What Are Moon Rocks and How to Make and Smoke Them?

Moon rocks are a unique form of cannabis. The nugs are dipped or sprayed with a concentrate (shatter or hash oil). Then they’re rolled in kief, the powder collected from cannabis leaves and flowers that’s made of cannabinoids, terpenes, and trichomes. Kief is also known as “Chief” or “Dust.”

There are also CBD moon rocks soaked in CBD oil and then rolled in a terpene-rich kief. These contain only trace THC amounts.

The moon rocks weed origins are not as clear. Some rumors suggest the Starbuds760 dispensary created them first, and then the rapper Kurupt and his partner Dr. Zodiak popularized them and making their version, Dr. Zodiak’s Moonrock.

How Potent Are They, and Why?

The moon rocks bud is known for its high potency. It features high levels of THC, more than 50 % on average. However, not all moon rocks are of the same quality and strength. It all depends on how it was made and who made it.

The smoking journey begins with a terpene-rich taste the kief brings. As moonrocks provide one of the most potent cannabis drug effects, you won’t be able to match the high it offers with anything you’ve experienced before. It will all start in the head and will soon spread all the way down to your toes. Within half an hour, the intense high is about to kick in.

How to Smoke Moon Rocks?

Marijuana is the most commonly used drug, and people consume it differently. Some smoke joints, while others use vaporizers. Plus, there are edibles as well, a mixture of cannabis and food.

Having the right equipment is a must to get the most out of the experience when it comes to moon rocks. You’ll need to use glassware - a glass bong or pipe.

• Warning: You need to start very carefully and with a small dose.
•  Break the moonrocks into pieces using scissors or your hands. If you decide to break them with your hands, do it gently and not press too hard because the oil will melt.
•  Do not use the grinder because you will lose lots of kief in the process.
•  Put the rocks into the glass bong or pipe.
•  Light it with the hemp wick.

The rocks are pretty messy, and that’s why many are using bong or pipe, as that represents an ideal solution. However, you can add small amounts of moonrocks into the joint like many smokers do when they’re aiming at an intense high.

What You Need to Know About Smoking Them

As mentioned, start with a small dose, and go slow. As moon rock strain is pretty unique, you need to have a proper approach and stick to the following safety tips.

First, choose a suitable smoking environment, as you are going to be in a not-moving mode. In other words, your couch is going to be your best friend for a couple of hours.

Suppose you have some plans or errands to run. Focus on that first. Make sure to complete all the things you have for the day before you start the smoking session because once you get high, the action won’t be possible.

Have the potency of moonrocks in mind, and make sure to eat before smoking. If you don’t eat before smoking, you’ll probably feel nausea. Also, it is essential to stay hydrated. It would be best to prepare enough water and keep it next to you while smoking.

When you start your session, you won’t have to wait long until the effects kick in. Within 30 minutes, the super-strong high will hit.

Pros:

•  They deliver the high that’s super intense
•  An affordable option, because they last a long time
•  Top-choice for those looking for high levels of THC

Cons:

•  They are messy, which is why most people use glassware when smoking.
•  It would be best if you stored them properly, in a dry and cool place. If you don’t do that, they’ll become sticky pretty fast.

How to Make Moon Rock?

Making moon rocks, also known as cannabis caviar, sounds complicated, but the truth is entirely different. The process is pretty simple.

You’ll need:

• The flower/strain you prefer
• The concentrate you like the most
• Some kief from the grinder
• The tool to grab the flower, for example, small tongs or tweezers
• A dropper for the concentrate

The making process:

• Get your flower, and keep in mind the denser the nug, the better.
• Use a dropper and cover the flower with concentrate.
• With the tool, you previously prepared (tongs or tweezers), take the flower and gently roll it in kief, but make sure to cover it completely.
• Next, let it dry completely.
• Finally, it's time!

One of the biggest flaws of moon rocks is that they will become sticky pretty fast if they are not properly stored. You need to keep them in a dry and cool place to prevent melting.

Is It Worth Trying?

If you want to experience the high that many would say is out of this world, or want to consume high THC levels, then yes, it is worth trying.

The side effects of consuming it may involve headaches, dizziness, increased heart rate, paranoia, respiratory issues, dry mouth, and impaired memory.

Again, an important reminder. If you are a cannabis newbie or have never consumed moonrocks before, make sure to start with a low dose and move slowly.
