunt, jonko, doobie, joint, or whatever you like to name it. Twaxing is applying a cannabis concentrate to your joint . It can also be done with a bowl or pipe. Twaxing a joint of blunt can be done in two different ways. The marijuana concentrate can be applied both on the inside as well as on the outside of the joint. When applied on the outside it is glued to the tissue/rolling paper, making it a real eye-catcher too. So, if you want to show-off big time and impress your smoke buddies, then read on quickly and learn everything about how to twax and create an awesome joint.

The great thing about twaxing is that you can put all your creativity in it. And of course, it gives an awesome buzz. After all, you add a super strong cannabis concentrate to your already existing powerful joint. The buzz this creates is fantastic and effects last long time. Do you consider yourself a newbie in the field of concentrates? Then listen. This is serious stuff. The fact that it is strong is already contained in the name "concentrate". All effective and powerful substances such as THC are extracted out of the cannabis plant and shaped into some kind of concentrate, like budder, wax, BHO or shatter. A small amount of concentrate therefore consists of many effective, mind-blowing ingredients. This goes way beyond the buzz you'll get form consuming your average cannabis nugget. Do you want to use your home-grown flower tops for packing your joints and blunts? Be sure to buy your weed seeds from a well-known, reliable seed seller. Only seeds containing good genetics grow weed plants that produce a high quality yield.

You need a cannabis concentrate to twax a joint

Cannabis concentrates provoke an uplifting effect and boost your energy. But as you know there are many different types of marijuana concentrates. BHO, Wax, Shatter, just to name a few. And all these different concentrates have a different effects on their users. So, the thing is, if you tried one concentrate, this doesn't mean you know all other concentrates and their effects as well. Different compositions, means different effects. So don't think you know concentrates if you tried only once, because there are a lot of different marijuana concentrates out there and every one of them provokes a different high. Actually, this is good news and bad news. Bad news because you always have to be a little careful because you don't know exactly what you will get and how your body and mind reacts. And good, because there is an awfully lot to explore! 

Anyway, let's see how twaxing a joint works. Let's do a short, blunt-twaxing workshop, shall we? There are actually two ways of twaxing. With one method you apply an amount of concentrate on the inside of your cannabis cigarette. And with the other method you glue the marijuana concentrate on the outside. You can read more about the advantages and disadvantages below. Every method has pros and cons. So, dive in and experiment with twaxing yourself. Always start with a low dose and only increase the dose when you are up for it. Too much intake of THC (of which there is a lot in cannabis concentrates) can have negative consequences. And we want twaxing to be a fun, positive experience, right? So use in moderation and read on to discover everything about twaxing and relaxing. 

Twaxing a joint on the inside

Legal changes and legalization have made it easier to buy cannabis concentrates. But if you can't get you hands on it where you live, there is also the option of producing it yourself. Making a cannabis concentrate is not very easy, but with a clear step-by-step plan, everyone will succeed. To produce a cannabis concentrate, kief can be used. Kief is the weed dust that stays behind in your grinder, every time you grind your weed buds. After a while of saving up you'll have a considerable amount of kief. If you have, you are able to make a concentrate out of it. The simplest way is to heat up the kief. When making hash, kief also gets heated. But as you know, the structure of hashish remains is a bit dry. For twaxing you need a more liquid concentrate, like a wax, rosin or BHO. 

Useful tips on how you can best twax a joint.

Do you want to try twaxing? The easiest way is to add a concentrate to the inside of your joint. Suppose you prefer to use a pipe (or bowl), you can put a little concentrate on top of the herbs with which you have filled your pipe (or bowl). The use of a pipe (or bowl) is useful with concentrates that are a bit drier in structure.

It then works the same as when building a normal joint. Proceed as you are used to. The only difference is that you add a cannabis concentrate of your choice to your joint before rolling it up. For example, choose dry sift, rosin or ice water hash. Spread the concentrate evenly over the (grinded) buds and roll up the joint as usual.

