When it comes to high quality cannabis oil, you really canโt go wrong with live rosin. Itโs absolutely packed with cannabinoids and terpenes, thanks to high quality cannabis flower and a solventlessย extraction process.ย It is for this reason thatย cannabis concentrate and hash enthusiasts prefer live rosin.
What is live rosin?
Live rosin is a type of cannabis concentrate that people champion for its solventless purity and terpene-packed flavor. It is made from ice water hash (also called full melt bubble hash) that is then pressed out through heat and pressure. The result is a cannabis hash oil with a slightly thick, waxy texture, and flavorful consumption experience that will satisfy the palate of anyone who vapes cannabis.
How is live rosin made?
The process of making live rosin starts with fresh frozen material. That means as soon as the cannabis plants are harvested, they are immediately frozen to lock in the highest trichome density possible. Those little milky crystals on cannabis flowers are packed full of all the cannabinoids and terpenes that produce the effects we feel from vaping. The goal of the fresh frozen process is to preserve the highest concentration of those trichomes, so the oil made from it will be highly potent and super tasty.
As our Head of Formulation of Dutch Cannabis Extracts puts it “We take fresh frozen material, make hash first, isolate that hash into specific micron sizes, and that is pressed at a really low temperature to preserve the terpenoids. We post-process that to make it a viscous oil. We bring those (minor cannabinoids and terpenoids) together for a unique experience.”
Why is live rosin considered the “true to plant”?
One of the best things a cannabis product can be is pure, as it means you are getting an experience that best represent the live plant experience. Purity matters because you donโt want any chemicals or impurities interfering with effects, flavors, or aromas.
By bypassing chemical solvents like ethanol and carbon dioxide, you don’t have to then remove them later on in the process. Instead, you’re experiencing the cannabis flower and it’s trichomes in it’s original, fresh state.
Top Ways to Smoke Live Rosin
Live rosin is a full melt concentrate, so you can smoke or vape it in several different ways. It just depends on your preference. Do you want to taste it solo, or would you rather mix it with fresh herb or other oils? Thereโs no wrong way to enjoy live rosin, so try them all!
Use a Dab Rig
Dabbing is the act of vaporizing a concentrate or extract in a type of water bong. It looks very similar to a class bong, but instead of a stem that comes out at a sideways angle, itโs got a nail that sits straight up. The nail is usually made of glass, quartz, titanium, or ceramic. You need a handheld torch to heat the nail to the appropriate temperature.
Once itโs hot enough (but not too hot), use a dab tool to scoop up a bit of live rosin and put it inside or on top of the heated nail. Swirl the tool around while you inhale through the mouthpiece. Donโt rip this as hard as you can! The smoothest dabs come from slow and steady draws. Dabbing live rosin is a popular method that gives you unadulterated flavor and aroma.
Add It to a Dab Pen
A dab pen is an easier, more convenient way to dab. You can still vaporize your live rosin, but itโs just a cleaner system. Dab rigs are great but require nails, torches, and tools. To use a dab pen, just add a bit of live rosin into the chamber and select the right temperature, and hit it. It works just like a vape pen, but you fill it yourself. Then, once you vape all the oil, add more.
Top a Bowl or Roll a Joint
Because live rosin is a full melt concentrate, you can smoke it with your weed. Top a bowl and get an extra dose of terpenes and THC, or roll it up in a joint. If you are confident with your rolling skills, roll out a small portion of live rosin and wrap it around the outside of your joint (inside the joint works also fantastic). Sprinkle with a pinch of kief for a super-infused doobie. Get creative when experimenting with how to smoke live rosin. The skyโs the limit.
