There are two main types of cannabis concentrates: live concentrates and live resin. While both concentrates are known for their smooth taste and potency, live resin stands out for its superior quality, especially when it comes to products like live-resin gummies.

What sets live resin apart is the way it preserves the natural flavors and aromas of the cannabis plant. To understand this, let’s look at the process of drying and curing cannabis. When cannabis is dried and cured, it loses moisture, but it also loses some important compounds called terpenes. These terpenes, often referred to as ‘juices,’ give cannabis its unique flavors, which can range from sweet and citrusy to earthy and skunky. In fact, if cannabis is left to dry at room temperature for over a week, it can lose up to 31% of its terpenes.

Connoisseurs of concentrates appreciate the delightful taste and aroma that well-made concentrates offer. To truly savor the rich terpene profile, enthusiasts turn to live resin. This special concentrate boasts an enhanced terpene content, which in turn enhances the effects of THC and CBD.

The secret to live resin’s exceptional quality lies in the way it’s made. Cannabis flowers and sugar cane leaves are immediately flash-frozen after harvest, and the extraction process maintains below-freezing temperatures. This unique approach results in a flavor and aroma that regular concentrates simply can’t match. It’s no wonder that live resin has earned the nickname “champagne” of concentrates.

Now, let’s talk about how you can enjoy live resin:

Dabbing

Dabbing live resin is often described as an intimate encounter with the essence of the cannabis plant. You’ll need a dab rig for this method. Heat the nail with a torch lighter, then use a dab tool to place a small amount of live resin on it. The resin will vaporize, and you can inhale the vapor. It’s crucial to maintain the right temperature for a satisfying experience.

Vaping

Vaping with a vape pen is a more straightforward option. Simply place the live resin in the pen’s bowl, and the coil will heat and vaporize the concentrate, delivering a similar experience to dabbing.

Cartridges

Live resin cartridges are also available. These disposable, pre-filled cartridges can be attached to a lithium battery and smoked directly, offering convenience and ease of use.

Smoking

If you prefer traditional smoking methods, you can enjoy live resin by adding it to a bowl of fresh cannabis flowers or even by wrapping it around blunts or joints.

Edibles

Live resin edibles are a newer addition to the market, offering another way to experience the unique flavors and effects of live resin.
