What is CBD resin?
Extracted directly from the trichomes, these small resinous glands of the hemp plant, the resin concentrates all the good active ingredients of legal cannabis, including CBD but also CBG, CBN and CBG , all known for their soothing, pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
THC, the main molecule responsible for the intoxicating and psychotropic effect of hemp, is being eliminated to remain legal. The CBD resins that we offer to you on our online store are rigorously tested in a French laboratory to guarantee compliance with the maximum THC level authorized by law, namely less than 0.3%.
Your cognitive abilities and your discernment are therefore not altered, and your body will be able to regain color!
How is CBD resin made?
CBD resin is made from the trichomes of hemp plants. These little appendages look like little crystals or frost on the flowers and upper leaves of the plant. They are real cannabinoid and terpene factories.
The process begins with the selection of hemp varieties high in CBD and low in THC, in accordance with regulations. The trichomes are then separated from the rest of the plant, whether by dry sieving, ice water or supercritical CO2.
The collected material is then purified to remove remaining plant residues and further concentrate cannabinoids and terpenes. Finally, the resin can be formulated in different ways: kept as is for use as is, or incorporated into products like CBD-infused oils, creams or foods.
How to consume CBD resin?
Versatile, CBD resin can be consumed in different ways depending on your preferences.
-
Vaporization of CBD resin
Vaporization heats the resin without burning it to release its active compounds in the form of vapor. The soothing effects are felt quickly.
-
Infusion of CBD resin
You can also incorporate the resin into hot drinks, including herbal teas, tea or coffee, for slower but more consistent absorption. This method, however, requires a fatty substance (such as whole milk or oil) to dissolve the cannabinoids, which are fat-soluble molecules.
-
Inhaling CBD resin
The resin can be smoked, often mixed with tobacco. 321CBD does not recommend this mode of consumption given the obvious health risks due to combustion.
-
Dabbing CBD resin
Dabbing involves heating a small amount of resin on a very hot surface and inhaling the vapor produced. This method requires special equipment but delivers the effects of CBD very quickly.
-
Ingestion of CBD resin
CBD resin can be incorporated into foods or consumed directly. This route of administration has the advantage of prolonging the effects of CBD, even if absorption is slower.
-
Topical application
Mixed with creams or oils, the resin can be applied directly to the skin for a localized effect, particularly in cases of muscle or joint pain or in cases of inflammatory skin problems.
-
Sublingual consumption of CBD resin
Placed under the tongue, the resin dissolves and quickly penetrates the bloodstream via the mucous membranes. This method allows rapid action of CBD without going through the digestive system.
