Exploring the Difference Between Rosin Gummies and Full-Spectrum Gummies: Extraction Methods, Content, and Choosing the Right Cannabis Edible for You
- Rosin Gummy:
- Extraction Method: Rosin is a solventless extraction method that uses heat and pressure to squeeze resin from cannabis flower or hash.
- Content: Rosin extraction typically preserves a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes found in the original plant material.
- Advantages: Considered a clean extraction method as it doesn’t involve the use of solvents. Retains the natural flavors and aromas of the cannabis strain.
- Disadvantages: May have a slightly different cannabinoid and terpene profile compared to the original plant due to the extraction process.
- Full-Spectrum Gummy:
- Extraction Method: Full-spectrum extracts are derived using various extraction methods (such as CO2, ethanol, or hydrocarbon) that aim to capture a broad spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes.
- Content: Contains not only THC and CBD but also other cannabinoids, terpenes, and potentially trace amounts of other compounds found in the cannabis plant.
- Advantages: Provides an “entourage effect,” where the various compounds work together synergistically, potentially enhancing therapeutic effects.
- Disadvantages: The extraction process may involve the use of solvents, and the final product might not fully replicate the original plant’s natural flavor and aroma.
