Is wax legal in the US?

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive compound responsible for the effects associated with marijuana use. Hash, wax, and shatter tend to have higher THC levels than raw marijuana, making them more potent.

As a result of their increased potency, the legal system views possession of hash, wax, and shatter more harshly. This stricter approach reflects the government's concern about the potential harm caused by these more concentrated forms of marijuana.

If police have reason to believe that an individual is in possession of hash, wax, or shatter, they can take legal action. This includes the arrest and charging of the individual with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance.

The legal treatment of hash, wax, and shatter differs significantly from that of raw marijuana. This disparity stems from the varying THC concentrations found in these substances.

Schedule I controlled substances are those deemed to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Marijuana, including its more concentrated forms, falls into this category.
