Sugaring occurs when cannabis concentrates have not been waxed and therefore degrade in consistency over time. Even a clear, translucent shatter will “sugar” when exposed to light or heat. This exposure causes nucleation of cannabinoids which purges some terpenes, waxes, and lipids. These concentrates once smooth and clear, become crystal and granulated, and cloudy in appearance.
