What is Live Resin?

Live Resin is extracted from fresh cannabis plant material that was not dried or cured. This method is used to retain the terpenes that are lost during the drying and curing process. Products that have been extracted using the live resin process — freezing the cannabis plant material and extracting it — have been associated as high-quality, flavorful concentrates due to the high amounts of terpenes. These extracts are a crude, single-pass extraction utilizing nonpolar solvents like butane and propane at very low temperatures to isolate a mixture of cannabinoids, terpenes, fats, waxes, tannins, and other nonpolar plant molecules. The extract is then enriched by removing the solvent using distillation.
