Because of the new ways to extract the resin, there are new ways for people to consume products. Cannabis legalization has helped too, and two of the more interesting products to come out of this are sun rocks and moon rocks. Debuting back in 2014, and maybe a little sooner, people like these for two reasons: it’s potent, and it looks pretty. But what are they? Let’s find out. 

Moon rocks 

This debuted a little bit earlier, from the cannabis community in 2010.  This is from a product that’s called caviar, which is basically a high-quality bud that’s dipped in BHO, and then, it’s left to sit out and dry, and the effects definitely added a new aroma and flavor, since it offered enhancement due to the oil in it. 

Moon rocks only became popular because of rappers Dr. Zodiak and Kurupt, who were infusing these buds to make Caviar, and were then coating this with a sift has or some kief, to create a result that looked beautiful and tasted super powerful. This then became moon rocks, and they were soon the eye of the cannabis community, and a lot of people like these because they have a super potency, getting up to 80% THC in some cases. 

What about Sun Rocks 

Sun rocks are basically refined moon rocks, and basically, they’re super strong. More and more dispensaries have started to offer this because a lot of people like this. However, the products  do ultimate depend on what kind of quality you’re getting the cannabis from, and of course, the right kind of oil and the kief that you choose to use. 

The cool thing with this though, is that it does have a variety of different tastes, and even effects, which can be gotten from this alone. 

How to Make These 

A big thing about this is that it only involves a couple of small changes to the parameters to make something super potent. The concentrate feels like cookies, but it’s got craters that kind of look like space soil.  In some cases, the resin gets extracted through butane, and is a mixture of the bud itself, the BHO, and the top such as kief.  Some people like to use OG Kush or GSC for great results, but pretty much, anything with compact buds is fair game. 

They also are created with a rosin hash, so you will typically use BHO for this, but you can replace this with rosin, or other extractions that use CO2, the main concern being that you want to have something with a liquid texture to help with the oil infusion to the bud itself. 

The steps to make this are as follows: 

1. Get a compact bud so it doesn’t break down 
2. Use a dabbing tool to put oil over this. You can also warm this up to make this faster 
3. Once it’s fully covered in oil, put it in a bowl or plate that has the resin and coat it fully 
4. You can repeat this to get the results 
5. Let it sit for a day or a few hours, and then, you can smoke it 

You may wonder the best way to smoke this. Most people like to use a bong to do this, but also glass pipes, water pipes, or bubblers are also great ways to smoke it, since it’s very easy to clean once you’re finished smoking this. 

Be mindful though that these are super powerful, so don’t try to smoke too much.  You don’t want to roll lines with it.
