Fact Checked by Doctor NameCrumble is a popular form of cannabis extract with a dry, crumbly texture that easily breaks apart like cookie crumbles.
It contains highly concentrated THC along with other cannabinoids like CBD and beneficial terpenes.
Crumble provides a potent, purified cannabis experience.
What is Crumble?
Crumble belongs to a category of marijuana concentrates known as “budders”. It has a fudgy yet dry and brittle consistency that clumps apart into small pieces when handled. The crumbly texture gives the extract its name.
It is composed of cannabinoid-rich trichome resin from the plant that has been extracted and processed into a solid form.
Trichome glands are sifted through filters or sieves, and heat and pressure are applied to remove plant material and moisture. This leaves behind a crumbly, purified extract.
Crumble ranges in color but often has a translucent golden hue. It shatters easily when dabbed, vaped, or smoked in a pipe.
The THC content can reach up to 90% compared to around 20% in unprocessed flowers. Terpene levels vary based on strain and extraction process.
Crumble is solid at room temperature but softens when heated. It melts and vaporizes cleanly when dabbed.
The texture makes it easy to handle and dose precisely. Crumble’s stability also allows it to better retain terpenes versus runny oils.
Crumble became popular largely due to its ease of use combined with affordability compared to other extracts.
However, other budder forms like badder, sugar wax, and live resin have gained ground for their softer, taffy-like consistency. Some prefer it over the hardened crumble.
