Rosin is a recently developed cannabis concentrate . It is created through a process of controlled low heat and extreme pressure . This heat and pressure , in combination , allow the trichomes to flow away from the plant material as a liquid resin , containing all the key terpenes and cannabinoids , resulting in a full-spectrum concentrate . Once separated from the plant material and cooled , the fresh rosin has a buttery texture , and an almost complete terpene profile . It can be dabbed , vaped , smoked , or ingested . As an extract , rosin is physically separated from the cannabis plant material and is therefore hydrocarbon-free , and a completely solventless process .
Rosin can be pressed from dried , cured flower , from various forms of hash such as kief , dry sift , or bubble hash , and even from flash frozen fresh cannabis , producing a top-tier product called live rosin . Each of these forms of rosin has subtle differences owing to the source materials .
