Live Resin Shatter — Cannabis Concentrate Profile

Live Resin Shatter is a glass-like cannabis concentrate known for its clarity, snap consistency, and strong potency. It combines the terpene preservation of live resin with the classic translucent structure of traditional shatter, offering bold flavor and powerful effects in a stable, easy-to-dose form.

How Live Resin Shatter Is Made

Live Resin Shatter begins with freshly harvested cannabis plants that are flash-frozen immediately after harvest. This freezing process preserves delicate terpenes and cannabinoids that might otherwise degrade during drying and curing.

The frozen material undergoes hydrocarbon extraction (commonly butane or a butane/propane blend). After extraction, the concentrate is carefully purged under controlled heat and vacuum without agitation. Avoiding whipping or stirring allows the extract to form a smooth, translucent, brittle sheet that “shatters” when broken.

THC Level / Potency

• Typical THC range: ~70%–90%

• Considered a very high-potency concentrate

• Strength depends on strain genetics and terpene retention

Because of its concentrated cannabinoid profile, effects are often fast and pronounced.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

Live Resin Shatter delivers:

• Bright, preserved terpene flavor
