Are you a seasoned cannabis consumer struggling to get high on the regular stuff? Is traditional cannabis flower just not doing it for you anymore?
Want more potency, better therapeutic effects, or psychoactive effects that are out of this world? Moon rocks are for you.
So, what is a cannabis moon rock, and how potent is it? Also, how do you make moon rocks?
Here, Elevate Holistics presents a handy guide on all things marijuana moon rocks as we answer an important question: how do you smoke moon rocks — either by itself or with other canna-products?
Let’s get right to it.
What are Cannabis Moon Rocks?
So, what are these celestial clusters? Moon rocks, also known as cannabis caviar, are cannabis flower dipped in hash oil and then covered in kief. This combination produces a potent psychoactive effect that transports you to the moon – that’s where it gets its name from.
As they’re ultimately just concentrated cannabis, moon rocks can produce one of the most potent highs that marijuana offers. The most potent cannabis strains have a THC content of about 32%, but moon rocks can clock in as high as 50%.
What are Hash and Kief?
We know what weed flower is, and we know that a combination of flower, hash, and kief will produce moon rocks, but what exactly are hash oil and kief?
-
Hash oil is a potent cannabis concentrate containing high levels of THC (up to 90%). This oil contains all of marijuana’s active compounds, like its cannabinoids (THC, CBD, and so on) and terpenes, while getting rid of the flower. This oil’s potency could provide greater therapeutic benefits, like pain and inflammation relief, than your typical flower.
-
Kief is the radiant crystally dust that covers cannabis plants. These dust particles, called trichomes, contain cannabinoids and other cannabis compounds. When the trichomes fall off the weed plant, they become kief. Most weed grinders have a compartment at its lowest level called a “kief catcher,” which collects the kief from ground-up buds. Consumers can add kief to bowls or joints for an upgraded high.
Spend less money, smoke better weed.
What Do Moonrocks Look Like?
A cannabis moon rock resembles a mossy rock straight from the Jurassic ages. Imagine a weed nug dipped in oil and coated kief.
Moon rocks usually come in a glass – you see dazzling cannabis buds surrounded by sticky hash oil.
Some brands make pre-rolled moon rocks so you don’t have to deal with the sticky mess.
Next, let’s address the salient question: how do you smoke moon rocks?
Learn How to Smoke Moon Rocks -- Easily
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 moon rock to a joint or blunt filled with flower, but it probably won’t burn properly because it requires high heat to burn and release its potency.
Smoking moon rocks is easy when you follow these simple steps:
-
Cut the cannabis moon rock into small pieces using a knife, blade, or scissors. You can also tear a moon rock apart with your fingers, but that’ll be messy, and you’ll lose kief. When you break moon rocks, you’re able to keep most of the components together.
-
Sit one small piece of moon rock on top of a half-full bowl of cannabis flower. Loosely place it to avoid clogging when heated.
-
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.
-
Inhale at a slow, even pace and prepare for an intense rip.
Can you smoke moon rocks without mixing them with traditional flower? You sure can. Let’s discuss how to smoke moon rocks by themselves.
How To Smoke Moon Rocks by Themselves
Don’t have any flower? Learning how to enjoy moon rocks by themselves can come in handy.
Following the steps listed above without the flower, slowly and gently burn the cannabis moon rock in the bowl of a glass pipe or bong.
The key is to gradually burn and melt all moon rock compounds.
Tips and Tricks for Smoking Moon Rocks
Who Should Consider Moon Rocks?
Smoking moon rocks is fun and highly beneficial, but you must proceed cautiously when treating yourself to this otherworldly experience. Make your high as enjoyable as possible by following these tips.
Go slow and steady: 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.
Keep your environment safe: Be sure you’re in a safe space with everything you need before smoking moon rocks. A cannabis moon rock could produce a couch-lock, belly-laughing type of high, so check all the boxes on your to-do list before blasting off.
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.
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. This will help buffer any possible unwanted side effects. Keep extra snacks prepared and ready to be munched on.
Store safely: Store your moon rocks in a cold, dark place because heat can melt them down and ruin your fun. Proper storage will preserve the quality, so store them in airtight containers away from direct sunlight or heat.
Use a hemp wick: Moon rocks have a dense texture and composition, so you must hold your fire source to them longer to get going. The usual lighters you use to smoke joints may be inadequate, so using hemp wicks can be a great alternative.
So, are moon rocks right for you? Who would best benefit from this potent option?
You should consider marijuana moon rocks if:
-
You need a stronger cannabis option to treat your physical, mental, or spiritual needs
-
You’re suffering from intense pain that requires intense treatment
-
You’re a seasoned cannabis consumer who wants to try something new and exciting with a more immersive experience.
In other words, moon rocks tend to be best for the most experienced cannabis users or medical patients around.
If it is your first time consuming weed or you experience anxiety caused by high levels of THC, it is best to avoid moon rocks.
If you experience unwanted effects, remember that you‘ll be okay – just breathe and sleep it off.
Where To Find Moon Rocks
So where can you find moon rocks? Many dispensaries sell marijuana moon rocks. You can search online dispensary menus near you to find out if your local dispensaries sell these tasty, potent buds.
Moon rocks are more expensive than a gram of traditional flower, but they’re still an affordable option given the high they provide and all the products they contain.
You can buy 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 concentrates and then dunking it in kief.
How to Make Moon Rocks at Home
Making a cannabis moon rock can be super fun and allows you to customize it to your liking using your favorite strains and cannabis oils.
To make moon rocks at home, you need the following:
-
Cannabis buds of your favorite strain. Choose dense buds that won’t crumble during the process.
-
Liquid dropper
-
Bowl of kief
-
Tongs, tweezers, or anything for grabbing
-
Hash oil
Here are the steps you should follow to learn how to make moon rocks right at home:
-
Use the tongs to pick up a bud or two.
-
Introduce the buds and hash oil to each other. Make sure the oil is not too thick; it must be runny and flow freely. If it’s too thick, heat it up a bit.
-
Use a dropper to cover the buds in hash oil. You may wonder why you can’t simply dip the buds in the cannabis oil. That’s because dipping will oversaturate the buds, leading to a longer drying time, and that’ll make the moon rocks difficult to light.
-
Roll the buds in kief until it is covered all through.
-
Let the moon rocks sit and dry until they’re ready for you to enjoy them. Depending on how much oil/concentrate you use, your moon rocks may take a few hours or up to seven days to dry.
Simpler Methods of Making Moon Rocks at Home
There are simpler methods if you don’t want to go through the potentially messy trouble of making regular moon rocks.
In the first method, you use a bong. Fill up a bong with weed, add hash oil, and then sprinkle kief on top.
The second method is like rolling a regular joint. Load the rolling papers with weed, add a line of sticky oil along the length of the paper, sprinkle kief on top, and then roll up.
How Do Moon Rocks Make You Feel?
At 50% potency, you’re certain to feel a lot, and this is not your regular cannabis experience. The high you get from moon rocks is more intense and lasts longer than regular cannabis.
Note that the effects of moon rocks are not the same for everyone because our endocannabinoid systems are different, and we all have different tolerance levels.
Users report feelings of euphoria, increased appetite, and relaxation after smoking moon rocks.
