Live Resin Extracts
Quality Live Resin
Unlike distillate, Primary Jane only removes the THC and CBD from the cannabis plant, live resin retains the entire cannabinoid and terpene profile, resulting in a much richer sensory experience when dabbed or vaped. It can also be added to flower, providing a more layered entourage effect when smoked or vaped. It’s typically more expensive than wax or shatter, but discerning consumers find the higher cost well worth the additional benefits.
Live Resin Extracts consuming any concentrate can be dangerous if over-consumed, it’s particularly important to pay attention to the potency of live resin. A higher THC content can result in more psychoactive effects and may also trigger unwanted side effects like anxiety or paranoia. Unsafe extraction practices can also introduce residual solvents and contaminants, potentially causing respiratory issues.
To avoid these risks, always purchase your live resin from a trusted source that offers third-party lab results and has a clear understanding of how their products are made. Look for a clean appearance and a fresh aroma to know you’re buying quality. If your resin appears murky or has a strange odor, it’s a red flag that the manufacturer took shortcuts and is likely selling contaminated product.
Proper storage is also key. Live resin should be kept in a dark, cool place to preserve the terpene profile. A drawer or cupboard is a great place to keep it, or for longer-term storage, refrigeration can also be beneficial. Alternatively, electronic dab rigs provide a modern, user-friendly way to enjoy the full range of flavors and benefits of live resin without requiring the use of a torch.
