COSMIC CONCENTRATES WHITE RUNTZ & ORANGE DAIQUIRI LIVE RESIN
THIS NORCAL-BASED extractor is on a major come-up, taking both 1st and 3rd Place in the Hydrocarbon Liquid Solvent category at The Emerald Cup Awards in May for their White Runtz and Orange Daiquiri, respectively. Both stellar strains are made from flower by Peak Organics, and the resulting sticky sap deserves every accolade it’s gotten. The White Runtz delivers delectable sweetness, and the Orange Daiquiri brings that fruit with a funky undertone. 68.9% THC | 79.7% Total Cannabinoids | gocosmic.co @cosmicbrands

HOLY WATER JELLY RANCHERS UNHOLY LIVE RESIN/ROSIN
SOMETIMES it’s hard to decide what to put in your PuffCo Pro. Thankfully, Holy Water has the answer for that problem. The Unholy split jar offers both the solventless and solventextracted experience, with the Jelly Ranchers rosin on one side and the live resin version on the other. Frankly, it was difficult to pick a favorite of the two: The live resin seemed slightly brighter and more herbaceous, whereas the rosin seemed a little richer. Together they made for a great experience. 76% Total Cannabinoids | 72% THC | 11% Terpenes | @holywater710

TRUE NORTH FAMILY FARMS LEMON DROP CRUMBLE
Trinity County’s True North Family Farms, renowned for producing elite sungrown Cannabis flower, is now diving into the world of extracts with this Lemon Drop crumble crafted in partnership with Tree Bird Brands. The nose is a mixture of astringent lemon cleaning detergent and sugary sweet Lemonhead candies. When dabbed at low temp, the extract’s lemon characteristics are backed by subtle notes of spice and funk. 85.2% THC truenorthfamilyfarms.com @truenorthfamilyfarms

BOX CONCENTRATES ORANGE CREAM CAKE SAUCE
THERE’S SOMETHING enticing about a plain white box. Instead of spending money on flashy advertising, Box is sourcing from sungrown and greenhouse flowers to create simple, effective concentrates. Their Orange Cream Cake sauce isn’t too runny, making for a nice scoop from the dab tool. There’s a hint of orange zest that’s not overpowering, but rather quite pleasant, as well as a subtle, spicy backend at higher temperatures – possibly from the high concentration of caryophyllene (a terpene commonly found in pepper, oregano and clove). 79.12% Total Cannabinoids | 78.65% THC | 2.19% Caryophyllene | .86% Humulene boxconcentrates.com @box_concentrates

GET GLOBS CRYPTO CAKE SHATTER
Founded in the Bay Area, Get Globs has been keeping the fire alive on classic concentrate smoking styles. This one has big Chem Dog energy. The chem dominates the flavor here, but you can still find some Ice Cream Cake in the robust exhale that grabs you by the short hairs. An incredible, rapid-onset head high paired with an easily transportable product makes this a no-brainer for any concentrate kit. 77% THC | 92.14% Total Cannabinoids

BEEZLE EXTRACTS GARY PAYTON LIVE RESIN BUDDER
Beezle has built a solid reputation over the years, offering stellar live resin to the NorCal market and garnering awards in competitions such as The Emerald Cup. The trend continues, with Beezle taking 1st and 2nd Place in the Hydrocarbon Solid Solvent category of the Cup’s 2022 awards. We sampled the 2nd Place winner, Gary Payton from Mendocino’s Earthen Farms (@earthenfarms), and savored the fuel, earth and orange peel on display. 67% THC | 83.8% Total Cannabinoids

GET GLOBS THE JUICE SAUCE
Get Globs has simple branding that goes along with their message to the world: Take every day one glob at a time. As part of the Get Globs live resin series, right when you open the jar of The Juice Sauce, you’ll catch a potent and citrusy fruit punch smell. This caviar-esque mix of White Widow and Tangie is a terpy sauce with a thick diamond layer – one that you should shine a light through to fully appreciate. The flavor has combined citrus from the Tangie and the White Widow, but there’s also earth and pine present. Very cerebral and perfect for loading up at Cannabis events. 73.78% THC | 84.89% Total Cannabinoids | @getglobs
