Are you a seasoned cannabis consumer that struggles to get high anymore? Is traditional flower just not doing it for you when it comes to therapeutic benefits? If you’ve ever wanted psychoactive effects that (while some might say literally) take you to space, moon rocks are for you.
So what is a cannabis moon rock and just how potent is it? Most importantly: how do you smoke moon rocks?
Don’t worry: Elevate Holistics has all the answers and more.
How Do You Smoke Moon Rocks?
The best way to smoke moon rocks is by using a glass piece like a pipe or bong.
It’s possible to add tiny broken-up pieces of them to a joint or blunt filled with flower, but it probably won’t burn properly.
Follow these steps to get the most out of your resinous rocks.
Step 1
Cut up the cannabis rock into small pieces using a knife, blade, scissors, or grinder. You can also tear a moon rock apart with your fingers, but it’s a little messy and you’ll lose kief.
Step 2
Sit one small piece of rock on top of a half-full bowl of flower. Loosely place it to avoid clogging when heated.
Step 3
Using a lighter or hemp wick, burn the moon rock slowly while trying to apply low heat. Let it melt the wax and burn the flower. If it catches on fire, put out the flame by lightly blowing on it or stamping it with the bottom of a lighter.
Step 4
Inhale at a slow, even pace and prepare for an intense rip.

What Are Moon Rocks Made Of?
Now that you know how to enjoy these tasty cannabis products, let’s get into the nitty-gritties: what are moon rocks made out of?
Are they weed?
Yes, a cannabis moon rock consists solely of marijuana and is a THC-heavy treat.
So, what are these celestial clusters?
Moon rocks are cannabis nugs dipped in hash oil and then covered in kief.
As they are ultimately just concentrated cannabis, moon rocks can produce one of the most potent highs that marijuana offers.
You know what weed flower is, but what exactly are hash oil and kief?
Hash oil | A potent cannabis concentrate containing high levels of THC (up to 90%). This kind of oil contains all of marijuanas active compounds, like its cannabinoids (THC, CBD, and so on) and terpenes, while getting rid of the flower. Hash oil’s potency could provide greater therapeutic benefits, like pain and inflammation relief, than your typical flower. This kind of extract can be heated and vaporized in the form of a dab. |
Kief | The radiant crystal-like dust that covers cannabis plants. These dust particles are called trichomes which contain cannabinoids and other cannabis compounds. When the trichomes fall off the weed plant, they become kief. Consumers can add kief on top of bowls or joints for an upgraded high. |

How to Prepare Your Own Moon Rocks: A Step-by-Step Guide

Apply Cannabis Oil: Use a small brush or dropper to coat the buds evenly with cannabis oil or concentrate. Be thorough but avoid soaking the bud.
-
Coat with Kief: Using tweezers or small tongs, roll the oil-coated buds in a tray of kief until fully covered. Ensure the kief sticks to all surfaces of the bud.
-
Drying Time: Allow the coated buds to dry and harden. This process can take several hours to a day.

Where To Buy Moon Rocks?
Many dispensaries, but not all, sell marijuana moon rocks. Search online dispensary menus near you to find out if your local dispensaries sell these tasty, potent buds.
More expensive than a gram of traditional flower, moon rocks are still an affordable option given the high they provide and all of the products they contain.
You can find moon rocks for about $30 to $40 per gram.
You can also make your own moon rocks by coating a nug of your favorite flower in hash oil and then dunking it in kief.
Making a cannabis moon rock can be super fun and allows you to customize it to your liking using your favorite strains.
The only downsides of making your own moon rocks are that it’s more expensive than buying them premade, and steps like gently heating the hash oil for coating (if your concentrate is more of a solid) can be a little tricky.
Health and Safety Tips: Consuming Responsibly
Before you start puffing on your own moon rocks, it’s important to understand some safety precautions to take first.
After all, these are super potent products, and we want you to have the best experience possible.
Start Slow
Most importantly, proceed with caution when treating yourself to this otherworldly experience.
Take a small hit of moon rock and wait a minute before taking another. See how you react first, as a little goes a long way.
Be in a Safe, Comfortable Environment
Be sure that you are in a safe space with everything you could need before partaking in this potency.

Stay Hydrated
It’s always a good idea to have plenty of water in your system and more water readily available before consuming moon rocks. Cottonmouth is likely.
Eat Something First
Prepare your high with snacks. Just like it’s good to have water in your system already, it’s also important to have some food in your belly.
