Check Out This Hemp Combo: Delta 9 THC + Live Resin

The hemp industry is moving so fast that if you blink, you might miss the next big game-changing addition to the market. Right now, two massive trends on the market are federally compliant (hemp-derived) delta 9 THC, and live resin. As you can imagine, bringing these two together offers a hemp experience like no other, thanks to the synergistic relationship that hemp’s compounds share with one another.

Live resin is a fairly new way to extract the terpenes and flavonoids out of the hemp plant, and it can make an impressive difference in how much you’re able to satisfy your needs when you consume your favorite product. So, let’s explore what live resin can bring to the delta 9 world, in particular.

What Live Resin Can Offer to Your Hemp-Derived Delta 9 THC Experience

Live resin is a type of hemp extract that is noticeably different at first glance – its color is darker, and its consistency is thicker than more traditional extracts. These differences reflect the much higher concentration of terpenes and flavonoids successfully extracted from the plant material.

The more traditional types of hemp extracts that many of us are familiar with come from raw hemp flower buds that have been dry-cured – in other words, left in a dark, dry, and cool place to partially dry out, to prevent the spread of fungus and bacteria. Dry-curing is a great method for flower products, but it leaves a lot to be desired when the material is used for extractions. That’s because it subdues the terpenes and flavonoidsfound in the sticky coating of raw hemp flower, known as its trichomes. Dry-curing suppresses some of the flavor of the plant and its effects that come from these compounds.

Live resin is different. Rather than dry-curing flower buds, they’re dipped into a flash-freezing agent like liquid nitrogen. What this does is perfectly preserve these trichomes and keep them perfectly fresh so that when it’s time to extract, the terpenes and flavonoids taste and behave as though they came from freshly picked flower.

Live resin therefore offers a much more potent hemp experience, since the high concentration of terpenes and flavonoids means you get stronger effects associated with these compounds, and flavor, while they contribute more to the entourage effect which supports the bioavailability of hemp-derived delta 9 THC.

How to Get the Best Live Resin + Delta 9 Products

Live resin is pretty available these days, and also will become only more accessible as time goes on thanks to its growing popularity. What’s convenient about live resin is, it can be used milliliter for milliliter instead of traditional extract. Meaning, you don’t need to change the amount of hemp you take daily, and companies don’t need to totally reformulate their products in order to accommodate live resin.

Live resin can go into any hemp-based product concentrates/dabs, edibles, flower, vapes you name it. Speaking of ‘vapes’, these are definitely the most popular option. Why? Because the thick nature of live resin is great for vaping devices. But, the sky is the limit, as the industry is finding out fast.

When shopping for live resin products, you want to make sure you’re looking for a reputable, trustworthy company as always, and look for third-party lab reports that should be available through a brand’s website. The lab reports will show a stronger concentration of terpenes, which again is something inherent to live resin.

We do want to point out that live resin is so concentrated that vaping it may cause a little harshness as you adjust. And, because the terpenes are more potent, you can find that a little really goes a long way.
