Rso & Hash Rosin edibles waste of time?

Hash and Stuff Edibles
1

What’s up, everyone! First-time poster here. I’ve searched the forums but couldn’t find a direct answer—apologies if this has been covered already.

My question is: when using full-spectrum extracts like RSO or rosin to make edibles, do you lose all the terpenes during cooking? From what I understand, the presence of terpenes and other cannabinoids is what differentiates full-spectrum edibles from those made with distillate.

For example, if I use hash to make cookies baked at 375°F for 10 minutes, will I lose all the terpenes? Ultimately, I’m trying to figure out if using hash for this kind of application is a waste. Any advice or insight would be much appreciated!

If your hash is smokeable, find something else to make edibles with. If the hash you’re using is already a waste product, then go for it.

In general, rosin edibles are just another way to custy people. In my opinion

edit not all the terpenes will be lost in decarb. You will still retain some burnt smelling ones

I’d disagree with that. I definitely notice a difference between rosin and disty edibles.

Mg for mg comparison the rosin ones always give me way more of a sedated classic stoned feeling.

And they definitely retain some of the more volatile compounds like terps. You can taste them and tell

I notice no difference in effects. I’m probably the exception not the rule here. But I also wouldn’t pay the price premium rosin edibles carry for the enhanced effects others describe.

Rosin and resin edibles are consistently the most popular in my market and people are willing to pay more. For me personally a 25mg rosin edible beats a 50mg disty edible any day. Decarb low and slow, same as you would for carts. I think the rosin that goes into carts is definitely still terpy. Idk, for me terps really make a difference in edibles. Even adding terps to disty edibles in personal testing has made a huge difference.

In my mind, everything but rosin input is trying to custy folks.

Thanks for the input, everybody. I’m sure most of you have heard of Wyld they make some fire gummies. Their stuff is labeled sativa and indica, but Ive never seen anything about hash or resin on the packaging, so Im guessing they use distillate. If thats the case, theyre probably just adding terps, right?

I find the same as someone who usually needs higher-dose edibles. Higher mg distillate edibles also tend to give me headaches compared to rosin equivalents.

Fairly certain they use distillate in three of the states where I’ve tried them, but ambiguous marketing as usual:

try adding a few drops of HTE to your disty gummies. Thank me later

Going to have to try this. Was going to decarb THCa to go for sativa vs indica but this sounds great.

Give it a shot and report back. I use a pectin recipe and add the HTE to the solution right before adding the citric acid in order to avoid exposing the HTE to heat for too long. Results in a great tasting gummy.

CDT straight into the gummy batches is my preference. Never gonna use high quality rosin to make gummies. Custys love some grand daddy terps in some grape gummies.

Im excited to see the results. I tried a gummy last year that was decarbed under pressure to retain terps and was surprised with how quick and hard it hit.

I always found people that didn’t want their weed to taste at all like weed a bit strange

“this tequila tastes like alcohol”

It’s an under developed market as far as consumer preferences to say the least.

Then we’ll make it taste like sweet sweet heroin (clean and tested. I’m no monster. I’d even get ad space)

I once had a farm bring me their “terps” for a project and it was just a gnarly jar of heads.

He said “our customers go crazy for it tho, they love it in the tinctures” lol

well I mean… I’m sure there are some terps in there
