How To Make Wonderful Marijuana Moon Rocks

If you've been wondering, "What will marijuana-product makers think of next?" the answer is marijuana moon rocks weed.

Despite how famous this product has become, there is still some misconception about what a moon rock is and how to produce one.

We're here to talk about it! This post will explain what moon rock marijuana is and how to produce it.

What Moon Rock Weed Is Not

Moon rock marijuana, sometimes known as moon rock, is frequently mistaken for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).

That term is also difficult for me to pronounce. Fortunately, MDMA is more popularly recognized as ecstasy, so we'll refer to it as such from now on.

Though ecstasy has euphoric effects similar to marijuana, the two are very distinct. Ecstasy is a methamphetamine that affects the brain's serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine receptors. And, because ecstasy is an amphetamine stimulant, it may be addictive.

Marijuana, on the other hand, operates on cannabinoid receptors in the brain and is, for the most part, non-addictive.

For everyone to understand what you're talking about, it's generally helpful to say "moon rock weed" or "moon rock marijuana" in conversation. We don't want someone to get the incorrect idea.

What Is Moon Rock Weed?

Another common myth about moon rock cannabis is that it is a unique breed of marijuana produced specifically for its THC content. This is incorrect. Moon rock marijuana is a three-way blend of the following cannabis products:

  • Raw, whole bud
  • Honey oil (a.k.a. hash oil)
  • Kief

Moon rock marijuana, also known as cannabis caviar, is just a little sprinkle of your favorite bud bathed in honey oil with a liberal sprinkling of kief on top.

The completed result resembles a green candy nugget or, for the more health-conscious, a Brussels sprout.

Because moon rock marijuana is created from three unique strains of cannabis, each with varying degrees of intensity, many consider it to be the strongest cannabis in the world and the finest high on the planet. But is moon rock cannabis that potent?

How Effective Is Moon Rock Weed?

We're not going to lie: moon rock cannabis is quite potent or can be if you use the appropriate components. It all starts with the type of cannabis you use.

You can select a high-THC strain, such as Bruce Banner (29% THC), or a low-THC strain, such as Maui Wowi (13% THC). This will have a huge impact on the moon rock weed potency.

Furthermore, the strength of the honey oil you use, as well as the potency of the kief you utilize, will have a significant impact on the THC percentage of the completed moon rock.

A standard moon rock has 50% THC on average, but with the appropriate combination of substances, that already-high proportion may be increased to nearly triple digits.

However, potency is not the be-all and end-all of moon rock weed's allure. Sure, it plays a role, but the vast range of benefits that this type of cannabis provides is frequently the main appeal.

Depending on a variety of conditions, moon rock cannabis can have varied effects and degrees of influence.

The strain selected is the most important of these considerations. But the terpene and cannabinoid concentrations in the bud, honey oil, and kief are almost as essential.

Another important element is the near-unmeasurable synergy of the three substances. Synergy is the interplay of bud, honey oil, and kief that generates results that are greater than what would be obtained if the ingredients were taken separately.

Even with a chemical degree, determining the synergistic effects of bud, honey oil, and kief may be challenging, so your best chance is to experiment with different combinations.

The benefits can be enhanced further by incorporating CBD goods (bud, oil, or kief) into the mix rather than solely THC products.

Instead of just soaring as high as possible (with high-THC moon rocks), you may attain medical benefits such as decreased nausea, anti-anxiety, seizure suppression, and many more. All of this is doable with only a little amount of CBD.

What Should You Expect From Moon Rock Weed?

As we discussed before, it all relies on the components utilized to manufacture the moon rock. Because there are three various factors (bud, oil, and kief) and because each of them might change amongst themselves, there’s no way to explain every single alternative.

Instead, we’ve simplified it all down to two primary categories: THC and CBD. These cannabinoids have various effects and advantages.

So, after you understand what they do, you can start tinkering with your moon rock cannabis combo to get it just the way you want it. We'll begin with THC.

THC

THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to be precise, is legendary for getting you severely screwed up (high) in no time. THC's biggest claim to fame is this.

Don't add THC (bud, oil, or kief) in your moon rock cannabis if you don't want to trip the light fantastic.

THC, on the other hand, has certain distinct medical properties that should not be overlooked. THC has the following medicinal benefits:

  • Pain relief
  • PTSD treatment
  • Eased nausea and vomiting
  • Insomnia prevention
  • Enhanced senses
  • Increased appetite
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Stopped convulsions
  • Relaxed muscles

That's a lot of medical advantages from a cannabinoid that most people associate with marijuana.

CBD

CBD (cannabidiol) is the main therapeutic powerhouse of the group. Furthermore, it has no psychotropic side effects. So you may use CBD products without fear of getting high and losing half your day.

CBD has several medical advantages, including:

  • Bone development
  • Slowed bacterial growth
  • Inhibited growth in cancer cells
  • Reduced risk of artery blockage
  • Prevention of nervous system degeneration
  • Psoriasis treatment
  • Reduced blood sugar levels
  • Decreased pain
  • Reduced seizures and convulsions
  • Better sleep
  • Suppressed muscle spasms
  • Anxiety relief
  • Reduced nausea and vomiting
  • Appetite stimulation
  • Lessened severity of psychosis
  • Reduced inflammation

And that's only the beginning! Scientists are constantly discovering novel applications for CBD to treat both common and rare disorders.

