What is live resin?

Live resin is a type of cannabis concentrate known for its robust flavor and aroma. It’s made using freshly harvested cannabis plants that are frozen immediately after harvest, rather than drying and curing them first. This process helps to preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, which can be lost during traditional drying and curing.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how live resin is typically produced:

• Harvesting and Freezing: The cannabis plants are harvested and quickly frozen to maintain the integrity of their chemical profile.
• Extraction: The frozen cannabis is then subjected to an extraction process, usually using solvents like butane or propane, to isolate the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material.
• Post-Processing: After extraction, the concentrate is often purged of solvents and sometimes further refined to achieve the desired consistency and potency.

The result is a concentrate that’s often more flavorful and aromatic compared to other types of concentrates, such as shatter or wax, due to the preserved terpenes. Live resin can be enjoyed in various ways, including dabbing or as a component in our disposable vapes.
