Live! From a Cannabis Dispensary Near You: Live Rosin vs Resin 

Cannabis extraction is a unique set of processes that combine temperature, pressure, and sometimes solvents to.Cannabis concentrates have gained significant popularity in recent years, offering users a more potent and flavorful experience. 

Two popular types of cannabis concentrates are Cannabis Live Rosin and Cannabis Resin. Let’s explore the characteristics, extraction methods, drying and curing processes, and the unique qualities of fresh frozen cannabis extracts.

Define Live Rosin

Cannabis Live Rosin is a highly sought-after cannabis concentrate known for its exceptional quality and potency. It is produced by using a solventless extraction method, making it a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts who prefer a more natural and pure product. Live Rosin is typically made from fresh-frozen cannabis flowers, preserving the plant's terpene profile and resulting in a flavorful and aromatic concentrate. 

Define Resin

Cannabis Resin, on the other hand, refers to a broader category of cannabis concentrates that includes various extraction methods. Resin can be produced through solvent-based extraction processes, such as butane or ethanol extraction. These methods involve using solvents to strip the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material, resulting in a more concentrated product. Cannabis Resin can come in different forms, including shatter, wax, and budder, depending on the extraction technique and post-processing methods used. 

Define “Live”

Fresh frozen cannabis extracts are made from cannabis flowers that are immediately frozen after harvest, preserving their terpene content and overall freshness. The term “live” is often used to describe products created from the “fresh frozen” process. This technique is commonly used in the production of Live Rosin. By freezing the plant material, the trichomes, which contain the cannabinoids and terpenes, remain intact and can be extracted without losing their potency or aroma.

Solvent vs Solventless extraction 

The primary distinction between Cannabis Live Rosin and Cannabis Resin lies in their extraction methods. Solvent-based extraction processes, as mentioned earlier, utilize solvents like butane or ethanol to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. These solvents are subsequently purged or evaporated, leaving behind a concentrated resin.

On the other hand, solventless extraction methods, such as those used in Cannabis Live Rosin production, do not involve the use of any solvents. Instead, they rely on mechanical methods like heat and pressure to extract the desired compounds from the plant material. This solventless approach is favored by those who prefer a more natural and chemical-free product.
