Some products are sold in a form that “mimics” illegal cannabis (flowers, hashish, seed oils, moon rock) rich in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). But others are more original (CBD balm, hemp-scented candles, capsules to ingest, CBD E-liquid for electronic cigarettes) and specific to the heterogeneity of CBD users. In fact, the latter are mainly looking for the relaxing effects of CBD. Imitation drug use targets a more specific audience. In fact, it is rare for an ex-marijuana smoker to purchase CBD candles to initiate cannabis withdrawal.
Cannabis flowers (weed, weed heads, grass, marijuana, ganja and bud) hashish (shit, chichon, hash, pollen, cannabis resin) and oil are quite popular terms that differentiate the ways of consuming hemp with or without THC. But in recent years a new addition to the CBD (cannabidiol) market has appeared: Moon Rocks For Sale.
The Moon Rock Story
Moonrock appeared in the United States around 2014 and is considered the strongest form of cannabis in the world.
The strongest in the world It is made up of: of a top quality cannabis flower, soaked in grass oil and then rolled in Kief or dried hashish, like breadcrumbs.
This popular form of cannabis in hip hop circles was popularized as early as 2015, when American rapper Kurupt released his own version:
Kurupt’s Moonrock, from a variety of Girl Scout Cookies, dipped in weed oil and dusted with Sicdust.
Moon rock gets its name from its similar appearance to a moonstone.
Some definitions and information
Kief and hashish: these forms of cannabis only differ in the form of pressing. Its composition and content of cannabinoids (CBD and THC in particular), terpenes and flavonoids are the same from one form to another. In fact, these factors only depend on the variety of herb used. Kief and hashish (shit, chichon, Moroccan, hash, Nepalese, pollen, Afghan,) are obtained from carefully sifted flowers of the herb. This sifting allows the resin (trichomes) to be separated from the rest of the plant. The resulting greenish-yellow powder is pressed manually (kif) or hydraulically (hashish). In the latter case, the resulting dough is harder, more compact and darker than with a manual press.
Silk powder: name given to the greenish-yellow powder obtained after sifting the
Sifted cannabis flowers
Trichomes: Trichomes are the hairs on the surface of a plant organ. Its concentration varies according to the plants and organs in question. They can have different functions, such as increasing the absorption surface of the roots, limiting evapotranspiration, retaining rainwater and protecting the plant. In cannabis, they are the site of synthesis of the active ingredients (cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids). Therefore, its level of maturation will have a considerable effect on the organoleptic qualities (taste and smell imparted by terpenes) and the level of cannabinoids (CBD and THC in particular) of the herb.
Sativa buds: Sativa buds are usually long and airy. They extend along the entire branch.
Indica buds: Indica buds are dense. They form in clusters at the internodes of the branches.
Hybrid: a cross between different varieties of marijuana.
