Top 5 Strains to Make Rosin with in 2020

Cannabis extracts were created in ancient times to facilitate the storage or transportation of buds for long periods of time or distances. The oldest and most well-known in the world is hashish: this extract is so old that you can even find mentions of it in the history of Middle Eastern countries since 900 AD. The world of marijuana extracts is growing day by day. Therefore, the interest of many people about this new way of consuming cannabis does too.

Recently, a new extraction method was created, and it consists of applying pressure and heat to the bud to provide us with something called rosin. It all started with a bud wrapped in baking paper, squeezed into a hair straightener. Today, hundreds of companies produce increasingly sophisticated presses and rosin bags (of utmost importance) where you have to put the buds in. These bags retain the vegetal part of the plant, its pistils and impurities so that you can obtain a clean and pure extract.

Now, I know you must be wondering: What is rosin? It’s nothing more than resin in its solidified state. The extracts obtained from it have the texture of waxes and even small agglutinated crystals with a color between yellowish and amber. The process of extraction involves separating as much vegetal parts as possible from the bud and making its active compounds available for use.

Regarding the obtaining process, it is convenient to experiment with different temperatures and pressing times of the buds, since the performance and quality of the final product can vary a lot. While some can give very little resin, others can give you a quantity of resin of more than 10% of the weight of the buds.

In order for you to get the best possible extract, you must carefully select a high quality press, a specific strain and the best rosin press bags possible. Luckily, we will be talking about the best 5 strains available to make rosin with today.
