Cannabis Sugar Vs. Crumble: What’s The Difference?

It might sound like we’re ready to whip up a dessert. You’ll have to look for snacks elsewhere because we’re discussing a kind of sugar that’s not as sweet as it sounds.

You might have heard of cannabis sugar or cannabis crumble. These two substances are both concentrates from the cannabis plant but present different physical features and uses. Interested in learning more about the differences between these two potent cannabis concentrates?

You’ve come to the right place.

You can spot the differences between crumble and sugar right off the bat. For starters, a crumble is exactly what it sounds like, a thick, crumbly texture that’s dryer than most concentrates. It’s not as thick and runny as your usual budder or resin.

Without touching it, it almost resembles a sea sponge or gold sea moss. Their colors span from light yellow all the way to dark orange with amber hues. In order to make cannabis crumble, extractors use a solvent like butane or CO2. However, crumble is made in a vacuum oven at lower temperatures but for longer periods than most concentrates. This way, it reduces excess moisture while minimizing the risk of mold.

The only downside with cannabis crumble is its texture making it difficult to use in a dab rig. That said, it’s an incredibly easy substance to add to your joints, top your bowls, or place inside a concentrate vaporizer.

Now that we know what cannabis crumble is, you can probably guess the texture of cannabis sugar. The closest thing we could compare it to is honey in its rawest form, with crystals and everything. It’s a thick, dense, and mostly dark liquid that has a sugary consistency.

Similar to most other concentrates, sugar is also extracted by using a solvent like CO2, butane, or propane. Stoners adore using cannabis sugars because of how easy they are to handle. They’re often smoked through dab rigs, e-rigs, over joints and bowls, and quite literally any smoking or vaping method.

When it comes to sugar wax vs crumble, the main difference is their physical characteristics.

Weed crumble concentrate and weed sugar differ mainly in texture and moisture content. Crumble has a dry, brittle consistency, making it easy to handle and great for dabbing or adding to joints. It’s made by purging solvents at low temperatures for a longer time.

Weed sugar, on the other hand, has a sticky, grainy texture, similar to wet sugar. It retains more moisture and terpenes, resulting in a more flavorful and aromatic experience, ideal for those who prioritize taste when dabbing.
