HT/HCFSE “Live Resin” – Blue Dream

High Terpene Full Spectrum Extraction, better known as HTFSE, are a sensory overload of cannabis molecules. Full spectrum extract begins from a fully dewaxed BHO oil. We then allow the terpenes to separate at room temperature while THCA boulders begin to isolate. After this separation begins, we split the two substances and reintroduce them, amplifying the flavour and character of the product.

Live resin is a type of butane hash oil extracted from fresh cannabis plants that have been frozen immediately after harvest. Cannabis plants, while fresh, contain a different collection of terpenes than cannabis that has undergone a more traditional curing process.

By freezing the fresh cannabis plant matter, cultivators and manufacturers are able to keep their product with a higher water content than is typical of concentrates made from traditionally dried and cured cannabis plants. Butane in particular is water soluble above certain temperatures so, to prevent contamination, live resin is extracted at very low temperatures. Extractions of fresh, frozen plant matter must be made between -20 and -50 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the butane’s toxins from polluting the extract as the frozen cannabis is washed in solvent.

Ultimately, the cold, fresh extraction process produces an extract that contains more terpenes overall, particularly the lightweight and volatile monoterpenes like Myrcene and Terpinolene that are common in cannabis, but significantly harder to keep around throughout the high-temperature drying and curing processes that are otherwise typical to the industry. When a cannabis plant is flash-frozen immediately after harvest, however, cultivators and manufacturers are able to preserve terpene profiles more fully. Today, cannabis patients and enthusiasts are turning more and more frequently to these terpenes as indicators of specific effects that might be common to a strain or phenotype.

 Sativa Dominant Hybrid

Blue Dream is a sativa dominant hybrid strain that was made by crossing  the hugely popular Blueberry with a Haze strain. This infamous bud boasts a moderately high THC level that ranges from 17-24% on average and a myriad of both indica and sativa effects.

Users describe the Blue Dream high as having an immediate onset of an uplifting cerebral head high that leaves you completely motivated and focused with waves of creative energy that hit quickly and hard. This is accompanied by a mellow relaxing body high that leaves you warmed, numb, and completely pain free. Due to these potent combination effects, Blue Dream is said to be an ideal strain for treating patients suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, chronic pain due to injury or illness, mild to moderate cases of depression, and sleep disorders, including insomnia.

Blue Dream has a delicious aroma of sweet blueberry pie and a taste of sugary sweet blueberries that stays on your tongue long after smoking.
