What is Live Resin?

Live resin is a cannabis concentrate made from fresh-frozen plants to preserve more of the original terpenes, giving it a strong aroma and flavor.

Unlike most extracts made from dried material, live resin is produced from cannabis that is frozen immediately after harvest, which retains volatile terpenes that would otherwise be lost in drying. The result is a fragrant, flavorful concentrate prized by enthusiasts and usually consumed by dabbing or in vape cartridges. It is typically made using hydrocarbon solvents under controlled conditions.
