Heisenberg Wax Hindu Kush

Wax is a soft, opaque concentrate with a waxy texture that scoops easily, and Heisenberg makes this one under the Hindu Kush name. AllBud traces Hindu Kush to the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Waxy and scoopable, unlike crumble

Crumble is wax’s soft, opaque relative, but where wax stays waxy and scoopable, crumble is dry enough to break apart. Our weed wax guide sorts wax into its types and covers use and storage, and our shatter vs wax comparison explains how the two differ in texture and stability.

A short, bushy plant that likes heat

Leafly’s grow notes say Hindu Kush suits indoor growing or warmer outdoor climates below 42 degrees north latitude. One Leafly home-grower describes a short, branchy, bushy plant that was easy to maintain, liked heat and turned very sticky after a long curing time. Our Hindu Kush guide labels it a pure landrace indica, and Leafly gives the mountain range it is named for as its place of origin.

A slow, gradual high, as AllBud tells it

AllBud says the high arrives subtly and gradually, spreading over mind and body before it fully takes hold, with a euphoric, hazy feeling in the head and a long-lasting effect. AllBud’s effect tags read euphoria, happy and relaxing, and Leafly reviewers most often report feeling relaxed. Ratings stand at 4.4 from 1,279 on Leafly and 4.8 from 80 votes and 46 reviews on AllBud. As for strength, Leafly’s strain page lists THC around 19%, and AllBud’s figure runs from 22 to 32%.

What Health Canada says about wax and driving

Wax is named, along with kief, hash and shatter, when Health Canada warns that extracts carry high THC, and first-time or occasional users are told to leave wax and its fellow extracts alone. Wax gets no exemption from the driving advice either: the agency’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines spell out a wait of at least 6 hours off the road after any cannabis.
