Cannabis Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates are the resin of the plant separated from the plant material: live resin, rosin, hash, badder and similar. They're measured in fractions of a gram, so the amount you use is much smaller than with flower.

What to know before you buy
Solvent or solventless
Solvent extracts use something like butane or CO2 to pull resin off the plant, then purge it out. Solventless extracts, mostly rosin and hash, use only heat, pressure, ice and water. One isn't automatically better. They differ in texture, flavor and price.
What "live" means
Live products start with plants frozen fresh at harvest instead of dried and cured. Freezing keeps more of the aromatic compounds, so live resin and live rosin tend to smell more like the growing plant.
Start smaller than you think
Concentrates are used in much smaller amounts than flower. Start low and go slow: try a very small amount, then wait 5 to 10 minutes before deciding on more, as the state's guide suggests.

Concentrates questions, answered
What's the difference between live resin and rosin?
Live resin is extracted with a solvent from fresh-frozen plants. Rosin is pressed with heat and pressure and never touches a solvent.
How much concentrate can you have in New York?
Adults 21 and older can possess up to 24 grams of concentrated cannabis in New York. The Office of Cannabis Management counts edibles and oils as concentrate for that limit.
