🌿 What is Live Resin?
Live resin is a type of cannabis concentrate known for its strong aroma, flavor, and potency. What makes it unique is how it’s made: instead of drying and curing the cannabis plant after harvest (which can degrade some of the terpenes and cannabinoids), live resin is made from fresh, flash-frozen plants. This helps preserve the full spectrum of compounds—especially terpenes—that give cannabis its taste, smell, and effects.
🔬 How It’s Made
-
Harvest: Cannabis plants are harvested at peak freshness.
-
Freezing: They’re immediately frozen (often with liquid nitrogen or in a commercial freezer).
-
Extraction: Solvents like butane or propane are used in a closed-loop system to extract cannabinoids and terpenes.
-
Purging: The solvent is removed, usually under vacuum and low heat.
This process keeps more flavor, aroma, and overall plant integrity compared to traditional dried-plant extracts.
💨 How to Consume Live Resin
There are a few ways to enjoy it, depending on your setup and preference:
1. Dabbing (Most Common)
-
Requires: A dab rig, torch (or e-rig), and dab tool.
-
How: Heat the nail or banger, let it cool slightly, then drop a small amount of live resin onto it and inhale the vapor.
-
Why: Gives you the best flavor and potency experience.
2. Vape Pens
-
Some live resin is available in pre-filled cartridges or disposables.
-
Or, you can use a dab pen that allows you to load concentrates yourself.
3. Topping Flower
-
You can sprinkle a bit on a bowl or joint to boost potency and flavor.
-
🔥 Just be cautious—it’s very strong.
🧠Effects & Experience
Because of its high terpene and cannabinoid content, live resin usually:
-
Hits faster and harder than flower.
-
Offers a more complex and flavorful experience.
-
Can have more nuanced effects, depending on the strain used.
