If you’re wondering if moon rocks and hash are the same, you’ll find the answer in this article.

The days when cannabis was just a plant with two varieties and a little crowd backing it up are long gone.

With the discovery of cannabis's positive effects, a subsequent increase in users, and of course, demand, we’ve witnessed the advent of a new cannabis era, where there is something for anyone.

And I mean anyone.

From different plant strains to a variety of rolling paper flavors, it’s almost as if you can imagine it, you can find it somewhere.

Today we want to talk about a cannabis derivative that has become a premium experience:

Moon rocks. And its differences and similarities with a relative: hash.

What are moon rocks?

Although moon rocks are not new, many people are not even aware of their existence, while others simply can’t imagine their lives without them anymore.

Moon rocks are a premium cannabis product that offers a heightened psychoactive experience for real weed lovers. It’s like going to a Michelin star restaurant to enjoy a gourmet dish.

Born in 2015 within the hip-hop scene, moon rocks are a combination of different cannabis derivatives to achieve a perfect match of textures, flavors, smells, and sensations.

It all starts with marijuana buds. These flowers, with up to 30% THC, are dipped in up to 50% THC hash oil until they’re fully covered. Then, they’re deliciously breaded in kief that… yup, you guessed right, has a lot of THC as well.

In case you need some definitions, let me clear the air for you:

• Buds: The dried, curated, and pressed cannabis flowers.
• Hash oil: The extraction of concentrated oil from hasheesh and/or cannabis plants.
• Kief: The “powder” or “dust” produced by the trichomes and resin in a cannabis plant.

These cannabis jewels can make you feel like walking on the moon. Their potency is such that you may need only one puff to be high for a very long time.

Although moon rocks were made with specific cannabis strains in the beginning, any variety of good-quality cannabis suffices. This means you can “cook” your own moon rocks at home, but it also means there are many stinky copies sold every day through shady Craig's lists ads and other publications.

Moon rocks must be prepared by yourself at home or purchased only in legal dispensaries to assure top quality and hygienic manufacturing. Since you can't open moon rocks until after you bought them, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The cannabis industry has always taken a step further when it comes to creating new options for its growing audience. Today, you can find non-THC moon rocks that don’t make you high and are packed with a very high CBD content to enhance and boost this cannabinoid effect.

How to use moon rocks?

Moon rocks are like cute and green nuggets of glory. They’re just as delicious and enjoyable. And they can be just as messy, too.

Since moon rocks are sticky flowers dipped in sticky oil and then covered in sticky pollen, you can only imagine how easy it can be to get all your fingers filled with this gooey substance.

And although you may feel tempted to lick your fingers just as you do when grinding your weed buds, in this case, is a bad idea. The THC content in moon rocks can range from 50% to 90%, so ingesting moon rocks could send you on a really bad trip.

So, to experience a good moment with moon rocks follow these tips:

• Use sharp scissors or a knife to cut your moon rocks. A grinder will make a lot of the kief cover adhere to the sides, and sure you can take it out later but then, what’s the point?
• Cut your moon rocks into little pieces. Cut only the pieces you’ll use. Store the remaining moonies in a dry and cool place to avoid melting or overdrying.
• Use a bong, a water pipe, or any other glass pipe. Since is a gooey and sticky kind of flower, you can expect your moon rocks to release a lot of resin. Glass pipes are easier to clean.
• Mix your moon rocks with regular dry buds to keep them lighted on. Due to moon rocks' viscosity, it's normal to experience a lack of combustion. Avoid it by mixing your rocks with dry flowers. It's also the moment to use your spare, low THC leaves.
• Don’t even think about rolling up a joint using moon rocks. It's too expensive, your joint will light off a million times, and you will pass out after three puffs or less. Instead, sprinkle your joint with little moon rock pieces, sit down, relax, and enjoy the high of your life.

How does the moonrocks-high feel?

As we said before, moon rocks have up to 90% THC, which means a duper high. And although this is a very rare percentage, most moon rocks have around 50% THC, which is still a very high THC percentage compared with your regular cannabis.

This means you need just a little piece of moon rocks to get really high that lasts for hours. People who have smoked moon rocks reported experiencing an intense high that makes them feel happy and unwind.

For some other people, smoking moon rocks can make them feel a deep connection with Mother Earth and the Universe, and it’s easy to understand why.

The intense high experienced with moon rocks can bring a lot of joy when people notice that they’re getting these sensations and feelings from substances that come entirely from nature instead of from a laboratory or a fabric.

Other moon rockers simply let go and enter into a deeply relaxing state of mind that allows them to unwind, rest and recharge before going back out to the battlefield that is life.

Regardless of the type of high people experience when smoking moon rocks, most people agree on feeling a whole-body high sensation, from head to toe, of wellness, positivity, and coolness.

But handle your moon rocks with care. Evidently, when smoking moon rocks you want to experience an over-the-top high and a time to remember (even if all you can remember is that day you smoked moon rocks and you forgot everything else).

Moon rocks are really strong. And I mean really strong. Smoking too much of it can make feel like you climbed a hill that now you can’t climb down. It can make you feel dumb in some of your limbs, or all of them. It can make you take a nap that lasts 18 hours.