Do you prefer BHO? Good choice! You can break it into small pieces and spread them all over. The way you add it to your joint depends on the consistency of the concentrate in question. If it is a liquid, it is different than when it is crispy and breakable. If a concentrate is hard you can make it malleable by heating it a little. Squeeze it between your fingers, like with putty or alike, and you will see it becomes smoother and softer, so it's easier to work with. 

Twaxing a joint on the outside

Do you want maximum results and impressive looks? Then add your cannabis concentrate to the outside of your joint. Great examples of waxed joints can be found on the internet or Instagram. For the application on the outside, your concentrate must have a sticky structure, otherwise it will not glue well. For example, budder makes it difficult. Ensure binding with the rolling paper by heating the concentrate a little. It therefore sticks better. Proceed by working the concentrate in a line (type of hose shape) around the joint. This gives it a nice swirly effect. By gently pulling the canna concentrate it gets thinner. The starting point is the most important, because the concentrate must first adhere well to the paper there. If necessary, heat it with a lighter to make it softer, malleable and stickier. 

Isn't this enough for you yet? Then roll your sticky with oil-covered joint through a dryer concentrate such as kief, ice water hash or dry sieven. OMG, this really creates an extra punch on top of that already power packed joint! This will make you go highs as a kite for sure. 

Does the dry concentrate not stick well to the paper? Then heat the concentrate lightly with a lighter. Now roll the joint through the dust, or if you now sprinkle the dry concentrate over it, you will see that it will stick. 

Bear in mind that if you light the joint, the concentrate will become liquid and may drip. That's dangerous because you can burn yourself. Keep turning the joint around so the hot viscous concentrate is always on top. This prevents your concentrate from dripping off, which is both dangerous and a waste.

Are twaxing and dabbing the same?

Many cannabis concentrate users wonder if dabbing and twaxing are the same. And whether they cause the same psychoactive effects. But the comparison between twaxing and dabbing actually makes no sense. They are actually very different. Both consumption methods use concentrates, that is true, but they belong to different categories.

With dabbing you inhale a cannabis concentrate that evaporates very quickly. These concentrates that are suitable for dabbing contain little to no plant material at all. And no more solvents. But with twaxing you inhale many more different substances. All ingredients used to build the joint get burned and that provides a different experience in terms of taste, smell and effect. First, you build the joint with ground marijuana buds. Some people use hemp flour, by the way. In addition, the cannabis concentrate evaporates. And finally, the burning rolling paper also influences the entire smoking process and the taste and smell. It's just a more complex combustion.

Twaxing and dabbing therefore have different inputs. The two methods use other ingredients. The combustion temperature is also on different levels and that shouldn't be underestimated in the overall effect. Dabbing produces a purer smoke because it is only the concentrate that evaporates. You can expect a thick smoke from twaxing due to the combination of mutually reinforcing ingredients. This usually causes a more intense effect than with dabbing concentrates.

What provides the best experience - dabbing or twaxing?

This question is difficult to answer and depends completely on personal preferences. Some stoners just prefer the feeling of a good old traditional, burning joint. While other users prefer to dab, often because of the smooth smoke. So, if you like smoking, then it's probably best to twax a joint.

Twaxing can also be applied with CBD concentrates

Another advantage of twaxing a joint is that you can also use a CBD concentrate. It doesn't necessarily have to be a concentrate containing a high THC conten. Instead, you can opt for a concentrate with therapeutic properties, such as a CBD concentrate. Or what about hemp flour? With that you reap the full spectrum of cannabinoids that offer beneficial, medical effects.

Addressing delegates at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, TCL unveiled its first self-branded smartphone, whilst further revealing that it had concrete plans to also produce foldable electronics and 5G phones. TCL has years of experience producing consumer electronics under the BlackBerry and HP Palm brands, but this announcement marked its first serious step into the global smartphone market.

According to Stefan Streit, TCL global marketing manager, the maturation of the IoT – a world in which connected devices are constantly exchanging data – marks a good time for the company to bring something new to the market. He believes that hardware innovation in the smartphone market has stalled in the past decade and TCL can bring “more than another Chinese smartphone” through the introduction of entirely new form factors and features. He acknowledges that this will not happen overnight; rather, it is part of a “very long-term strategy” for the company.

