For the most part, users of Cannabis know how to make Rosin. They experiment with the home extraction process of using a hair straightener, or those that already have a Heat press machine are far above the newcomers to making the product. Rosin is the extract from Cannabis buds or bubble hash without using harmful solvents or chemicals like butane to produce the concentrate. It is easy to make, and even if you are not a Do It Yourself person, you can always buy Rosin from Cannabis dispensaries within your location.
How To Make Cannabis Rosin And How To Use Cannabis Rosin
The chemical extraction process is for people producing huge quantities from large amounts of material. When done carefully, your yield can be phenomenal, while an inexperienced person can be harmed by dangerous explosions using the wrong equipment or methods. So, don’t try this at home. Leave the processing to the experts.
Things You Will Need to make Marijuana Rosin
- Hair Straightener with a wide surface area
- Unbleached Parchment paper
- Cannabis material- buds, flowers, bubble hash
- Dabbing tool/ metal scraper for Rosin collection
- Storage container- preferably made of silicone
- Protective heat-resistant gloves
- Rosin bag- optional- This is for pressing hash
Because heat is one of the operable processes to getting at the concentrate, the hair straightener you use should be able to produce temperatures of 100-250 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature gauge says Low, Medium, and High, don’t worry, you have to adjust the heat for the desired results.
The material you choose for pressing determines the quality and amount of Rosin in your yield, and less heat is the recommendation for extraction. However, if the buds are not of the best quality, you need more significant heat for extracting reasonably good quality products containing substantial percentages of terpenes and cannabinoids.
Making Cannabis Rosin
- Preheat your hair straightener until it reaches the desired temperature. While waiting for the heat to develop, place a small number of buds onto the parchment paper, folding them in half. You can create a funnel spout for guiding the Rosin when it starts extraction into the storage container.
- Place the parchment paper containing the material onto the hair straightener plate and squeeze. Remember to put on your heat-resistant gloves as they help to tolerate the heat and help with the pressure you must use for extracting the amber liquid from your Cannabis buds.
- Press the buds until you hear a sizzling sound emitting from the straightener; this should take no more than a few seconds. It is best to have the straightener on a flat surface for easy handling. Repeat this process until no more rosin comes out of the buds.
- Using the dabbing tool or metal scraper, scrape the Rosin into your storage container. The yield is relative to the number of buds you use. For example, if you press one gram of flowers of the highest quality, you will get 0.2 grams of Rosin.
- The process does take time and patience, but if you stick with it, your confidence will grow, and you can determine what to do on your future pressing expeditions.
Utilizing a Rosin Press for Extraction
A Rosin press can be for either personal uses or commercial production. It is much more efficient than a hair straightener, which does not mean you can only produce inferior Rosin if you only have a hair straightener. Far from the truth, with a good machine and using the process above, your Rosin experience can be just as productive.
Rosin Press
Some experts invest in a Rosin press for use at home, even for personal extraction of Cannabis concentrates. The beauty of a heating press is that you can achieve results quicker and press more materials in a shorter time. The cost of a Rosin press depends on your budget to spend. You can buy a press for $120 – $4,000 with all the bells and whistles to enhance your experience.
