As the legal cannabis industry in Canada, particularly Ontario, flourishes, a profusion of innovative and exciting marijuana concentrates have sprouted up. Much like stepping into a craft beer festival where each brewer has a unique blend to offer, we at The Farmhouse, your friendly neighbourhood cannabis retail in Burlington, Ontario, share the same enthusiasm about the vibrant world of cannabis concentrates and oils. Let’s delve into the intricacies of rosin, resin, and cannabis oil, each with their unique THC content and methods of extraction.
Rosin: The Bespoke Craft Brew of Cannabis
Imagine making an apple pie. The oven’s heat and pressure extract the apples’ natural sweetness and flavour, creating a delectable, concentrated filling. This scenario mirrors the process of creating rosin, a type of cannabis concentrate. Cannabis plants are subjected to heat and pressure, sifting out the plant’s trichomes – tiny crystals that shimmer on the plant like sugar glaze on a doughnut. These trichomes, rich in active cannabis compounds, yield a potent concentrate called rosin when heated and pressurized.
The allure of rosin lies in its artisanal purity, resulting from a solventless extraction process. It’s the high-quality craft brew of the cannabis world, free of any additives or solvents, offering a premium, potent, and full-bodied experience with high THC levels. Like a fine wine or gourmet cheese, rosin requires appropriate storage, such as parchment paper sealed in a jar or stored in glass or silicone containers, to maintain its quality.
Resin: The Stout with a Bold Kick
Resin and rosin, while both derived from the same cannabis plant, differ in their extraction methods. Resin, unlike rosin, uses a solvent in its extraction process, specifically butane or propane, which makes it synonymous with butane hash oil (BHO). This solvent-based extraction gives resin a robust kick, akin to a strong stout, but may include other elements in the mix due to the complex extraction process.
Cannabis Oil: The Refreshing Lager of the Cannabis World
For those seeking an uncomplicated, laid-back way to enjoy cannabis, akin to savouring a light lager on a sunny day, cannabis oil is an ideal choice. It’s created by infusing active compounds of the cannabis plant into a carrier oil using CO2 extraction, a popular method ensuring high-quality oil free from additives or fillers. This process is akin to steeping tea leaves to brew your morning cup of tea.
Cannabis oil offers different amounts of CBD and THC, according to your preference. CBD oil, with its wellness benefits, can be likened to a non-alcoholic beer, while THC oil provides the classic ‘high’ reminiscent of a regular beer buzz. We recommend starting with a modest amount and adjusting according to your comfort level and the effects you experience.
Cannabis oil is as versatile as a good lager, pairing well with various dishes. You can use it sublingually, infuse it into coffee, incorporate it into your cooking, or take it in pre-measured capsules. Each method offers a unique experience, much like that first refreshing sip of your favourite brew.
