Pink Panther - 5g 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 to extract its terpene-rich oils. Because it goes through this solvent-based process, Live Resin is known for having a high concentration of cannabinoids and a distinctly pronounced flavor.

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 essentially 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.
