How (and why!) to consume live rosin?
The buzz around live rosin started a while ago and seems to continue. What’s curious is that it’s popular among very different groups. Hemp fans naturally value it for the purest and freshest cannabis experience ever. That’s clear. Then, emotional wellness enthusiasts love it as a natural stress reliever. Plus, some are interested in its medical benefits. All in all, it leads us to the idea that the popularity of live rosin may be, first and foremost, explained by the variety of its uses.
Benefits of Live Rosin
No matter the way you’re using it, the benefits of live rosin are more or less the same:
- More Pronounced Taste
This concentrate contains lots of terpenes. These, in turn, are responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis. And because live rosin is made from fresh, flash-frozen plants it has a generally more vibrant and authentic taste (as opposed to other concentrates).
- Potent
For some, potency is a priority and live rosin is an absolute winner here (okay, one of the winners). It’s highly concentrated and has a strong effect.
- Natural
The extraction process for live rosin doesn’t involve solvents. When they create it, they use just heat and pressure. No chemicals at all.
4 Ways to Consume Live Rosin
#1 Add It to Flower
One way to enjoy live rosin is to add it to your thca flower. Smoking will thus be more potent and flavorful.
The heat will vaporize the rosin and so the latter will release its flavors and strong effects. You don’t need extra equipment.
#2 Edibles
Edibles such as indica gummies are the fastest way to consume this potent concentrate. When making edibles, they decarboxylate live rosin, which activates its cannabinoids. This makes them effective when ingested. To decarboxylate, they heat live rosin at high temperatures, then mix it into butter or oil. The process may sound simple but it requires deep expertise. It’s best (and simply safer) to purchase ready-made edibles from a reliable provider.
The beauty of edibles is that they are delicious and have long-lasting effects. Keep in mind though that they are also pretty strong. If you have any arrangements and plans, it’s better to take care of those first.
#3 Vaping
Vaping live rosin is a popular method because it provides a flavorful and potent experience that is also very relaxing in and of itself. You’ll need a vaporizer designed for concentrates. It will heat the rosin to the perfect temperature without burning it.
The temperature is important because you need to preserve the delicate terpenes and cannabinoids. Overall, if compared to smoking, vaping is less harsh on the throat and lungs compared to smoking. It’s also a bit smoother than the aforementioned edibles.
#4 Dabbing
Dabbing is a very potent way to consume live rosin. Here, you use a special dab rig. It heats a small amount of the concentrate on a hot surface. And that produces a vapor that you inhale. The effects of dabbing are intense and immediate.
3 Common Misconceptions About Live Rosin
Live Rosin Is Healthy
Many people think that because live rosin is natural, it’s inherently healthy. Rather, it is not unhealthy. Yes, it doesn’t contain any chemicals but inhaling any form of vapor can have health risks. So moderation is as essential here as anywhere else.
Live Rosin Is Too Expensive
This is not entirely wrong because its production is, indeed, labor-intensive. But the price depends largely on the product you buy and quantities in the first place.
Live Rosin Is a Universal Solution for Relaxation
Everyone’s experience with cannabis is individual. It is, among all else, dependent on
- individual tolerance
- medical conditions.
It’s always best to be careful and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any doubts or concerns.
