Introduction
Cannabis is both hemp and marijuana. This plant relationship could be likened to “dueling family” because the differences between the two branches of cannabis. So, with that clarification, THCA diamond concentration and live resin concentration are both potent forms of cannabis concentrates but different in their own right. Let’s start with resin which is what those beautiful crystals on the hemp flower are filled with. To get live resin, it has to be harvested before the hemp flower is harvested. But to make THCA diamonds a bit of the solvent is left behind in the live resin then purged out slowly leaving a crystallization of the THCA into “diamonds”. To sum it up, Live Resin has a more complex savors impact which THCA diamonds are more potent.
Hemp Kicks Butt with Diamonds and Resin — THCA Diamonds
To start at the beginning, THCA is an acidic precursor to the great and mighty THC. When you purchase cannabis, it all contains THCA. If the COA that you read on the product says THC, 20%, that is inaccurate. It actually contains 20% THCA. Heat causes decarboxylation turning THCA into THC. Here is the kicker, if THCA has not matured into THC, it is not psychoactive because it has not decarboxylated. This cannabis extract is made up of small crystalline structures that have the physical appearance of diamonds and contain around 90% THCA. These diamonds can be dabbed, vaporized or smoked. DONE
Manufacturing Process
The two options to make THCA diamonds could be explained as follows. There is the crystalline method and the basic closed-loop system using solvent-based concentrates. The closed-loop system uses a liquid solvent to extract the THCA from the plant matter. The liquid solvent full of cannabinoids comes out the bottom of the tube. Many times, the manufacturer does not remove all of the solvent used immediately. There is the option to use high heat and pressure to force the solvent out or lot is purge off more slowly itself. Letting the solvent purge off itself better allows the THCA diamonds to form. The negative is that the process involves several weeks.
The crystalline method is when highly refined cannabis concentrates along with all their terpenes and lipids are removed with a solvent. The pressure and heat applied slowly causes evaporation, which is the best environment for crystals to form. The THCA slowly falls to the bottom of the container. During this process, if the manufacturer maintains the concentrations and temperatures optimal, the THCA molecules form a bond one to the other to form crystalline structures or diamonds.
Hemp Kicks Butt with Diamonds and Resin –Looking at Live Resin
We then have live resin, which is another type of cannabis concentrate. Unlike most other concentrates, live resin is made using freshly harvested cannabis that has not been cured. Sometimes it is frozen for a couple of days, but it is never cured, hence why it is called live resin.
Many people prefer this type of resin or concentrate as it contains a higher amount of terpenes than concentrates made with cured buds, therefore allowing for a better flavor profile. This type of concentrate is also very potent.
Live resin is a fairly oily and sticky substance, kind of like honey. It can also be extremely potent and easily contain 80% THC. Live resin can be vaporized, dabbed, smoked, and even turned into edibles. Here’s a list of the best strains for live resin.
The Manufacturing Process
The live resin manufacturing process is similar to how THCA diamonds are made. When the manufacturer wants to make live resin, the plant matter is flash-frozen for a few hours until the extraction process occurs. The closed-loop extraction process involves using solvents such as butane and blast it through the plant matter while it absorbs the cannabinoids and comes out as a solution. When the manufacturer uses heat, pressure and a vacuum oven to create pure live resin, it will be a great deal more potent.
Potency and Flavor
Two very important points in any concentrate is their potency and their flavor. Live resin has between 50% and 80% THC so that will be potent. But live resin contains most of terpenes and flavonoids in the plant matter. Most users say that regular live resin is much tastier than other concentrates. Live resin has a strong cannabis flavor that is similar in flavor to the original strain because of the terpenes and flavonoids that survive in the manufacture process. Live resin has a defining rich flavor profile every time.
Hemp Kicks Butt with Diamonds and Resin — Safety and Legal Status
Some believe that concentrates vaped with a disposable or a vape pen are safer than smoking raw hemp flower. That may be a personal opinion, particularly for those with more sensitive respiratory systems. Also when you vape a concentrate, it does not have to go through the combustion process like what happens when you smoke it. There could be poisonous chemicals which are more harmful to your respiratory system. With concentrates, the process includes the use of solvents and some particles of the solvent may be left behind.
That said, if the concentrates, whether the THCA diamonds for the live resin, are properly made, with the solvent being properly purged out, they should be perfectly safe. Just remember that these products can be extremely potent, and high levels of THC can at times cause mild paranoia or anxiety. Therefore, it’s always best to start slow.
The legality of these two products depends on whether they are manufactured properly. The other aspects of the legality rests in the wording of the 2018 Farm Bill. In other words, the only limiting factor is whether there is only 0.3% Delta 9 THC in the final product. Whether or not live resin and THCA diamonds are legal depends on how they are made.
