However, there are several different types of cannabis concentrates such as Budder, Crumble, Sauce, Wax, Sugar, Resin, Rosin, and more. So what\u2019s the difference, and what does it mean for Ohio Medical Marijuana patients?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Process_of_Creating_Cannabis_Concentrates\"><\/span>The Process of Creating Cannabis Concentrates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are not an experienced concentrate user, Live Resin and Rosin may just look like a typo. However, they are actually two completely different things and actually made through different processes. Live extraction allows the plants&#8217; terpenes to be preserved by delivering a much more potent and favorable experience for patients compared to other cannabis forms. The term \u2018Live\u2019 refers to the concentrates that have been extracted or taken directly from the cannabis plant. The next part of the process is drying and curing the plant, and then it is later processed. Typically it takes a week or two for the plant to be dried out to remove the moisture, yet preserve the terpenes.<\/p>\n<p>After the cannabis is dried, it is then cured. However, every plant is different with what care is required, so some curing timelines look different for different strains. Curing is the process of thoroughly drying the cannabis plant in a controlled environment that gets rid of excess moisture and other compounds so that the plant has more flavor and potency when finished curing. An ideal cure, deliver the desired effects the plant was grown for, to ultimately help relieve unwanted symptoms from medical patients. Another upside to a properly cured cannabis plant is that it is actually easier on patients&#8217; lungs when inhaled, due to the slow release of compounds such as sugar and starches. The goal for every grower and patient is to consume the best quality plant, meaning it\u2019s potent, fragrant, and delivers the desired effects. You\u2019ll quickly know if your cannabis is \u2018bad\u2019 if you have little or no scent or flavor, and it is \u2018harsh\u2019 or hurts to consume.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Live_Resin\"><\/span>What is Live Resin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Live Resin, such as Shatter or Wax, are known concentrates that are extracted from the plant by using a hydrocarbon extract such as butane, propane, or CO2. This is done by \u2018blasting\u2019 the ground-up plant matter with the solvent (butane or propane) at extremely high pressure. This then creates a sticky liquid, that has a similar consistency to honey or liquid dish soap. Live Resin is typically brown or gold in color. Next, the solvent is removed from the concentrate without being exposed to any air. Depending on the solvents, and types of plant matter used to process concentrates patients can expect different consistencies and flavor profiles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Live_Rosin\"><\/span>What is Live Rosin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Live Rosin is known as a full-spectrum, solventless concentrate. This means that when processing the concentrate, there are no chemicals or solvents used such as butane, or propane. \u201cFull Spectrum,\u201d Live Rosin contains the full terpene and cannabinoid profile unique to the cultivar used, accurately representing the profile of the strain. Upon harvest, \u201cLive\u201d plants are immediately frozen fresh to preserve the phytochemical properties, then washed in ice water to separate the trichome heads from plant material. The resulting Ice Water Bubble Hash is dehydrated and mechanically pressed to extract the oil from within trichome heads.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_difference_between_Live_Resin_and_Live_Rosin\"><\/span>The difference between Live Resin and Live Rosin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you know now, it\u2019s not just a typo. Not only are the processes different for creating the two concentrates, but so are the purities of each type of concentrate. The extraction method is important to know when it comes to defining which concentrate you\u2019d rather purchase. Live Resin can still offer many benefits to patients with its preserved terpene profiles and high potency, however, Live Rosin is a cleaner, high-quality option that does not use any solvents to create a potent, flavorful, option for patients. It is important to know that no matter which process is used to create the concentrate, each batch can look different depending on the strain or cultivar used.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the process of creating a cannabis concentrate is a little intense, which is another perk to getting your My Marijuana Card. Patients can rest easy knowing that their medicine has been tested and approved by the state, compared to purchasing concentrates from a friend or in a recreational state that has looser testing guidelines. Licensed cultivators and processors across the state of Ohio are heavily regulated on their processes for creating and manufacturing medical marijuana products for patients.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_purchase_Concentrates\"><\/span>Where can I purchase Concentrates?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All of Ohio\u2019s dispensaries offer a variety of concentrate options from different cultivators.
