What Is THC Rosin?

THC has a long and extensive history with humans. We’ve used it for thousands of years, finding different ways to extract its potency for consumption. Different products have been produced, and one currently making waves is THC rosin. 

You may have heard of it, but what exactly is rosin? We’ll take the time to explore the potential benefits of THC Rosin, the different methods used to ingest the product, and where you can find it. Let’s get started.

THC Rosin Defined

The sticky, shiny resin glands on the surface of marijuana flower buds and leaves are called trichomes. They appear to be little hairs decorating the plant. Rosin is the concentrate that results from using heat to compress trichomes. It can be easy to confuse rosin with resin, but they’re different. When rosin is created, no solvents are used, but THC resin is made using a chemical solvent. THC rosin also tends to offer a cleaner and purer taste compared to other concentrates.

As a highly concentrated form of Delta 9 or Delta 8 THC, THC rosin is quite strong and can get you very high if you inhale or ingest too much of it. Due to THC rosin’s strength, it’s important to start with a single puff from a dab pen or a small edible to gauge the effects. A good way to think of its potency is that it’s more powerful than standard smokeable flower but less powerful than other concentrates made using solvents and chemicals. 

Different Types of THC Rosin

While you can find several different types of THC rosin, the most popular kinds tend to be hash rosin, flower rosin, and dry sift rosin. As you consider trying THC rosin, learn more about the most popular types below:

  • Hash Rosin: Hash rosin is the most popular of the rosin products. This concentrate is extremely potent and does not contain much of the plant material found in other marijuana products. However, making this kind of rosin requires skill and patience, so while the end product is highly sought-after, the production process is viewed as difficult.
  • Flower Rosin: The process to make this product is pretty simple. Heat and pressure are applied to the flower bud, which means a lot of the plant material remains in the final product. While the process is easier, many don’t like the flavor of flower rosin.
  • Dry Sift Rosin: Many THC enthusiasts prefer this dry sift rosin because the extraction process isn’t as messy as the others. Flowers are broken up and sifted on screens to loosen the trichomes. The process is simple yet time-consuming.

The Difference Between THC Rosin and THCP Rosin

To put it simply, THCP Rosin is much more potent than Delta 9 or Delta 8 THC rosin. You may see both being sold and dispensary, so it’s important to note the difference. THC rosin is made from plants and can be found in most THC products.

THCP, or tetrahydrocannabiphorol, is found in low concentrations in the plant. The average plant has less than .1% of THCP but about 30% of THC. These small amounts of THCP are extracted and heat-compressed to produce rosin. You’ll likely experience the same psychoactive effects of THC, but THCP is around 30 times stronger than Delta 9, meaning you’ll want to watch your dosage.

Possible Benefits of THC Rosin

While THC and its effects are still being studied, some studies and anecdotal reports suggest that it could have some potential benefits. Below are a few of the potential advantages of THC rosin:

  • Reduce anxiety: Individuals suffering from PTSD and other anxiety disorders may find that THC rosin stabilizes their mood.
  • Quick pain relief: Those with painful nerve disorders may find relief with THC rosin.
  • Insomnia relief: Many find they fall asleep faster if they consume THC rosin before bedtime.
  • Increased appetite: Cancer patients and others living with conditions that suppress their natural hunger may find this useful in stimulating their appetites.
  • Euphoria and happiness: Like other THC products, you may experience euphoric or happy feelings after taking THC rosin. 

Can You Smoke THC Rosin?

Though THC rosin doesn’t come in an easily smokable flower form like standard Delta 8 or Delta 9 joints, it can be smoked through a few different methods. Some of the most common ways to smoke THC Rosin include:

  • Dab Pen: Dabbing is a popular method for vaping concentrates, as dab pens feature a simple and easy-to-use design. Once you place the concentrate in a vape cartridge attached to your pen, the pen will heat the concentrate before you inhale its vapor. Delta 8 dab cartridges and pens featuring THC rosin are popular in many dispensaries.
  • Dab Rig: With a dab rig, you’ll smoke the THC rosin much like you would with a water pipe. Instead of placing the flower in the bowl, rosin is used, and the water cools the vapor for a clean smoke.
  • Infuse: Another method for smoking is to add it to marijuana flower and place it in a joint or water pipe.

If you’re looking for an even stronger high, you might want to give THCP rosin a shot. But can you dab THCP? The answer is yes. You can dab or infuse recipes with THCP rosin just like any other THC rosin product.
