Cannabis is more than just pot brownies and pretty bongs.  There are actually new types of ways for people to consume weed.  While we do have edibles and sommeliers for smoking, moon rocks is something that is considered a sort of caviar for cannabis. Moon rocks is the newest types of marijuana tech that’s offering newfound novelty, and a chance to offer the most THC possible, especially within but one smoking session. 

What are moon rocks? 

Moon rocks are basically weed Turducken. For those of us who don’t know, turducken is basically chicken put directly into a turkey. Basically, this is a high-THC type of flower that’s put in a concentrate or hash oil, with kief put on top of it. It’s basically all of the top THC products all put together. 

There are different ways to make them, but they only require a few ingredients.  It’s basically taking three ingredients and putting them together, which is why people like it. 

How to Make Moon Rocks 

To make this, you want to get the following: 

• A cannabis nugget or bud that’s high in THC. You want something that’s around 20-30% THC alone
• A binding agent, including hash oil, and cannabis concentrate. Something that’s high in THC, but also can handle using kief there too. 
• Kief, or trichomes to sprinkle on top, using the oil as a way to bind this together 

For those of us  who don’t know what concentrates are, this is basically a high THC extraction from a plant. It also can have some of the other compounds, and different processes help to cultivate all of this into but one compound. It’s thick and sappy, almost saucy. Hash oil in contrast is more of an oleoresin, something that you can add to cartridges and edibles. 

Smoking These 

Moon rocks are the type of weed where you don’t need a lot. It’s clear why. The THC levels in these are insane. They also have a texture that can be hard to light too. Some people like to use pipes or bongs to help with flame control. Alternatively, you can also use a vaporizer to help with the dried flower.  The texture also is best to not use with a grinder.  Scissors or knifes to take a small piece off are the best option. 

To smoke this, you want to put this in something to smoke, and put the moon rock over the top of this. Putting it on a piece of flower that’s lit allows it to burn better and offer an effective smoke. You can also make joints out of this, but a lot of pre-rolls are already done like this. 

If you’re going to make these a joint, make sure to stick it in a way so that it can light up the weed that you have in there, and the other weed in the form of the moon rock. The biggest thing with these, is you’ve got to pace yourself. You may not feel it immediately, but due to the THC along with other cannabinoids, it can definitely be quite potent. 

This is something you should always start in a slow fashion with. That’s because they can sometimes be double what the strains that you normally get are. The high from this can last even to the day after that, so even those who are used to it, and it can be potent. There isn’t much danger, but you should never try to have a bunch of this at once, as it can be too potent, and may cause paranoia.
