While Drug Enforcement Administration agents in California are cracking down on the popular new drug known as “wax,” people in Colorado are rushing to embrace it.

Wax, the ultimate distillation of marijuana, is so potent that it is said a single hit will keep a person high for more than a day.

“There is no weed out there that possesses the punching power that the wax does,” an undercover DEA informant who asked to remain anonymous told ABC News’ “Nightline.” “And it’s like smoking 20 joints of the best grade of weed that you have into one hit of the wax.”

>> Hill moved his whole family from Texas to Colorado to try to get into the wax business.

Good riddance. Stay up there, loser.

Texas still has dry counties, where alcohol can't be purchased. I don't see Texas legalizing pot any time soon.

Wax is made by extracting cannabis plant matter with liquid butane. You better know what you are doing playing with butane!

Sadly here in taxifornia any time the liberals and demonrats see another tax opportunity they jump at it, so I bet they want to follow Colorado soon. They have never seen a tax they didn’t like and don’t give a damn about the people.

It’s called “Coma Oil” for a reason.

Some people actually feel paralyzed by it and others mistakenly take their usual assortment of “scripts” with it, only to “blow it” all out, right along with anything they ingested....

It’s all fun til you can’t move or end up on the floor...

The butane is separated by water and ice.

There is no real detectable amount in the finished product...

"And it’s like smoking 20 joints of the best grade of weed that you have into one hit of the wax.”

The man is an obvious liar.

The best grade weed today is already 20% cannabanoids by dry weight.

We could at least expect these guys to tell the truth, right?

Hash oil has been around for nearly 40years. "Wax" has little difference.

ooooh. Scary.

I think that DEA agent gets paid more if it seems like a scarier drug. I smoked it a year or so ago. I preferred great plant over that mess. Its not heroin, its grass concentrate. It was disgusting and nowhere near as good as great hash.

There’s a special on Nightline about the stuff where they are ooing and awwing all over it with people entering into a contest to see who can make the best product”. If you think the stuff is harmless take a look at the people making and smoking it. Speaks for itself...

You too.

Just stop.

It’s not good for you or your loved ones.

Your reaction to my comment confirmed you know what I’m saying is true.