So it is a good idea that when smoking moon rocks you:

• Make sure you have nothing else to do for the rest of the day
• Eat before starting to smoke
• Find the right place to enjoy your high
• Keep yourself hydrated to avoid a whitey
• Leave some food cooked for later, including sweets in case you need to lower your high
• Make sure to light off any candle or incense stick you may have used (in case you fall asleep)
• Put all the things you'll need near where you’ll spend your moon rock smoking session (cellphone, liquids, food, the remote…). Believe me, you won’t wanna get up from there unless it's 1000% indispensable
• Take short hits and let them sink in before taking the next one. This way you won’t end up passed out on the carpet

What is hash?

Some cannabis premium products combine different cannabis-based products to create unique combinations of flavors and effects.

But there are also premium cannabis products made only from Mary’s natural attributes.

This is the case of hash. Also called hasheesh, wax, or resin, hash is a natural cannabis sub-product.

Hash is made by turning the kief obtained from cannabis trichomes and resin into a dark paste/dough or brick. You can smoke it, you can eat it, you can vape it.

Although hash doesn’t need any ingredients to be made apart from the cannabis plant, it does require a manufacturing process.

Hash is made with high-quality kief of up to 60% THC concentration or even more in some cases. It also packs all the benefits from the remaining 120+ cannabinoids found in cannabis, which not only make you high, but reduce pain, improve sleep patterns, increase appetite, reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and more.

The industrial production of hash involves using pressure and heat techniques to turn kief into a malleable paste that hardens after cooling. This process uses solvents for fast and massive production.

There’s also a homemade way to make hash which involves using your hands or your feet. A constant pressing and molding kief for a few minutes (well, it may be more than just “a few”) between your hands or under your foot will turn the golden-greenish power into the best play dough ever seen by mankind.

Hash is most popular in the middle-east side of the planet, where it has been used for generations. 

But hash's popularity is on the rise, and in countries where cannabis is legal demand is growing.

Today, hash is a cannabis product that can be found in psychotropic and non-psychotropic versions, to reach the needs of all cannabis users around the world.

How to use hash?

When you see a block or a ball of hash, you may confuse it with 85% dark chocolate: it looks so dark and delicious you could just eat it.

And if you wanted, you could just do so. 

Hash can be used in the kitchen, whether melted, ground, or sliced. You can use it in both sweet and savory recipes and it will add not only a psychotropic but also a flavor layer.

When cooking with hash, time is the key. The longer you cook with hash, the more potent the effect will be. And as with all edibles, the high lasts longer.

Hash is preferrably smoked. You can smoke hash straight, combine it with tobacco or go all the way and mix it with pot to experience different sensations.

You can find hash dried or in a dough/paste. To use it, simply break it into pieces and add it to your food, duby, bong, pipe, or wherever you want. You can also warm it until soft, shape it, and smoke it, or melt it and use it to “seal” your joint.

How does the hash-high feel?

Hasheesh is like moon rocks: a little goes a long way. With THC percentages that rank from 30% to an outstanding 60%, hash is not to be messed with.

Depending on your preferences, your high will vary. Smoking only hash has a brazing effect. Mixed with tobacco, you’ll feel a mild and robust high. Mix hash with weed and get ready for one of those highs when you'll fail to talk eventually.

But regardless of how you use it, expect to get really high. Hash is way more potent than your regular weed, and its effects can last for a long time.

Some people define the "hash-high" as somewhat more psychedelic than the high you get when smoking regular cannabis. Your perception of time and space can be altered for a while, although as time passes by, the effects decrease, and the remaining high is more similar to smoking a duby.

Because of its strength, many people prefer to combine their hash with tobacco. This way you develop a “wellness high” that doesn’t keep you from your daily activities.

Other people are even more creative and make herbal joints with different herbs, including chamomille or lavender, to mix with hash for a fragrant and mild high, ideal for a day in the office or running errands.

So, are they the same?

Still not sure if you can 100% say if hash and moon rocks are the same thing? Say no more. This table will surely help you:

Variable	Hash	Moon rocks
Ingredients	Kief	Buds, cannabis oil, kief
Cannabinoids presence	All	All
Non-THC option	Yes	Yes
THC content	Up to 60%	Up to 90%
CBD content	Up to 25%	Up to 75%
Edible	Yes	No
Smokable	Yes	Yes
Vapeable	Yes (less recommended method)	Yes

So, in conclusion, moon rocks and hash are not the same thing. 

Moon rocks are made with cannabis dry buds, hash oil, and kief. They have up to 90% THC content and are known as “cannabis caviar” by many due to their premium features, their effects, and of course, their price.

On the other hand, you have hash, a high-quality artisan product that comes from pressing and heating kief into a flexible, dark dough that can be used as such or turned into hard bricks. Its THC content is a non-despicable 60% THC content.

They’re both premium cannabis products that offer a deeper and more intense psychoactive experience than regular weed or any other cannabis-based products.

Which one is better? You’re the only one to say. I invite you to experience both and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
