What is “full spectrum” rosin?
"Full-spectrum" is a term that we use to refer to cannabis extraction methods that result in terpene, flavonoid, and cannabinoid profiles closer to the source plant than other methods. Full-spectrum extract gives you all the good flavor and effects of the strain without all the unwanted plant material. Because the extract contains a more complete set of the compounds found in cannabis, those who...
Where does flower get its flavor?
When we talk about what makes up cannabis, we hear a lot about terpenes and cannabioids, but we hear far less about flavonoids. Flavonoids are a type of phytonutrient (with "phyto-" meaning "plant"); and phytonutrients, which are found in virtually all plants, fruits, and vegetables that we consume, are partly responsible for a plant's colors, odors, flavors, and other plant properties such as...
What is CBG?
As cannabis plants grow, they produce cannabigerolic acid (which is known as CBGA). It's the precursor to the three main cannabinoid lines: THCA, CBDA, and CBCA. Then, when energy is added to CBGA through heating, it undergoes a chemical reaction called decarboxylation (you know... "decarbing") which drops the A from CBGA, converting it from cannabigerolic acid to cannabigerol. Over time, most...
What is cannabichromene (CBC)?
In 2021, most people have heard of THC and CBD — two of the most abundant and medically relevant cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. But how much do you know about CBC? Cannabichromene — AKA CBC — is another of the "big six" cannabinoids found in cannabis, made from the same "cannabinoid stem cell" as CBD and THC: cannabigerol (CBG). It's a compound that’s starting to become more popular as a...
