Breaking Dab Shatter - Wizard Punch

Breaking Dab’s Wizard Punch is a glassy shatter carrying the name of a Purple Punch cross, by both Leafly’s and AllBud’s accounts. AllBud’s figure for the strain is 29% to 32% THC, a strength it says suits experienced consumers best.

Purple Punch above it, Purple Wizard below

Leafly lists Purple Punch as one parent of Wizard Punch, files the strain as a hybrid, and names Purple Wizard as a strain bred from it. AllBud gives the same parentage and calls the cross slightly indica-dominant, splitting it 60% indica to 40% sativa.

Grape-shaped, purple-tinged and frosty

AllBud pictures Wizard Punch flower as fat, dense and grape-shaped, dusty green with deep purple undertones, fuzzy orange hairs and a frosty coat of mint-green trichomes. A Leafly reviewer writing in February 2024 saw frosty, bright green buds with tinges of orange, and an AllBud reviewer in October 2021 called the bud very resinous.

Creamy berry with a peppery grape exhale

AllBud tastes sweet, creamy, fruity berry in Wizard Punch, finishing on a lightly peppery grape exhale, and smells sweet berries over a strong spicy, earthy grape note that hangs around. Vanilla, diesel and berry lead Leafly’s flavour tags for Wizard Punch. One Leafly reviewer found the smell strong and the taste light, while an AllBud reviewer simply tasted grapes.

A headband feel, then the body, by AllBud’s account

AllBud says the Wizard Punch high starts almost as soon as you exhale, with a heady, headband-like feel around the forehead and eyes, then giddy euphoria that leaves people giggly and chatty and a relaxing body high from head to toe. Leafly’s reviewers name energetic, euphoric and talkative, and its calming-to-energizing gauge reads mostly energizing. The strain averages 4.5 from 17 Leafly ratings and 4.4 from 32 AllBud votes and 6 reviews.

Brittle, dabbable and high in THC

Like other shatter, this one is hard and see-through and goes brittle in the cold; it is usually dabbed, though pieces can go on top of flower instead. How shatter like this is made, how strong it runs and how it gets used are all covered in our shatter explainer. Wizard Punch shatter belongs on Health Canada‘s short list of extracts heavy in THC, the kind it advises new and occasional consumers to avoid. A Wizard Punch dab, like any cannabis, should come at least 6 hours before driving under its lower-risk guidelines.
