Of all the different ways you can enjoy cannabis, nothing beats the convenience and safety of gummies. You aren’t introducing any sort of smoke or vapor into your lungs - which contrary to what a lot of stoners think, can cause quite an array of problems.
Plus, they’re great for taking on the go so you can get your fix no matter where life takes you. Dosing is consistent and effortless. However, not all weed gummies are created equal. While our live rosin gummies are a smash hit, you can’t beat live resin gummies.
So, what are live resin gummies? What is it about this extraction and infusion method that sets it apart from the rest? This beginner’s guide will answer any questions that might be on your mind. Learn more below, including why Evn is your one-stop shop for live resin gummies online!
What is Live Resin?
Before we narrow our focus to gummies in particular, let’s take a step back. What is live resin? This is a unique type of cannabis concentrate that captures the essence of the plant in its freshest form.
Real quick - if you’re not familiar with what a concentrate is, just know this: it packs a super potent punch. It’s like if you were to take all of the things that make cannabis great (cannabinoids, terpenes, etc.) and extract them from the plant, eliminating all the plant matter.
Now, back to the topic at hand. What is live resin? While most concentrates are made using dried and cured cannabis, this form is extracted from plants that are flash-frozen immediately after harvest. It involves the use of solvents like butane or propane to extract all compounds from the plant.
There are a few reasons this matters. Most notably, the process preserves the plant's full range of cannabinoids and terpenes for the full effect in flavor, aroma, and overall potency. Those who use live resin choose it because it’s the closest experience to fresh flower you can get.
The term “live” comes from the process itself. The plant is frozen while it's still alive, meaning it hasn't undergone the traditional drying and curing process.
While drying and curing are necessary to enjoy the flower itself, it’s a process that compromises some of the plant’s natural compounds. We’ll talk more about what this means for you, the user, in a moment.
What Are Live Resin Gummies?
Now, what are live resin gummies? You can probably put two and two together to infer that these are a type of edible infused with live resin extract specifically.
Traditional gummies are most commonly crafted from THC distillate or isolate, which gets the job done, but pales in comparison to the more natural, comprehensive experience of live resin.
This means you’re not just getting THC, but everything the cannabis plant has to offer - a world of other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and much, much more. In turn, you’ll enjoy a more pronounced, nuanced, and potent high.
Differences From Live Rosin, Distillate, and Other Styles
To fully appreciate what makes live resin so special you need an understanding of the alternative extracts gummies are made from. Perhaps the most common comparison is live resin vs live rosin.
It’s easy to get confused - one letter is all that separates these two concentrates. They both preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes from fresh-frozen cannabis plants, too. Yet, there is a world of difference between them.
While live resin involves the use of solvents, live rosin is considered a solventless extraction method. Instead, heat and pressure are used to quite literally squeeze the good stuff out of the cannabis.
In this sense, live rosin is widely considered to be a cleaner method than live resin. The issue is cost. Live rosin yields very little concentrate, making these gummies far more expensive. It also results in lower potency, making it even less accessible.
Then, there’s distillate - which is unfortunately the most common concentrate used for gummies. We say unfortunately because you’re doing yourself a disservice by consuming these.
We consider it to be like the fast food of THC gummies. It’s a concentrate that is stripped down, refined, and to the point. No frills, nothing special. Sure, you’re getting THC or CBD so you’ll feel something - but that’s it.
You’re not getting the full spectrum of benefits like you would with live resin, or even live rosin for that matter. It lacks the entourage effect, which is how cannabis is meant to be enjoyed.
How Strong Are These Types of Gummies?
Let’s get down to brass tacks - how high are live resin gummies going to get you? That’s probably what the vast majority of people are interested in, at least. It all depends.
For example, our live resin gummies contain 10mg of THC, which is a fairly potent service for the average person. For newcomers, even just 5mg will get the job done.
But cannabinoid concentration is just one piece of the puzzle. Think back to the entourage effect we referenced a few times so far. With live resin gummies, you’re getting so much more than just THC and CBD.
The full spectrum concentrate these gummies are made from tends to make them hit quite a bit harder than those made from distillate. The effects might last longer as well.
So, we recommend you start low and slow with even as little as 2.5mg if you’ve never tried cannabis gummies before. Trust us, you’d rather feel nothing and ramp up the dose than next time than overdo it and have a negative first experience.
Our golden rule: you can always eat more if you feel nothing, but you can never go back in time and eat less if you start to feel uncomfortable or paranoid!
Common Cannabinoids in Live Resin Gummies
We keep talking about THC, but this is just one of hundreds of documented cannabinoids. Again, this is part of what makes live resin gummies so special. You’re getting the full experience with a world of other cannabinoids, including but not limited to:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): The star of the show and what most people associate with the “high” of cannabis. It generates the euphoric and psychoactive effects this plant is known for. Make no mistake, though - it has healing potential as well!
