ROSIN HASH

ROSIN HASH

• Resin extracted without a solvent
• Made using hair straighteners or a purpose-built machine
• Separates resin from the flowers
• Watch that high temperatures don’t vaporize the compounds

Rosin hash is fast becoming another favorite. With rosin, the resin is extracted from the raw flowers directly. It’s said to produce a product very similar to Butane Hash Oil, but without the use of the controversial butane.

To make rosin hash, you’ll need a hair straightener and parchment paper. Fold the bud in parchment paper, and turn on the hair straightener. When the straightener reaches around 160ºC, place the parchment-wrapped bud inside and squeeze. You’ll want to wear oven mitts or use a towel to protect your hands. After a few seconds, release the straightener and open the parchment paper. Keep in mind: higher temperatures and more pressure will vaporize terpenes and cannabinoids, thereby wasting them, but will produce higher yields. Unwrap the parchment paper, and you’ll find the inside lined with sticky drops of amber-coloured rosin hash. If you’re having a hard time separating it from the parchment paper, place the paper in the freezer for a few hours and it’ll come right off. You can use the remaining bud to make cannabutter.
