Everything to Know About CBD Resin
What is CBD resin?
CBD resin is one of the most popular cannabidiol-derived products among consumers. It is a hemp concentrate that provides immediate relaxation due to its high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.
It can have different appearances and textures depending on the variety of hemp from which it is made. It can be golden or brownish, and its texture can be sticky or sandy.
How to make CBD resin?
CBD resin is obtained by separating cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. Once this extraction is done, you get CBD pollen, also known as Skuff or Kief. This pollen becomes a resin or hash after being mechanically compressed either hot or cold.
This compression allows for the fusion of trichomes (the hair-like structures present on the flowers and leaves of hemp containing most of the cannabinoids and terpenes) to obtain this resinous texture with intense effects and flavors.
CBD pollen and resin are very similar in terms of production, effects, and flavors. The only difference is the texture, with CBD pollen being more crumbly than resin.
What are the effects of CBD resin?
The potential benefits of CBD hashish are similar to those of other CBD-based products. CBD acts on the brain’s endocannabinoid system, which can have several health advantages.
Although the effects may vary depending on individual sensitivity and dosage, the potential benefits of CBD include: anti-inflammatory effects that can help alleviate inflammatory pain, anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), anti-stress, antioxidant, and anti-arthritic properties. CBD resin can also relieve nausea and vomiting. CBD, the molecule present in CBD hashish, is a psychoactive compound but is not a psychoactive molecule like THC. This means that CBD is a molecule that does not have addictive effects or cognitive impairments like cannabis.
