Sugaring

Definition: A shift in the consistency of cannabis concentrates that have not been dewaxed. Typically, a clear concentrate will sugar up if left out in areas with high exposure to light or heat. Sugared cannabis concentrates can take on a granulated, cloudy form. Exposure to heat, light and air can cause spontaneous nucleation of cannabinoids, subsequently purging some terpenes, lipids and waxes. An undesirable but innocuous transformation, possibly losing some flavor, but retaining overall potency.
