I got 1g live resin carts 5/$100. It was my first time not getting disposable distillate vapes, and the LR is so much better. Hash rosin gummies sound incredible, I didn't know resin or rosin edibles existed before two weeks ago, how were they? But yeah, you and I have similar purchasing habits. There was a buy one get one for a penny on 100mg edibles so I grabbed 6 months worth for like $115 a couple years ago. I was elated. Knowing you're good for a long while is a nice feeling.
Yeah it's not even a contest between LLR and distillates, LLR wins in every single category except "can be made from the shittiest parts of the harvest" and retail price. If you can get a terp analysis from one of your LLR carts id love to see it, I'm always interested to see how our GPs stack up against others. Our high end carts are typically 10-15% terps, so with good strains it's literally like vaping candy. I'm actually super stoked for you to try some good LLRs and see how good it can get now. If you dig it and you don't have a dab rig or a pen yet definitely get one. It's basically the same thing as an LLR vape, but just not in cart form and it's the ultimate in flavor and potency for me.
The next level of course, is hash rosin. It's the purest and most well rounded extract and hits me like flower, but is also the most labor intensive and requires skill so rosin can be pretty pricey. Worth it in my book though, I had some blueberry muffin rosin a little while back that was so good that I called off work for it.
I just finished a joint of the Jack I posted yesterday and ohhhhh yessssss. Fruity, citrusy, and sweet over a light pine sap finish. My lips are totally covered in terps and I have a super pleasant mental boost and just feel generally happy and creative...that combo of flavor and effects is hard to match. This is easily a top 10 all time, GOAT list, desert island strain and when it's done right it's so good. If I made a Mt. Kushmore then Jack Herer would definitely be on it, both as a person and as a strain.
Here's the terps if any of you in lab report states want to try and find something similar. The signature skunky citrus fruit jack flavor comes from a combo of terpinoline, Ocimene (not listed), and myrcene.
