Wax

A loose term for soft, opaque concentrates, covering a range from dry and crumbly ("crumble" or "honeycomb") to smooth and creamy (budder and badder). The opaque look comes from tiny cannabinoid crystals that formed when the extract was stirred or handled during finishing.

Wax is usually a solvent extract. On some menus, the word is also used generically for any concentrate meant to be dabbed. Because the term is broad, it says little about how the product was made. Check the product listing, associated lab report, or contact the MMTC directly to determine the extraction method/solvents used.

Cured Resin

A cannabis concentrate extracted with a hydrocarbon solvent (butane or propane) from dried and cured cannabis rather than fresh-frozen cannabis. The solvent is then purged, and the lab report tests for any residual solvents.

Hybrid

A plant bred from both indica-type and sativa-type parents. Menus use "Hybrid" for effects described as in between or mixed. The label is often narrowed to indica-dominant hybrid, sativa-dominant hybrid, or balanced ("50/50"). Any percentages given are the breeder's estimate from the plant's family tree, not a measured one.

After decades of crossbreeding, nearly all modern commercial strains are hybrids in the genetic sense, regardless of the label they carry. The label says more about how a product is positioned than about the plant. A listed lineage (the cross) is more specific, but a strain name doesn't guarantee chemistry either.