The first step in this strategy is the launch of the Plex smartphone, which boasts a large, high-performance LCD display and retails for €329. Jason Gerdon, TCL’s head of global communications and strategy, says that this budget-friendly price point was made possible thanks to years of affordable manufacturing experience, vertical integration in the TCL consumer group and selectivity in deciding which features to optimise. TCL chose to focus on catering to the increasing consumption and generation of media on smartphones, beefing up the display (powered by its own dedicated chipset) and camera set.

“The smartphone market is really, really saturated and if you try to build a one-size-fits-all phone, the reality is that’s not really practical anymore,” said Gerdon. “I liken a smartphone now to a car: everyone has their own tastes, everyone has different budgets, everyone has different needs, so for us it's about looking at how we can take what we’re experts in and finding that bit of the market that we can address.”

TCL acknowledges that it does not have a sufficiently strong reputation at this point to shift top-range smartphones: “Prices at the thousand-dollar range are brand-related and not our territory”. The first iteration of the Plex – already available in some markets – will not be launched in the UK, with TCL claiming to be unconcerned about selling a large number of handsets. The Plex instead marks the starting point for a portfolio of devices to be rolled out over the coming years. “It’s very important for us that this is a long-term strategy and this is bigger than just a smartphone; this is an entire TCL ecosystem coming to the market,” Streit added.

At next year’s major consumer tech events, TCL are expected to reveal a design for their foldable smartphone, having previously revealed a prototype at IFA (slightly chunky, wide-rimmed and proportioned like a miniature laptop or old-school Nintendo DS). Gerdon believes that despite seeing a “flash in the pan” surrounding foldable electronics in early 2019, the area remains a ‘Wild West’ with almost any form factor being possible. He commented how ensuring that the software running on these devices responds in a meaningful way to folding and bending is just as important as nailing the novel hardware; for example, how should Android respond when you wrap a flexible screen around your wrist?

“If you don’t have a good [software] solution there it doesn’t matter how good the hardware experience is, the user will be disappointed because they feel like this isn’t smart any more. This is a thing where we feel like it takes time and we accept the challenge,” Streit said. TCL confirmed that it is has been working with other parties to experiment with software to suit more unusual foldable electronics, with the possibility of future flexible displays worn on the wrist and multi-hinge devices. The company hopes that these devices could be sold for “much less” than the $2,000+ price point emerging as standard for a foldable phone.

In addition to foldable devices, TCL is in the relatively advanced stages of developing a ‘wearable display’ which conjures up the appearance of a large, bright cinema-style screen held before the eyes without blocking out peripheral vision, allowing for a private yet not totally isolated viewing experience. Streit confirmed that the device had generated interest from the porn industry, inevitably, in addition to other potential business partners in such sectors as fashion and design. Under TCL’s “cautious” approach to rolling out this portfolio of devices and building a reputation as a reliable brand, however, it could be years until this type of display is available to consumers.

“We couldn’t care less about the marketing message of saying ‘We’re first!’. If you’re first to market but the product fails, then what have you achieved?” Gerdon said, diplomatically neglecting to name any competitors perhaps guilty of this.

There are lots of buzzes these days about what pot can do and what it can't. In many states worldwide, marijuana has two distinct forms – medical and recreational. 

In this write-up, we are going to focus on what is necessary for medical marijuana. Hang in here for fun facts that you can't get anywhere else.

Medical marijuana without psychotropic properties

You can undoubtedly nod that you have come across the term Cannabidiol (CBD). This compound, under most circumstances, lacks little to no mind-bending effects. 

The cannabis plant has two distinct species – hemp and marijuana. The hemp plant gives high CBD yields. That typically means when one takes any derivative from the hemp plant, they most undoubtedly won't get sedated.

On the contrary, marijuana plants give high levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol, the compound known for getting the users high.

When we are talking about medical marijuana without psychotropic properties in this context, we mean that the medication is rich in CBD and trace amounts of THC. 

That said, when one wants to get the medical benefits from these plants, they ought to buy CBD-dominant seeds.

The Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds company is a fantastic bank for getting a plethora of these. The strains from CBD-dominant seeds give rise to low THC levels. The percentages can rarely surpass 0.3%, which is why the patient can't get sedated after taking ganja from such plants.

Where does medical marijuana come from?

The process of coming up with medical marijuana starts with the planting of medical marijuana seeds. These seeds give medical marijuana seeds. You can get most of these from the Amsterdam Seed Company. 

When these plants get extracted, cannabinoids like THC and CBD get extracted. After that, the final product is referred to as medical marijuana. 

It has a myriad of uses which prompts us to see some.

Uses of Medical Marijuana

It is unarguable that more research needs to get done to establish what medical marijuana can do to the human body. 

The National Institute of Health reports that the usage of medical marijuana started more than 30 centuries ago. 

The patients who have over the recent past used CBD-rich medical marijuana attribute it to offer certain benefits as denoted below.

1. Alleviation of Chronic Pain

A review from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine conducted in 2018 shows that medical marijuana is indeed a practical solution when it comes to the alleviation of different forms of chronic pain. 

Medical marijuana interacts closely with the CB1 receptors in the human brain to relay signals meant to suppress any instances of pain. 

2. Reducing addiction 

This may come out as a surprise, but it shouldn't. Some people suffering from the overdependence on alcohol and opiates may get a timely solution from the usage of medical marijuana. 

3. Medical marijuana for mental disorders 

Anxiety, stress, and depression are known for being tough. That is so true, especially when it comes to the usage of pharmaceutical drugs, but the symptoms won't disappear. 

Medical marijuana assists in combatting these pain points. Its bond with the cannabinoid receptors strikes a balance between serotonin levels and the severity of the problems. 

1. Treatment for epilepsy 

The Food and Drug Administration legalized the usage of Epidiolex as a measure to treat two different types of rare epilepsy. 

The drugs harbor CBD, making it an effective solution for treating Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet Syndromes. 

The presence of Cannabidiol in then drug means that the user won't get high. Under most circumstances, the aforementioned epileptic conditions disturb children. 

CBD in Epidiolex reportedly lowers seizures, rendering it as an effective solution. 

How to take medical marijuana 

Taking medical marijuana doesn't have to get complicated. The first step is getting in touch with a healthcare professional. 

Some doctors may be reluctant to allow you to use medical marijuana if your pain point doesn't qualify for its usage. 

Depending on your taste, you can opt to:

• Vaporize

• Smoke

• Take as an edible

• Apply topically on the skin

• Immerse it beneath the tongue. 

The method you use to take medical marijuana determines if it reaches the body faster or slowly. For example, smoking or vaporizing it gives rapid results. Using it in the form of oil may take relatively longer since oil takes quite some time to get digested. 

Many healthcare professionals do not recommend smoking medical cannabis. Most of them lay their basis of argument on the presence of carcinogens on smoked marijuana seen to be entering the lungs.

Secondly, it is relatively hard in knowing the contents in a puff of medical grass. The patient can end up smoking over-potent weed. 

Safety concerns

However much there is quite a high number of conducted researches surrounding the usage of medical marijuana; there are some safety concerns worth raising one's curiosity. 

Heart risks

If one has a healthy heart, medical marijuana consumption can seldom exhibit any heart-related issues. In fact, it helps in enhancing the functionality of a healthy heart and reducing hypertension levels. 

A peril can, however, occur when one already has a heart problem and starts taking medical marijuana. A study published in Forensic Science International shows that there were instances of death arising from marijuana-intoxication.

The conclusion was that those with healthy hearts could use medical marijuana. However, those without got advised to shun away from the product since it can cause several temporary mishaps on the cardiovascular system. 

Driving safety concerns 

Medical marijuana is a drug. Any drug, when taken, it alters how the body functions. One can't compare medic al marijuana with alcohol.

However, as one drives, they may get some mind-boggling effects when they overdose the product. That said, it is far much better to drive when sober as opposed to when one is under the influence of a drug. 

Bottom Line

Medical marijuana is a primal compound for most users. However, the effects kick in awesomely depending on the strains from which it comes from.