- CBD (Cannabidiol): Known as the “healing” cannabinoid, although all cannabinoids have some level of therapeutic potential. CBD has calming and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help mellow out the high from THC too, reducing the anxiety or paranoia some users may feel.
- CBG (Cannabigerol): Referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids.” A lesser-known but impressive cannabinoid that’s thought to enhance focus and reduce inflammation, making it a welcome addition to the entourage effect in live resin gummies.
- CBN (Cannabinol): Found in older cannabis plants and known for its sedative properties. It has relaxing effects that will serve you well for evening use or helping with sleep.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight terpenes here as well. Although they’re not cannabinoids, they’re perhaps just as important for the unique effects they bring to the table.
Compounds like myrcene (calming, sedative), limonene (uplifting, mood-enhancing), and caryophyllene (pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory) add layers to the effects and enhance the high in ways you wouldn’t experience with THC alone.
Potential Live Resin Gummy Benefits
Throughout this beginner’s guide so far we’ve highlighted a number of reasons to love live resin gummies. But let’s take a closer look at all the potential benefits they have to offer, from purity and convenience to tangible health benefits.
Cannabis as it Was Intended
As we’ve said already, you’re getting the full cannabis experience as nature intended it. The full-spectrum concentrate allows you to enjoy true-to-strain effects where THC, CBD, other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids all work in synergy.
Whether you're using them recreationally or medicinally, live resin gummies deliver a richer, more nuanced experience. They’re far superior to typical gummies made from distillate.
Better Taste
Let’s be honest - some cannabis edibles can taste a little... artificial. Not live resin gummies. Instead, you get a more authentic, cannabis-forward flavor since live resin captures the plant’s natural terpene profile.
Those who appreciate the full sensory profile of cannabis point to this is a major selling point. Most gummies, like ours here at Evn, are complemented with fruit oils for flavor for a delicious taste that will have you coming back for more.
Potent Effects With Less THC
Even at lower THC levels, the high can feel more pronounced, which again goes back to the entourage effect we keep harping on. This is a huge advantage for those who want a potent effect but don’t want to consume large doses of THC.
Potential Therapeutic Uses
Unfortunately, solid research on the cannabis plant’s full healing potential is still needed. The passing of the 2018 Farm Bill was a great step in the right direction because up until that point, it was hard to conduct studies given the legal status of cannabis.
That being said, we do know that live resin gummies have great potential to offer therapeutic benefits in a number of ways. These effects are more pronounced than in other gummies since you’re getting all the beneficial compounds.
For example, those dealing with pain, inflammation, anxiety, or insomnia might find live resin gummies more effective than standard THC gummies. The only way to know for sure, though, is to try them yourself and see firsthand what they can do for you!
Are Live Resin Gummies Safer or Better Than Other Options?
Safety is always the top priority when it comes to cannabis. There’s reason to wonder just how safe live resin gummies are since they use solvents in the process - but the good news is you have nothing to worry about when you shop with a trusted brand like Evn.
We take steps to ensure there are no residual solvents left behind, and you don’t have to take our word for it. Lab testing ensures 100% purity so you can enjoy peace of mind.
There are fewer additives used in these types of gummies, too, since the goal is to preserve the natural purity of the cannabis plant. That means fewer flavorings, sweeteners, or fillers. The end result is a cleaner gummy.
The Cost Conversation: Why Are They So Expensive?
You might get caught off guard when you see the cost of live resin gummies compared to their traditional counterparts. Why are they so expensive? Simply put, you get what you pay for.
We’ve talked extensively about the benefits of live resin gummies throughout this guide. A lot goes into bringing those benefits to your doorstep in the form of a tasty, convenient gummy - from strict farming standards to careful extraction and meticulous infusion.
While you might find run-of-the-mill gummies for as low as $20, our premium products here at Evn cost $35. This begs the question, are they worth the price? Absolutely - at least, to those who aren’t willing to settle for anything less than the best.
For what it’s worth, these are actually more affordable than other styles, like our live rosin gummies which are $45 per package.
The key takeaway is that you should never cut corners or compromise on quality when it comes to your health and wellness.
Can I Legally Buy These Gummies Online?
All of this sounds great, and you’re likely starting to see why live resin gummies are widely considered the pinnacle of cannabis edibles. Can you really buy legal weed gummies online, though? It sounds too good to be true, but it’s legit!
This goes back to the passing of the Farm Bill in 2018, which removed hemp from the list of controlled substances. Now, as long as the THC in these gummies is derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% by dry weight, it’s entirely legal.
Ours pass this test with flying colors, so you don’t have to worry about staying on the right side of the law! These are legal across all 50 states as long as you’re 21 or older. So, what are you waiting for?
