Squish Cold Pressed Rosin – Black Widow

This strain lives up to its perilous name, delivering wickedly potent THC levels that top 24% in some tests. That puts Black Widow on a very short list of the strongest marijuana strains of all time. With sativa-dominant genes (sativa/indica ratio of at least 30:70), this strain provides an exceptional head high with remarkably intense euphoria, powerful happiness, deep relaxation, and a major case of the munchies. Black Widow is only recommended for patients who have been toking for a while, as its intensity can overwhelm novice users and potentially trigger panic attacks. But for those who can tolerate the venom, this strain is good for depression, physical pain, muscle spasms, headaches, and everyday stress. It’s also perfect for inducing hunger in patients with wasting or eating disorders. Black Widow, surprisingly enough, isn’t a descendant of the more famous White Widow; rather, they’re siblings or cousins, descending from the same unknown Brazilian sativa and an indica from South India. Anticipate dry mouth and bloodshot eyes, while dizziness, headaches, and paranoia are less likely side effects. Black Widow sells well almost everywhere, but it’s most popular on the legal markets in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington State, and Michigan.

The Benefits of Solventless Extractions

Live rosin is becoming an increasingly popular concentrate and one that many dispensaries are beginning to feature on their shelves. It isn’t the least expensive option for those seeking cannabis concentrate options, but the solventless process with which live rosin is made and the unparalleled quality end result easily justifies its higher price point. If you’re interested in experiencing the purest flavors that are extracted from some of the highest quality cannabis available, solventless hash oil may be the cannabis concentrate product to add to your shopping list. Continue reading to learn more about live rosin and the benefits of solventless extractions.

What is Live Rosin?

Live rosin is a solventless hash oil concentrate that is made in a completely different process than traditional butane hash oils. When cannabis products are frozen after harvest they are considered to be “live”, however, live rosin is in a league of its own.

Live Rosin is made by taking fresh frozen cannabis and agitating it in an ice water bath. The trichome heads are then collected in a series of micron screen bags, separated, and put through a freezing and drying process. The end product of this process is called bubble hash. The Bubble Hash is then pressed with minimal heat and pressure through another filter bag to make the terpene and cannabinoid-rich live rosin. The purity of this process is truly what separates live rosin from other concentrate types, and the end result clearly highlights the benefits of solventless extractions compared to traditional butane extraction methods.

Benefits

• No solvents. Live rosin doesn’t contain any of the solvents used in BHO products. It is presented in its completely natural form.
• Natural properties. The initial freezing and process of pressing live rosin protects the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes without any damage.
• Unaltered. Live rosin is the closest representation of the plant in cannabis concentrate form that is available on the market today.
• Medical value. Due to the natural method of production, the medicinal quality of live rosin is higher than other forms of cannabis concentrates.
• Artisanal craftsmanship. Live rosin isn’t mass-produced – it is handcrafted by passionate artisans who respect the process and focus on quality over quantity.
• Easier dabbing. Live rosin has a lower melting point which makes it an ideal choice for dabbing.
