Check Out This Hemp Combo: Delta 8 THC + Live Resin

No hemp enthusiast can deny that delta 8 THC is a phenomenal cannabinoid all on its own, offering a variety of valuable properties that can help us feel more at ease in both the physical and mental sense. Delta 8 is known for its indica-like properties that help us feel more laid back, and it can be just as useful to the muscles and joints of the body.

While delta 8 THC in and of itself is wonderful, combining it with live resin can take your delta 8 experience to a whole new level. Now, how awesome is that?

What Live Resin Can Do for Your Delta 8 THC Routine

Live resin is an alternative to the more conventional type of extractions that are on the market. Most hemp that you find, both in flower and extract-infused form, comes from buds that were dry-cured after they were picked off of the industrial hemp plant. This is a way to preserve them, slightly drying them out so that they don’t attract pathogens that can lead to disease. Dry-curing is a great preservation method for raw flower, but it comes with a drawback, which is that it degrades the resinous trichomes that coat the buds. It’s these trichomes that give the raw hemp plant its sticky feeling, and they’re rich in terpenes and flavonoidswhich supplies loads of useful properties. Drying them out minimizes their concentration in the resulting extract that goes into standard hemp products.

Live resin fixes all of this. Rather than dry-curing the buds, they’re dipped in a flash-freezing agent like liquid nitrogen when they’re completely fresh. This preserves the trichomes far more effectively, and thus, gives us extracts that contain far higher levels of terpenes and flavonoids. Live resin is much more potent in these compounds, which is why it’s noticeably darker and thicker than regular extracts. It also boosts the entourage effect by working synergistically with delta 8 THC to give us a much more satisfying experience overall, complete with enhanced bioavailability as well as flavor. Live resin gives us a hemp experience closer to how nature intended, to reap the full rewards of the plant’s chemical composition.

Securing Top-Quality, Authentic Live Resin + D8

Live resin can be used interchangeably with more traditional extracts. Meaning, any hemp-infused product made with an extract of the plant material can be crafted with live resin instead. Vapes are the most popular, since the thick nature of live resin goes well with vaping devices. But, you can also find live resin in the form of concentrates/dabs, edibles, flower, and any other type of product under the sun.

The key is finding the right kind of live resin in terms of quality. First off, companies can lie and claim to make live resin when they don’t, so you’ll want to make sure that you’re buying from a reputable company like the Calm Leaf, where we have very product lab-tested to prove that we’re using only the good stuff.

Live resin + D8 products will contain pure live resin with the addition of delta 8 THC distillate, since delta 8 is extracted in a different way from the terpenes and the flavonoids found in hemp. So, as usual, you can choose your milligram strength based on what’s available, as well as your strain, depending on the product type.

Live resin is more potent than traditional terpene-rich extracts, and so you will want to consider scaling back your dosage the first time by a little bit, to see how that enhanced potency affects you. And, all that terpene action means that if you’re vaping a live resin product, it may be a tad bit harsh than what you’re used to, so consider pulling a little more lightly as you adjust.
