This easy to follow guide reveals what rosin is, shows you how to make your own rosin, and even gives you a few ideas on how to use your rosin at home.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

What is rosin? How is rosin made?<\/b> Rosin is a cannabis extract, similar to other concentrates, like <\/span>shatter<\/span><\/a>, wax, and <\/span>oil<\/span><\/a>. However, unlike these other concentrates, rosin is extracted without the use of solvents like butane, hexane, and other potentially toxic chemicals, allowing for a safer, healthier marijuana extract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of solvents, rosin uses heat and pressure to squeeze the cannabis flower\u2019s golden, cannabinoid rich oil from the bud. This rosin oil can then be collected and used like any other <\/span>cannabis extract<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosin shatter tends to be the most expensive form of cannabis extract available. This is largely due to the fact that cannabis rosin is made with full buds, rather than the trim and shake that usually makes up the source material for solvent-extracted concentrates. Because rosin isn\u2019t made with solvents, it is a healthier option over extracts that use toxic chemicals, and since it is easy to make, you can create your own at home in just a few minutes with a makeshift rosin press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosin is also commonly found for sale in <\/span>marijuana dispensaries<\/span><\/a> where it can have a high price tag due to its purity, quality, and cost of making. Unlike other marijuana extracts, rosin is usually produced in small batches and uses full marijuana buds instead of low quality shake and other leftover cannabis plant material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/h2>\n

How to Make Rosin at Home<\/span><\/h2>\n

This cannabis concentrate is in high demand as consumers are beginning to recognize the benefits of rosin, mainly its improvements on health and flavor over other cannabis products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Large scale manufacturers are working to develop high capacity presses to keep up with demand and mass produce this top quality cannabis extract. However, the process itself is incredibly simple and can be done right at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

While creating marijuana extracts like shatter and wax can be dangerous to do outside a specially equipped lab due to the risk of explosion from the compressed, volatile gases commonly used for extraction, to create rosin oil you only apply heat and pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
