Moon rocks are cannabis flower buds that have been dipped in concentrate (usually hash oil or distillate) and then rolled in kief. The result is a dense, sticky, ultra-potent nugget that combines the effects of flower, concentrate, and trichomes in a single product. Moon rocks typically test between 50-90% THC depending on the quality of each component — far beyond what standard flower delivers.
What You Need to Know
Smoking moon rocks requires some technique. Don't put them in a grinder — they'll gum up the teeth. Instead, break them apart gently by hand or with scissors. Pack small pieces loosely in a bowl (bong or pipe) since they burn slowly and unevenly. Don't try to roll them in a joint — the sticky consistency makes rolling nearly impossible. Start with a very small amount, as the triple-layer potency can overwhelm even experienced consumers. Moon rocks are for seasoned users seeking maximum intensity — they are not recommended for beginners under any circumstances.
