Critical Mass - 2g THCA Liquid Diamond Live Resin Disposable

Live Resin is a type of cannabis extract that is made by adding flash-frozen cannabis leaves to a chilled solvent, usually containing butane and propane, to extract its terpene-rich oils. This butane hash oil (BHO) has to be processed further and evaporated completely to yield Live Resin. Because it goes through this solvent-based process, Live Resin is known for having a high concentration of cannabinoids and a distinctly pronounced flavor. It can be added to vape cartridges and infused into edibles, but the most common method of consumption is dabbing, as its low viscosity helps to smoothen the smoking experience.

HHC, which stands for hexahydrocannabionol, is a naturally occurring compound in hemp. Its chemistry is best explained by a process known as hydrogenation, where a molecule is charged or combined with hydrogen. HHC is a hydrogenated version of THC, having hydrogen atoms where THC's double bonds would be. This small change makes all the difference in terms of the cannabinoid's effects and potency.

The cannabis plant is rich in aromatic terpenes and naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids, the most commonly discussed of which are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Delta-8 THC is the less intense isomer of Delta-9 THC, the psychoactive component of hemp. Delta-8 is often concentrated from organic CBD oil and infused into gummies, tinctures, and capsules. Although it isn't found in high enough concentrations to be harvested independently, Delta-8 distillate can be added to CBD flower to make Delta-8 Flower.

Terpenes are organic plant molecules that are responsible for the distinct aromas and tastes of various cannabis strains. Terpenes are also found in other plants, which is why some strains of cannabis taste or smell strikingly similar to, say, lemons or pine trees. In cannabis plants like hemp, these naturally occurring compounds enhance the unique effects (like relaxation) of various cannabis strains.

Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid are all types of cannabis strains. Each strain of cannabis contains a unique terpene profile, lending to distinct effects, aromas, and tastes. This profile determines which category a cannabis strain falls under. Indicas tend to offer more relaxing effects, whereas Sativas are more uplifting. Hybrid strains have Indica and Sativa terpenes but may lean toward one more than the other (hence why some hybrid strains are called Indica-dominant or Sativa-dominant.) For "absolute" Hybrids, there is a perfect balance of Indica and Sativa terpenes.

THC-A is short for "tetrahydrocannabinolic acid." It is a cannabinoid, meaning it is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis species, including hemp and marijuana. It is a predecessor to THC, as THC-A will decarboxylate into THC when exposed to heat and light.

THC-A can form crystalline bonds. To make diamonds out of THC-A, a producer will use specialized equipment to apply immense amounts of pressure on high concentrations of the cannabinoid along with terpenes. This enormous pressure "pushes" the molecules into place, stacking them on top of one another, forming a solid crystal structure.

THC-P, or tetrahydrocannabiphorol, is a relatively new and rare cannabinoid that is similar to THC in its chemical structure but has been found to be much more potent. It was first discovered in 2019 by Italian researchers who were studying the effects of cannabis on the human body. THC-P has been shown to be up to 30 times more potent than THC, and it is believed to have a longer-lasting effect as well.
