Are Live Resin Gummies Stronger?

Splash Gummies by Fresh Coast

While most gummies are made with only distillate, we add a splash of the 100% Liquid Live Resin from our cartridges and add them to gummies! These strain-specific gummies provide a unique taste and effect from each unique strain they’re made from.

The question we often get is: Are live resin gummies more potent than regular gummies? To understand the strength of live resin gummies, let’s discuss the difference between live resin and distillate:

  • Live Resin:
    Live resin is made from fresh, flash-frozen cannabis plants, which helps preserve a greater spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes. This method maintains the flavor profile and provides an 'entourage effect' due to the presence of various cannabinoids and terpenes working in synergy.

  • Distillate:
    In contrast, distillate is a highly refined oil containing primarily THC. The distillation process typically removes most other compounds, including terpenes, resulting in a product with high THC concentration but less complexity in terms of cannabinoids and terpenes profiles.

Potency Comparison

When discussing potency, it’s not just about the THC level, but also the overall effect profile. Studies on the entourage effect suggest that the presence of multiple cannabinoids and terpenes can enhance the overall cannabis experience. This suggests that while live resin and distillate gummies may have similar THC levels, the presence of other compounds in live resin could lead to a perception of greater potency or a different experience.

A recent study from University of Arizona suggests that cannabis terpenes selectively enhance cannabinoid activity.

Discussions on Reddit provide insights into user experiences. Threads on subreddits like r/trees and r/edibles reveal a mix of opinions. Users report that live resin gummies offer a more complex and satisfying high, attributing this to the broader cannabinoid and terpene profile.

In conclusion - are live resin gummies stronger? While the THC content might be similar to distillate gummies, the broader spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes in live resin produces a more potent high. However, individual experiences vary, and what might feel stronger or more enjoyable to one person could be different for another.
