What is Rosin? – A Brief Introduction

Cannabis rosin concentrate is a type of cannabis extract that has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts in recent years. It is made by pressing the trichomes of the cannabis / marijuana* plant at a high pressure producing a solventless extract that is high in thc and terpenes. If you have a favorite strain, there is most certainly a thc rosin you can enjoy too. 

Compared to other cannabis extracts that use solvents, such as butane or CO2, THC rosin is made using only heat and pressure. Buds can be extracted fresh or fresh-frozen, often referred to as “Live Rosin” or the buds and kief can be extracted dry. After applying heat and pressure to the buds / kief, the rosin / oil is collected and can be utilized in a couple different ways. One of the best ways to enjoy cannabis rosin is by using a vape pen. While some consumers enjoy the rosin loose, a vaporizer pen cartridge can be an easier way to enjoy the rosin without a typical water pipe and torch. However, smoking or ‘dabbing’ the rosin is also very popular. You can apply a small ‘dab’ on some buds in your pipe, or you can smoke it solo out of the bong. While the debate may still be on over Live Rosin vs Dry Rosin, the flavors and high are truly remarkable. We’ll let you be the judge!

Most of our cannabis rosin concentrate is high THC rosin for more experienced cannabis consumers. However Piping Plover generally carries an option for a cannabis rosin CBD vape pen that is good for a more relaxed, beginners’ high and for folks looking for a more medicinal marijuana* experience.
