Live Resin Sugar

Live Resin Sugar

Live Resin is a cannabis concentrate made from fresh-frozen cannabis plants, in which plants are frozen immediately after harvesting, whereas other extraction processes typically use buds that have been dried and cured. This process ensures a greater retention of terpenes in the finished product. In short, when you see “live” in front of a concentrate, regardless of how it is processed, it means the starting plant material has not been dried or cured.

Benefits of Live Resin

When freezing plant directly after harvesting, trichomes stay intact and don’t have the chance to degrade during drying and curing. This gives live resin a higher amount of terpenes compared to extracts that use dried flower.
Because of these higher terpene levels, live resins are extremely fragrant and flavorful. But high terpene levels don’t just make it taste better – more terpenes add to the entourage effect, and the overall experience for the consumer.
Live Resins also tend to have a more sauce-like consistency than other concentrates, such as shatter or wax. This thinner consistency makes them easier to handle and ideal for vape cartridges, which is why they have become so popular for consumers and processors in recent years.

Sugar, sometimes called “sugar wax,” is a type of cannabis concentrate with a consistency like wet sugar or sugar mixed with a liquid but not dissolved. Cannabis sugar is made through chemical extraction and can be made from dried flower or fresh frozen cannabis plants. Sugar often has a bright yellow or deep amber color. Due to its semi-crystalline consistency, sugars tend to lock in flavor and are known to have incredible terpene profiles and flavors with THC level around 90%.
Sugar was originally created by accident – other cannabis derived extracts turned into sugar over time. Various factors contribute to creating sugar, such as time and condensation. Today, extraction artists have perfecting making sugar and it is made directly rather than waiting for other concentrates to turn into one.
