Live resin is a novel cannabis concentrate that is high in terpenes and is becoming increasingly popular due to its special qualities and production method. Terpenes are oils secreted by the cannabis plant and give each strain its unique taste and smell. What's fascinating is that terpenes are produced by the same glands that produce the THC and CBD in the hemp plant. The entire magic of live resin is in the name.
Live resin extraction is executed through a time sensitive process that involves promptly freezing fresh cannabis (full of moisture) after harvest, rather than trimming and drying it. Because live resin is processed without drying out the plant, this helps preserve the integrity of the trichomes and the resulting concentrate is potent and more accurately captures the terpene profile of the living plant, thus rendering better aromas, better flavors and an effective way to reap the medicinal and recreational benefits.
Live Resin Delta 8 Cartridges and Delta 8 cartridges from distillate come with advantages in comparison to smoking "joints" or blunts. Due to their discreetness, ease of use, and effectiveness cartridges and disposables have essentially eclipsed the traditional method of smoking cannabis in recent years. You can use them anywhere without being offensive to others.
Live Resin cartridges offer a more in-depth experience in terms of flavor and smell due to the abundance of preserved compounds and terpenes during its extraction process. It is unlikely to get the same experience (smell + taste-wise) using cartridges made of only distillate and botanically derived terpenes. They will both deliver a balanced experience experience depending on the quality of the extract used. However, the Delta 8 THC live resin cartridge will have a more potent and smooth delivery. At the end of the day, it boils down to consumer preference and what you're looking for in a cannabis concentrate.
