Solventless hash is the creme de la creme of cannabis. So why is almost all of it pressed from THC-dominant flower? A case for balance, chemotype diversity and the products the industry keeps insisting nobody wants.
It’s smoooooooth.
That’s what I thought the first and only time I ever stumbled across a Type II concentrate.
Living in a van means stumbling through the most random of small towns, and when I was on my quest to visit every legal market in the Northeast, there was no dispensary too out of the way to visit. It was a gram of live rosin from a shop in a small town in coastal Maine. In 2023, many of those towns still had only medical dispensaries, so I took every chance I got to stock up. When I saw this little jar, I knew I had to have it. If I remember correctly, it cost me around $40.
I was excited to light it up. Smoking out the open door of a van with the bug screen down in summer in Maine is next level, and I knew I had stumbled onto something special in this live rosin. I’m an avowed blowtorch hater, so concentrates get packed snugly into the bowl of my bubbler. I love the way they add flavor and length to the water pipe experience.
The potency is often overwhelming for me, so concentrates are a special-occasion indulgence. But I smoked that Type II live rosin every day until it was gone.
This is my plea to the cannabis industry: give me Type II concentrates.
