Hawaiian Gold Sugar Wax

Available at Blüm in Oakland.

The world’s best extract packaging delivers on product quality as well. Hawaiian Gold Sugar Wax from Oakland collective Blüm really resets the bar for extracts in 2014. It starts with a 100 percent sativa mix of Super Lemon Haze and Guava from Jahnetics. Then the extractors at IVXX use a solvent to triple the plant’s potency to a lab-tested 75 percent THC. The branding resembles an edgy jewelry company, and the cardboard sleeve pulls off to reveal a black silicone cube with a custom embossed logo. All would be for naught, if the extract didn’t give off a perfume of Lemon Haze and Guava terpenes. It does. The fine, ultra-potent vapor tasted like a vacation in Fiji, especially at low temperature. Patients seek out such pure sativa extracts for their strong, uplifting effects, which folks use to manage anxiety and pain.
