Live Resin: The Basics

Live resin is a weed concentrate that’s made by flash-freezing fresh cannabis before THC extraction. Live resin is rich in flavor and aroma, and preserves the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes for a balanced, well-rounded high. Live resin is also known for offering strong strain-specific experiences, but typically has a lower THC content than distillate.

Distillate: The Basics

Distillate often has a clear, honey-like appearance and is highly refined, containing pure THC or CBD and not much else. Through distillation, impurities are removed to provide consumers with a potent concentrate that can contain up to 90% THC.

Distillate doesn’t have much of a weedy taste, making it a good fit for edibles. Some of the benefits of weed come from a so-called entourage effect, a theory that the compounds of weed work collaboratively. When you choose a THC or CBD-only distillate, you might lose out on some of the entourage benefits of weed.

Choosing Your Concentrate

It comes down to a matter of preference when choosing between live resin and distillate. If you’re looking for a strain-specific experience, it likely makes the most sense to choose a live resin option. If you’re focused on getting your THC content as high as possible, you’ll want to stick with a distillate. Not sure what type of weed concentrate is the best fit for you? We’ve got you.
