When producing live resin, the primary goal is to keep the essence and aroma of the live cannabis plant, helping with the entourage effect. Products extracted using the live resin process — flash-freezing the cannabis plant material, then extracting it — are associated with high-quality and flavorful concentrates. Bypassing the typical drying and curing processes allows for a greater proportion of essential oils. These essential oils, commonly known as terpenes, are the compounds responsible for the distinctive flavors and aromas in cannabis.

Full-spectrum extracts are a type of cannabis concentrate that aim to capture as much of the full cannabinoid and terpene profile of that raw cannabis plant as possible. The goal is to acquire all the active molecules within the trichome gland without any alteration. Depending on how the plant is processed, live resin can be considered a full-spectrum extract.

Live Resin is a concentrate derived from the cannabis plant than includes flower buds and sugar leaves; the large fan leaves and stems are excluded. Live Resin retains the full flavor of the originating cannabis, providing for a more flavorful and aromatic dabbing experience.
