CBD Wax

CBD wax is a hemp-derived concentrate with a soft, opaque, butter-like texture — typically 70–90% total cannabinoids by weight. Steve's Goods CBD wax is made from industrial hemp grown under the 2018 Farm Bill, extracted in Louisville, Kentucky, and packaged in 0.5 g and 1 g containers. Every batch is third-party lab tested.

CBD wax is for experienced concentrate users. One dab delivers a much higher concentration of CBD than an oil or gummy and it activates almost instantly. If you have never used a concentrate before, start with our CBD oils or gummies first.

What Is CBD Wax?

CBD wax is the soft-texture family of CBD concentrates. It's produced by extracting cannabinoids from hemp, purifying out fats and waxes, and then agitating the extract while it cools so it solidifies into an opaque, putty-like consistency. Wax sits between the harder "shatter" texture and the softer "budder" or "crumble" textures in the concentrate family — same starting material, different post-processing.

How CBD Wax Is Made

Steve's Goods uses hydrocarbon and CO₂ extraction paired with a purge process that removes residual solvents below detectable limits. Our lab reports confirm solvent residue, pesticide, heavy-metal, and microbial counts for every batch before it ships. The final product is a full-spectrum or isolate wax depending on the SKU — full-spectrum retains native terpenes and trace cannabinoids (CBG, CBC, CBN) alongside CBD, while isolate wax is CBD only.

Terpene & Flavor Profiles

• Blueberry OG — earthy berry profile, native terpenes preserved
• Girl Scout Cookies — sweet-earthy profile
• Pineapple Express — tropical, citrus-forward
• Strawnana — strawberry-banana, sweet
• Watermelon OG — fruit-forward, lightly sweet

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give hemp and cannabis their smell. They do not change the legal status of the product but they do shape the flavor and the subjective experience.

How to Dose CBD Wax

A standard "dab" size is a grain of rice — roughly 0.02–0.03 g. If your wax is 80% CBD, a rice-grain dab delivers approximately 15–25 mg of CBD. Start with a half-grain your first time, wait 15 minutes, then adjust. Wax activates in under 5 minutes and the peak effect lasts 1–3 hours.

• First-time dab: half-grain size (~10 mg CBD)
• Typical session: full rice-grain (~15–25 mg CBD)
• Experienced daily user: 25–50 mg CBD per session

How to Use CBD Wax

Wax is designed for a dab rig, e-nail, or portable concentrate vape. Use a titanium or quartz dab tool to portion. Heat the nail to 545–575°F (low-temp dabbing preserves terpenes and is smoother on the throat than high-temp). Cover with a carb cap for even vaporization. Exhale slowly.

We do not recommend dabbing off a standard lighter or hot knife — the temperature is uncontrolled and the flavor suffers.

Storage

Store CBD wax in a cool, dark place. Heat and light degrade cannabinoids over time. The included silicone or glass container is designed for long-term storage. Kept sealed and below 70°F, potency is stable for at least 12 months.

Legality

Steve's Goods CBD wax is hemp-derived and contains under 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, consistent with the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws on hemp concentrates vary — some states restrict concentrate form factors specifically. Check your state's current rules before ordering.

H.R. 5371 takes effect November 12, 2026 and changes the federal hemp cannabinoid framework. We are reviewing our concentrate line against the new rules and will publish updates before the enforcement date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CBD wax?

CBD wax is a hemp-derived concentrate with a soft, opaque, butter-like texture, typically 70–90% total cannabinoids by weight. It's made by extracting cannabinoids from hemp, purging solvents, and agitating the extract while it cools.

How strong is CBD wax?

Steve's Goods CBD wax runs 70–90% total cannabinoids depending on the batch. A rice-grain dab from an 80% wax delivers roughly 15–25 mg of CBD. Every batch ships with a third-party lab report confirming exact potency.

What's the difference between CBD wax and CBD shatter?

Same starting extract, different post-processing. Wax is agitated while cooling so it solidifies into an opaque, soft texture. Shatter is cooled without agitation so it forms a translucent, glass-like sheet. Both deliver similar dose per gram.

Is CBD wax legal?

Hemp-derived wax with under 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws vary — some states regulate concentrates separately. Check your state's current rules before ordering.

How do I use CBD wax?

Use a dab rig, e-nail, or portable concentrate vape. Heat the nail to 545–575°F, apply a rice-grain portion with a titanium or quartz dab tool, cover with a carb cap, and inhale slowly. Onset is under 5 minutes.

Will CBD wax show up on a drug test?

Our full-spectrum wax contains trace delta-9 THC under 0.3%. Regular or high-dose use can, in rare cases, trigger a positive workplace test. Our isolate wax contains no detectable THC. Choose isolate if you are subject to drug testing.

How should I store CBD wax?

Store in a cool, dark place below 70°F in the included silicone or glass container. Kept sealed and away from heat and light, potency is stable for at least 12 months.
