Concentrates To Check Out Today
Papaya Live Rosin / West Coast Cure – California
West Coast Cure is an absolute legend in the California cannabis scene. Their Papaya strain was first bred by Nirvana seeds and is a cross of Corral and Ice. In this particular live rosin, the terp notes really shine through with an almost mango / kiwi aftertaste. Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake/sacrilege of hot dabbing this. Low and slow to really capture the flavor profile.
MAC1 Live Rosin / Emerald Cup Supply Co. – California
Northern Californian consumer event, The Emerald Cup, has integrity to the max. Despite having The Emerald Cup Supply Co, they won’t enter their own products in their competition out of fairness for all, and with this kind of quality it’s easy to see why as they would likely sweep their own competition. While MAC1 is a legendary strain made by crossing Alien Cookies F2 with Miracle 15, The Emerald Cup Supply Co took it to a whole other level with this live rosin.
Biskante Live Rosin / Kayla x Alien Labs – California
Kalya Extracts has done some of the biggest collaborations in concentrates. Their Landhammer Farms collab on Patty’s Cake took 1st in the solventless rosin category at the 2021 Emerald Cup (make sure to check that out if you can find it, keyword if), and their Atomic Apple collab with Lemonnade was incredible. This 710, we invite you to take a look at their Alien Labs collaboration on this Biskante Live Rosin. Just an full flavor out of this world profile that is sure to leave a smile on your face.
DOZIZOZ #3 Live Rosin Badder / Papa and Barkley – California
Papa and Barkley is one of those legendary companies that really cares about the product they put out and it shows. Their ReLeaf Balm is a personal favorite of ours and has been for years and years. Since their original ReLeaf Balm, they have expanded their product line greatly including into edibles and concentrates. Coming from their Papa’s Select line, this DOZIZOZ #3 Live Rosin Badder is quickly becoming a go-to as well. Make sure to check it out.
Hologram 13 Live Rosin / Lazercat – Colorado
In the Colorado market, there are no shortage of players in the concentrates space. Competition is stiff and sometimes it’s hard to rise above the rest. Well, at 10,000 feet for their cultivation and extraction, Lazercat has done that and more with some of their creations. In particular, their Hologram 13 Live Rosin is absolutely phenomenal.
Make sure if you are in the Colorado market to check them out and pick some up, if it’s not already all spoken for.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH: Live Resin Badder / 22Red – Nevada
Los Angeles based 22Red is launching their inaugural push into the dab-able market in the Silver State with a Live Resin Badder. Originally launched in 2018 by System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadijan, 22Red has since expanded into Nevada with the full line and Arizona with their 8ths and pre-roll options. We expect his live resin badder to do well in the Las Vegas market and expand into 22Red’s home state of California.
Live Resin Lemon Meringue – Platinum / Oklahoma & California
Father and son team George and Cody Sadler started Platinum as a small business house brand back during the 215 era while Cody was still in college. Since then, The House of Platinum has expanded rapidly into just about every available market they can and are absolutely crushing it, especially in their power categories of edibles and vapes. Their Lemon Meringue Live Resin vape tastes legitimately just like it sounds. Made from a sweet and zestful cross of Lemon Skunk and Cookies and Cream, this pungent strain emits a variety of aromas including citrus, diesel, and nuttiness.
Make sure to check out this particular flavor in the California and Oklahoma markets.
NON-PROFIT: Live Resin Sundae Driver – Helmand Valley Growers Collective
Helmand Valley Growers Collective was founded by United States Special Operations Veterans to support medical cannabis research for veterans. 100% of all profits generated by HVGC goes directly to support that cause.
The founders of HVGC are also the founders of the Battle Brothers Foundation, a 503c Non-Profit dedicated to helping veterans transition back into civilian life via wellbeing, medical assistance for both physical and mental trauma, and economic assistance by helping train veterans for the civilian workforce based on their specific skillsets. All around not only is their product quality, it supports an amazing cause.
Make sure to check out their Sundae Driver Live Resin carts if you are in the California region and help a great cause while carrying a great product.
Skywalker OG Pod – STIIIZY / Arizona, California, Michigan
STIIIZY started out as a simple vape company during the 215 era in California and has since exploded into a global lifestyle brand under Shryne Group complete with flower, vape pens, concentrates, apparel, retail stores, and more. Their core product, the STIIIZY pod, is still an extremely popular go-to for many vape enthusiasts. In-particular, their Skywalker OG is a staple product within a staple brand.
Available in multiple markets, we expect to see STIIIZY and Shryne Group continue to expand in the years to come.
RUNTZ HTFSE – Extractioneering / Oregon
When you have a founder and Chief Science Officer that is a Ph.D. holding plant molecular physiologist, you are in for some absolutely incredible products. Dr. Hayden and his team at Extractioneering in Oregon have consistently put out some of the best tasting products I’ve had in the Oregon marketplace, and wish they would expand into new markets so the rest of the country can also enjoy their talents.
In particular their RUNTZ in the HTSFE (“High Terpene Full Spectrum Extract”) line has some of the most flavorful and potent hits I’ve ever had from the strain by any manufacturer extracting using that strain. Make sure to check them out and thank us once you have.
And that will do it for us for 7/10! Make sure to stay tuned as we bring you the latest and greatest from around the industry.
