Premium THCa Live Rosin - Runtz

What Is Live Rosin?

 

Live Rosin is a type of cannabis concentrate that’s made using a special method called solventless extraction. Unlike some other concentrates, Live Rosin doesn’t use any chemicals in the process, which means it’s considered a more natural option.

 

Here’s how it’s made: first, fresh cannabis flowers are frozen to preserve their natural compounds. Then, they’re pressed under heat and pressure to squeeze out the resin, which contains the active ingredients like THC and terpenes. The result is a sticky, golden substance known as Live Rosin.

 

One of the great things about Live Rosin is that it retains a lot of the flavors and aromas of the original cannabis plant. This means you can experience the full spectrum of tastes and smells that the plant has to offer. Plus, because it’s made without solvents, Live Rosin is often seen as a cleaner and purer option compared to other concentrates.

 

When you use Live Rosin, you can expect powerfully elevating effects thanks to its high concentration of THC. It’s a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate the natural qualities of the plant and want a potent whole-plant experience without any added chemicals.

 

Ingredients – What’s In Live Rosin?

 

Live Rosin primarily consists of two key components: cannabinoids and terpenes.

 

Cannabinoids:

These are the chemical compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, producing various effects. The most well-known cannabinoid is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the psychoactive effects commonly associated with cannabis. However, Live Rosin can also contain other cannabinoids such as CBD (cannabidiol), CBC (cannabichromene), and CBG (cannabigerol), among others. The specific cannabinoid profile of Live Rosin can vary depending on the strain of cannabis used in its production.

 

Terpenes:

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They contribute to the plant’s distinctive aroma and flavor profile. In Live Rosin, terpenes are preserved from the original cannabis plant, giving it a rich and complex flavor profile. Terpenes also play a role in the overall effects of cannabis, as they can interact with cannabinoids in what’s known as the entourage effect. This phenomenon suggests that cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically to produce unique therapeutic effects.

 

Additionally, Live Rosin may contain trace amounts of other compounds found in cannabis, such as flavonoids and minor cannabinoids. The exact composition of Live Rosin can vary depending on factors such as the strain of cannabis used, the extraction method, and any post-processing techniques employed.

 

How Is Live Rosin Made?

 

Live resin is made through a process called solventless extraction, which involves using heat and pressure to extract resin from cannabis flowers or hashish (a concentrated form of cannabis). In this case, our THCa Live Rosin is made from Runtz ice water hash, which is then pressed into rosin.

 

Here’s a general overview of how hash rosin is made:

 

Starting Material Selection:

High-quality cannabis flowers or hashish are chosen as the starting material. The quality of the starting material greatly influences the final product.

 

Making Ice Water Hash:

1. Cannabis buds or trim are submerged in ice water and agitated, causing the trichomes (resin glands) to freeze, become brittle, and break off of the plant’s surface.
2. The mixture is filtered through a series of mesh bags, often called “bubble bags,” which have different micron sizes. These bags help to separate the trichome heads from the plant material.
3. The trichomes are collected from the mesh bags and dried to produce ice water hash, also known as bubble hash.

 

Making Hash Rosin:

1. After drying, the ice water hash is placed between parchment paper and subjected to heat and pressure using a rosin press.
2. The heat and pressure cause the resinous trichomes within the hash to liquefy and release their oils.
3. The resulting oil, known as hash rosin, is collected on the parchment paper.
4. Optionally, the hash rosin can undergo further purification or refinement processes to remove any remaining impurities.

 

This method of making hash rosin preserves the quality and integrity of the trichomes by first extracting them through ice water extraction and then using heat and pressure to create the final concentrate.

 

Effects

 

Live Rosin delivers potent effects that are similar to smoking or vaping flower but with greater intensity and a richer flavor. Thanks to the nature of rosin extraction, you get all the accessory cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in the final product. This gives you the most accurate expression of a particular strain and concentrates its potency. In turn, enthusiasts find that Live Rosin delivers more nuanced and pleasing results than other forms of THCa-rich extracts.

 

Our Runtz THCa Live Rosin comes from a cross of Gelato and Zkittlez, the two parent strains of Runtz. With the sweet, gassy profile of Gelato and the candy-like notes of Zkittlez, this strain really ticks all the boxes when it comes to potency, effects, and flavor.

 

How to Use THCA Live Rosin

 

Live rosin can be consumed in various ways, depending on personal preference and the equipment available. Here are some common methods:

 

Dabbing: Dabbing is a popular method for consuming concentrates like live rosin. It involves heating a “dab rig” with a torch until it’s hot, then placing a small amount of live rosin onto a dab tool and applying it to the heated nail or banger. As the live rosin vaporizes, it’s inhaled through the dab rig.

 

Vaporization: Live rosin can also be consumed using a vaporizer specifically designed for concentrates. These vaporizers typically have a chamber or attachment where the live rosin is placed. When heated, the live rosin vaporizes, allowing it to be inhaled through the vaporizer.

 

Adding to Flower: Some people prefer to add a small amount of live rosin to the top of a bowl or joint of cannabis flower. This method, often called “twaxing,” enhances the potency and flavor of the flower when smoked.

 

Edibles: Live rosin can also be incorporated into homemade cannabis-infused edibles. To do this, the live rosin is typically mixed with fat or oil (such as coconut oil or butter) to make it easier to incorporate into recipes for baked goods, candies, or other edibles.

 

Regardless of the method chosen, it’s important to start with a small amount of live rosin and gradually increase the dose as needed to achieve the desired effects. Additionally, always ensure that any equipment used for dabbing or vaporizing is clean and in good working condition to maximize safety and enjoyment.

How Is Live Rosin Made?

Making Live Rosin is a three-step process. Here’s the step-by-step process of how live Rosin is made:

1. Harvesting and Freezing Fresh Cannabis. Freshly harvested cannabis plants are immediately frozen to preserve their cannabinoids and terpenes when they are most volatile and at the height of peak freshness. This process gives Rosin its “live” quality and enhances its flavor and aroma.
2. Ice Water Extraction. The frozen plant material is placed in ice water and moved around to extract trichomes, which contain the desired compounds. The mixture is then strained through micron bags, which resemble fine mesh filters, isolating the trichome heads and producing bubble hash. The hash is then freeze-dried to remove the moisture, resulting in a potent, powdery substance.
3. Rosin Pressing with Heat and Pressure. The final step involves placing the dried bubble hash in a rosin press, specialized equipment with heated plates that apply pressure. The heat and pressure squeeze the resin from the bubble hash, creating a sticky golden concentrate.

ips for Beginners

Live Rosin is extremely pure and potent. Beginners must be careful when taking the product to avoid overdoing it. Here are some tips to keep in mind.

• Limit yourself to small doses. Add small amounts of Live Rosin to bowls, joints, and dabs. Inhale slowly and try not to take too much.
• Wait and see how you feel. Live Rosin hits rather quickly, but it could take some time before you feel the full effects. Use a little, then see how you feel before using more.
• Use in a safe environment. The impact of cannabis can be more pronounced in a stressful or unfamiliar environment, especially with a strong product like Live Rosin. Beginners should experiment in a space where they feel safe and secure.

Storage and Handling Tips

The following storage and handling tips ensure a positive Live Rosin experience:
