Been getting into concentrates more seriously and I keep going back and forth between live rosin and live resin. Wanted to get the community's take.

Live Rosin pros (for me):

  • Solventless = cleaner feeling
  • Better terpene expression
  • Smoother on the throat

Live Resin pros:

  • Way more affordable
  • Higher potency usually
  • More variety available in stores

I find myself reaching for rosin when I want to savour the flavour, and resin when I just want to get ripped lol. The price difference is the killer though — 0-70/g for good rosin vs 0-40 for resin.

What's your preference? And any Canadian brands doing exceptional work in either category?
