BlazebuddyLive Resin vs Rosin: What Canadian Redditors Say
Last updated
What live resin and hash rosin are
Live resin and rosin are both cannabis concentrates [1]. Live resin differs from other concentrates in how it is made: it uses fresh cannabis, either freshly harvested or flash-frozen, which helps protect the plant's aroma and flavour [1].
Rosin is made without chemical solvents, by pressing cannabis flower, dry sift or ice-water hash between heated plates [2]. Health Canada's label guide lists "resin" and "rosin" among cannabis extracts [3].
