Shatter Pegasus

Shatter Pegasus is shatter, a translucent extract with a glass-like look that breaks with a snap when cold. The name refers to the Pegasus strain, which AllBud calls a rare indica-dominant hybrid.

How shatter is used, and how it differs from wax

Dabbing it, or crumbling it over flower, is the usual way to use shatter. Wax is the soft, opaque alternative that scoops, and crumble is dry and breaks apart. Our shatter vs wax guide sets texture, stability and use side by side, and our shatter explainer starts with what it is and how it is made.

The Pegasus strain the name refers to

AllBud writes the cross as Grateful Breath x [Purple Elephant x (Grape Stomper x Aloha White Widow)] and gives the type as 70% indica to 30% sativa. Its THC figure for the strain is 22% to 23%, and its rating is 4.6 from 20 votes.

What AllBud says about the strain’s smell and taste

The strain’s flavour, per AllBud, is a sweet anise-candy taste that finishes on a lightly spicy, fruity exhale. Its aroma is dank anise and rich herbs with a mildly spicy overtone that strengthens as the buds burn. The flavour tags are candy, fruity, herbal and sweet, and the aroma tags are dank, earthy, fruity, pungent, spicy and sweet.

On the flower side, AllBud pictures dense, popcorn-shaped nugs in olive green with purple undertones, bright orange hairs and a frosting of amber trichomes.

The high AllBud describes, and pacing an extract

AllBud says the strain’s high opens with a gentle head lift that brings euphoria, then a light tingle and deep body relaxation. Its effect tags are happy, hungry, relaxing and uplifting.

Health Canada places shatter, hash, kief and wax among extracts it describes as high in THC, and for anyone new to cannabis, or who uses it just occasionally, it suggests giving them a miss.
