🌿 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

1. Harvest: Cannabis plants are harvested at peak freshness.

2. Freezing: They’re immediately frozen (often with liquid nitrogen or in a commercial freezer).

3. Extraction: Solvents like butane or propane are used in a closed-loop system to extract cannabinoids and terpenes.

4. 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.
