Is Water Soluble Live Resin a Thing?

I’ve asked around to various companies and I haven’t found anyone who makes this without it being specially ordered. They haven’t given me a good reason why they don’t make it but I feel like it would sell very well.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Stay safe and dangerous to you all💪🏻

Water soluble cannabinoids are a thing.

Water soluble terpenes are a thing.

It might be a little harder to keep live resin suspend in solution for long periods of time b.c. of the complexity of its matrix.

That might be why there are less of those products on the market.

Cost is also a factor. It’s expensive to fresh freeze and store biomass prior to extraction.

Can you explain exactly what you mean.?
Resin is a concentrate. You want a concentrate that is soluble in water? Or a concentrate that was produced by water extraction?

Personally I think if your live resin is quality it will sell itself as is Vs. turning into something else.

I haven’t tried many water soluble products, but I have tried live resin vs live rosin gummies etc, idk if I would note anything noticeable that would differentiate them as they are both flavored products, the live resin was more bitter to me, and the advertised flavor was completely off (mango was peach flavor)

Does the choice make a noticeable difference in the products? Maybe if your live resin terp profile genuinely compliments your product and care is taken during the infusion/emulsion. But does it make a superior product that is worthwhile, idk really. I would guess it might be slightly less stable.

What product are you imagining? A drink, a powder, an additive, for an end-user product or b2b offering, something else? There are some good posts here about methods for achieving water solubility, but the idea can mean different things to different people. You have inspired me maybe work on a little something at home. Please check out Horatio’s (you are missed) Terp Champagne.
It is a good point that you make about market availability, some of us here would buy one. But sadly, the market (or marketing (not going down that rant here and now)) seems to just want flavors like cola or strawberry or vanilla or . . .
