What Is Live Resin? (And Why It Matters)
Live resin is a full-spectrum cannabis extract made from fresh-frozen flower, preserving the plant’s complete chemical profile. Unlike distillates:
Key Differentiators
- Fresh-Frozen Process: Plants frozen at harvest to lock in terpenes
- Full Cannabinoid Spectrum: THC, CBD, CBG, etc. work together
- 10-15% Terpene Content (vs. 1-3% in distillates)
- Strain-Specific Effects: Delivers the cultivar’s true personality
Scientific Insight: Studies show live resin contains 40% more active compounds than distillates (Journal of Cannabis Research, 2022).
Live Resin vs. Distillate: The Clear Winner
| Feature | Live Resin | Distillate |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | Fresh-frozen flower | Decarboxylated biomass |
| Terpenes | Natural, strain-specific | Often artificial/reintroduced |
| Potency | 70-90% THC + other cannabinoids | 90-99% pure THC |
| Effects | Full “entourage effect” | One-dimensional high |
| Flavor | Authentic plant profile | Neutral/chemical aftertaste |
User Tip: For medical users, live resin’s full spectrum provides better pain/anxiety relief than isolated THC.
How to Identify Premium Live Resin
1. Color & Consistency
- High-Quality: Golden, saucy texture
- Low-Quality: Dark, crumbly, or overly liquid
2. Lab Testing (Non-Negotiable)
Look for COAs showing:
- Terpene percentages (10%+ is premium)
- No contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals)
- Cannabinoid profile (THC + minors like CBG, CBC)
3. Hardware Matters
- Ceramic coils preserve flavor
- Glass carts prevent leaching