Mix-And-Match

If you want to produce your moon rock cannabis (which we'll go through in the following part), you can experiment with the amounts of THC and CBD in the final product.

If you want to be transported to another dimension, go for high-THC moon rock cannabis. Make your moon rock cannabis with CBD bud, oil, and kief if you want the medical effects without losing your grasp on reality.

Should You Make Your Own Moon Rock Weed Or Buy Already-Made?

We'll walk you through the entire process of making moon rock cannabis below, but bear in mind that it takes three separate ingredients. You have four options when it comes to making your moon rock weed:

  1. Make all of the ingredients at home (assuming you can grow your bud).
  2. Buy entire marijuana and produce your honey oil and kief.
  3. Purchase entire cannabis, honey oil, and kief from a dispensary near you.
  4. Purchase pre-made moon rock cannabis from a reputable vendor.

It all comes down to how much work you want to put into it and how much time you have to devote to the process.

Let's break down the moon rock-making process from beginning to end to assist you to decide whether to manufacture or purchase.

Grow Your Own Bud

Growing your bud is a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation. To get the result just right, a significant deal of expertise, experience, and specialized equipment is required. Most individuals don't have the time or money to devote to cultivating their marijuana.

We're not saying it can't be done, but it's typically preferable to get cannabis from someone who does it full-time.

Make Your Honey Oil

Honey oil, also known as hash oil, is primarily produced by a solvent extraction method. A chemical solvent such as alcohol, carbon dioxide, or butane is pushed through the cannabis material during solvent extraction.

Trichomes and other pollutants are removed from the plant throughout the procedure. The solvent is subsequently removed by evaporation or filtering, leaving behind the THC, CBD, terpenes, flavonoids, and other beneficial compounds.

Butane is by far the most often utilized solvent in the production of honey oil. To distinguish it from other extraction processes, we typically refer to the resulting product as butane hash oil (BHO).

The issue with producing your honey oil is that the procedure might be hazardous. Butane is very flammable, and abusing it can result in serious damage or death.

Overall, it's just a better idea to let experts with plenty of experience manufacture the honey oil for you.

Make Your Own Kief

Kief, also known as crystal or pollen, is a fine powder formed from the trichomes present on the cannabis plant's leaves. Kief is rather simple to make.

It's certainly less difficult than cultivating your buds or producing your honey oil. To gather your kief, all you need is a grinder with a kief collector at the bottom.

Simply lay your buds in the uppermost chamber and start grinding. The sliced blossom lands on the screen below. The loose kief falls through this screen and into the next compartment, where it can be kept.

Some people even place a tiny coin in the herb gathering chamber to act as an agitator and separate the kief from the ground bud.

After grinding, tap the grinder against a flat surface (such as the table) to push the remaining loose kief through the screen and into the last compartment.

As you can see, creating the three components that go into making moon rock cannabis is time-consuming. Your best bet is to get the pre-made product from your local dispensary and simply enjoy the effects.

If you want greater control over what you eat, we recommend purchasing the three components from a reputable source and then making your batch of moon rock cannabis.

Making Moon Rock Weed

The method for creating moon rock cannabis is fairly easy. To get started, you'll need the following:

  • Your preferred entire bud
  • Kief
  • Honey extract
  • A small brush or eyedropper
  • Tweezers

To begin, separate a little bit of bud from the bigger one. Holding this component and manipulating it with the tweezers simplifies the entire procedure. Then, using an eyedropper or a little brush, coat the bud with honey oil.

Cover the entire piece of bud but do not soak it. Finally, roll the oil-coated bud in kief until covered.

Repeat with the rest of your honey oil, bud, and kief. Allow the nuggets to dry completely before using. That's all.

It just takes three easy actions to create an entirely different cannabis experience. And, when you think about it, the possibilities are limitless.

But what do you do with moon rock cannabis once the nuggets have dried? That question will be addressed in the next section.

How to Make Use of Moon Rock Weed

Simply said, moon rock marijuana is smoked in the same way that most other cannabis products are. Moon rock cannabis can be smoked in a joint, hash bowl, pipe, bubbler, or bong.

Simply break up the moon rock cannabis and wrap it in your favorite rolling paper or place it in the bowl of your bong. Let the fun begin by adding fire. That's all there is to it.

If that wasn't enough, here's some information on two of the most frequent approaches to get you started.

Put Some Rock In Your Roll

Rolling a piece of rock into a joint, blunt, or spliff is one of the simplest, most recognizable, and most accessible techniques of shooting the moon.

This works best if you're rolling your product, but you can also add wax to pre-rolled blunts and joints with a little effort.

If you're starting from fresh, split up a nug of moon rock cannabis and sprinkle some of the smaller particles along the length of the joint before sealing it.

If you bought anything from a dispensary and want to add more kick to it, you'll need to deconstruct the joint, blunt, or spliff, add the crushed moon rock, and then reroll everything together to smoke it.

It's a pain to do this since you have to destroy the product first before you can reconstruct it.

Adding rock to a pre-rolled joint, blunt, or spliff, on the other hand, can be faster and less stressful since you can rely on the wrapper's "memory" to roll up much faster rather than struggling to shape the flat sheet into anything like a tube again and over.

Conclusion

Moonrocks are something that everyone should try, although it's not a daily smoke for most people owing to the highly intense impact, so be careful and start cautiously.
