Between crumbly pollen, traditional hash and ice-o-lator, there's a lot to get lost in. Each form has its own characteristics, its own effects and its own way of being consumed. If you want to choose CBD resin resin that's right for you, I'll tell you all you need to know.
Things to remember
- Some resins are more conducive to sleep, others to relaxation or mental clarity.
- Pollen, hash or ice-o-lator, each type has its own power, handling and method of use.
- The level of CBD, the terpenes present and the extraction spectrum really determine the experience.
Adapt your CBD resin to the desired effect
When choosing your CBD resin, the first question you need to ask yourself is: what effect do I expect after consumption? This will enable you to make an informed and judicious choice.
For a good night's sleep
If your goal is to sleep better or have a more peaceful night, you need aCBD-rich resin combined with relaxing terpenes such as myrcene or linalool. These molecules promote muscle relaxation and make it easier to fall asleep. An indica-dominant variety, or a full-spectrum hash rich in these terpenes, is ideal for evening use.
Mama recommends Afghan Hash CBD . With its 25% CBD, dense texture and floral profile, it's the perfect companion for decompressing before bedtime. Rich in natural terpenes from a resinous strain, it opens the door to a deep, relaxing experience. It's the perfect ally for the end of a day that's a little too tiring!
You can also try CBDLe Mousseux which develops woody and spicy notes while retaining a mild effect. Its supple texture puts you in a cocooning mood even before you consume it.
To relax and relieve stress
Opt for a CBD-balanced resin, with a medium dosage (20 to 25%) and a terpene profile including pinene or caryophyllene to promote soothing without over-sedation. This type of resin is ideal for a break at the end of the day, or a calm moment away from intense stress.
Mama recommends 3 X CBG / CBD filtered resin . With its powerful CBD content and the presence of CBG, this ultra-pure resin acts as a background regulator. It helps you catch your breath without shutting down. Its refined texture ensures a clean burn, and its balanced profile keeps stress at bay without dampening your motivation. You can also use it during the day to relieve pressure without knocking yourself out.
To maintain concentration or stimulate creativity
A gentler option that keeps you active and creative is hidden in light resins with low CBD content (10-15%), combined with terpenes such as limonene (lemony aroma) or cineole (camphorated), will be more stimulating without a psychotropic effect. They're ideal in the morning or during the day, when you want to stay alert without feeling heavy.
Mama recommends Skuff CBD . This light, easily crumbled pollen contains 14% CBD, perfect for keeping your mind clear while reducing nervousness. It diffuses fresh, herbal aromas that gently stimulate you. It's ideal for the creative, the active, or those who want to stay in the flow without tension.
Choose the texture that's right for you
The texture of the resin affects the way you consume it and its intensity.
- Pollen: crumbly, dry, easy to crumble. Perfect for gentle consumption, as a spray or on a base. Ideal if you're just starting out or want a light effect.
- Traditional hash: stickier, denser, often hand-pressed, like afghan or Moroccan hash. It offers a deeper effect, and if you heat or vaporize it slowly, you'll get a better feel for the terpenes.
- Ice-o-lator: ice-water extract, rich in white trichomes. Highly concentrated and powerful, to be reserved for those seeking a stronger effect. Use in moderation.
Learn to read labels: intensity, CBD content and aroma profile
Mama tells you, reading labels is very important! So here's my advice on how to make sense of it all.
CBD content
Resins can contain between 10% and 40% CBD. The higher the concentration, the stronger the effect, but you'll also need to use in moderation to avoid an overly intense sensation.
Terpene profile
Each strain has a mix of dominant terpenes. See if the ones listed match the effect you're looking for. For example, myrcene to relax you or limonene to give you a boost of energy.
Laboratory analysis
Don't hesitate to ask for clear sheets indicating the source, the levels measured, and the possible presence of residues. This is important to ensure the transparency, quality and legal compliance of your CBD resin.
