Live rosin is a solventless cannabis concentrate made from fresh-frozen cannabis plants. Frozen plants are placed in a rosin press, which uses heat and pressure to extract a hot oil from the plants, which is rosin. The “live” in live rosin means frozen plants were used as the source material; when dried cannabis plant material is used, it is just rosin.

Live rosin vs. live resin

The term “live” means that fresh-frozen cannabis plants were used to make an extraction. Frozen plants can be used to make both a rosin or a resin, giving them the names “live rosin” and “live resin.” Simple rosins and resins are made with dry cannabis plant material.

Live rosin and rosin are both solventless extracts made using a rosin press, where heated plates press nugs to extract a hot oil. Live rosin and rosin are both consumed in a dab rig, and both are made by hand, typically making them more expensive than live resin.

Live resin is a solvent extraction, created using chemicals such as butane in a closed-loop system. Live resin is usually less expensive than live rosin or rosin.

‘Fresh press’ vs ‘cold cure’

Two more terms you will hear about live rosin are the types fresh press, and cold cure. Fresh press live rosin is freshly pressed. Cold cure live rosin is pressed, then allowed to age in a freezer aka cold cure. Cold cure is more stable at room temperature than fresh press—meaning cold cure is less liable to change color, consistency, and taste. Always keep fresh press and cold cure live rosin cold to savor every terp.

RESIN VS  VS ROSIN: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

While they sound incredibly similar, resin, and rosin are very different products. The differences between the three products are:

• Resin: The cannabis community defines resin in two ways—it’s the sticky tar-like mess left in your pipe after you smoke, or it’s the sticky sap that coats your fingers after you handle some premium bud. You may also hear the term “cured resin.” Cured resin is a concentrate made by pushing solvents through dried cannabis bud. A combination of this extraction process, heat, and pressure helps to create a cured resin sauce.
• Live Resin: To make live resin, marijuana plants are harvested and immediately flash-frozen to preserve all the compounds we love, like cannabinoids and terpenes. Then, that flash-frozen product is put through a careful extraction process to pull those compounds from the plant material. The result is a treat to the senses—an aromatic, full-flavor concentrate called live resin.
• Rosin: Forget solvents. Rosin is a concentrate extracted from dried, cured marijuana plants with only heat and pressure (or some machine-based methods). This solventless extraction process separates the trichomes from the plant and then compresses them. What is left is a gooey, creamy concentrate. You may also hear the term “live rosin” when you’re at the dispensary. Live rosin is made the exact same way as rosin, but it uses flash-frozen plant material, rather than dried and cured plant material.

LIVE RESIN VS OTHER CONCENTRATES: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

There are several differences between  and other concentrates. First,  is made from cannabis that has been harvested and immediately flash-frozen. Many concentrates you find on the market are made from dried cannabis flower. Second, the process of preserving the cannabis plant through flash-freezing ensures that terpenes are preserved. This makes more flavorful and aromatic compared to other concentrates. Third, when the extraction process takes place, it’s with the still-flash frozen cannabis. This makes it easier to preserve cannabinoids and terpenes compared to other concentrate-creation methods.
