“Why THC Sauce is a Must-Try for Every Cannabis Enthusiast < 3"

For cannabis enthusiasts, exploring the diverse range of products available is part of the journey. One such product that has been gaining significant attention is THC sauce. Known for its potency and rich flavor profile, THC sauce stands out as a must-try for anyone passionate about cannabis. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the reasons why THC sauce should be on your list

What is THC Sauce?

The sauce is a cannabis extract with a sticky, liquid consistency. Sauce extractions are known for high levels of terpenes, which give them incredibly robust flavor profiles. The sauce is typically produced using a unique process designed to create a two-component final product: cannabinoid-rich crystals with high levels of THC suspended in terpene-rich oil.

How does making sauce differ from other extracts?

The central goal of making sauce is to allow the major cannabinoids, especially THC, to crystallize and separate from the terpenes. This makes sauce quite different from other extracts. While extracts like shatter, budder, or wax aim to keep cannabinoids and terps fully integrated and uniform in color, texture, and potency, sauce exhibits varying levels of uniformity while still fulfilling its intended purpose — high potency and flavor. The solvent removal process takes much longer with sauce than with other extracts.  While making shatter typically involves purging most of the solvent in a closed-loop system and immediately placing the extract into a vacuum oven for 24 to 72 hours to remove all residual solvents, the process for making sauce can take anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks to complete. That’s because rather than purging out all solvent at once, sauce producers purposefully leave solvent in the mixture for a longer time, to allow THCA or CBDA compounds to crystallize.

What is the difference BETWEEN live resin and live sauce?

Live Sauce is a live resin derivative. The physical difference between live resin and live sauce is apparent in the consistency of the substance. While live resin retains a sap-like texture, the live sauce is composed of a liquid portion and a solid portion. This is due to the chemical differences between the two. The liquid component of live sauce is known as high terpene extract (HTE) or terp oil. This contains the aromatic qualities of cannabis – think tastes and smells. The solid portion of the thc sauce is composed of THCa crystals or the psychoactive component of cannabis that becomes activated with heat. These crystals are often referred to as “THC diamonds” or THC sauce“diamonds” which can be further “mined” as terp sauce.

Full spectrum and the Entourage Effect!

Many live sauce and resin products are full-spectrum, meaning the goal of the extraction process is to retain the integrity of the active compounds found in the cannabis trichomes. While not all live sauces and resins are full-spectrum, those that do encourage what is known as the “Entourage Effect. This refers to the phenomenon in which all of the compounds available in cannabis work in tandem to produce a synergistic effect. Full-spectrum products are renowned for the powerful response they elicit within the body.
