Everything you need to know about this potent cannabis concentrate
Download Article
There are dozens of cannabis concentrates out there today, so why is live resin so highly respected and sought after? Unlike other forms of THC concentrate, live resin is made with fresh marijuana buds—not dried-out leaf like other products. This results in a more flavorful and vibrant product. In this article, we’ll break down how live resin is made, what makes it unique compared to other concentrates, how to store it, and more.
Things You Should Know
- Live resin is made by flash-freezing fresh marijuana plants and then extracting the THC. The result is a potent, flavorful wax.
- The live resin process preserves the terpenes of the plant, which are the compounds responsible for the flavor and aroma of THC.
- Store live resin in an airtight container in your fridge to prevent it from going bad prematurely.

QuestionCan I make edible brownies infused with resin?Lauren Forsch is a CBD Expert and Founder of Popped.NYC based in New York. Popped.NYC is a cannabis company and lifestyle brand that creates CBD products designed to provide people with relief and promote wellness, self-care, and health. With first-hand experience of managing physical pain and anxiety, Lauren found relief from plant-based, CBD remedies. She created Popped.NYC from a desire to help people manage their pain and offers consultations and a wide variety of handmade, THC-free, vegan CBD products.Yes, but I’d recommend starting out with something less concentrated than resin, especially if you're new to edibles. Resin is super potent, and it’s easy to go overboard, so experimenting with flowers first is a better option. After that, you can infuse it into butter or oil, which is perfect for brownies. If you’re just starting out, try using a pre-made mix like Ghirardelli brownies (Costco has them, and they’re amazing). You can experiment with the potency of your infused butter and adjust as you go. Remember, edibles take time to kick in, so start low and slow. Keep an open mind and give yourself time to figure out what works best for your body—it’s all part of the process!
