Sweet Skunk Live Resin – By Kootenay Extracts

Strain Description

Sweet Skunk, not to be confused with “Sweet Island Skunk,” is an evenly balanced hybrid strain created through crossing the infamous Northern Lights X Skunk strains.

This strain brings on a delicious sweet skunky flavour and long-lasting heady effects that are perfect for killing mental aches and pains.

The Sweet Skunk high has a euphoric onset that smashes into your mind with hazy bliss, leaving you happy with an influx of unfocused creativity. This effect is very powerful and cause some mild anxiety or paranoia, so beware if you’re prone to either! A rush of energy comes next, infusing you with the fuel that you need to get going, although you won’t really be able to direct it anywhere thanks to your unfocused cerebral state.

Sweet Skunk is often chosen to treat conditions such as insomnia, migraines or headaches, chronic stress, and chronic pain. The smell of Sweet Skunk can be a little pungent at times, with a heavy chemical citrus effect.

What is Live Resin?

Live resin is a cannabis concentrate that gets its name from the freshness of the cannabis plant from which it’s made. Unlike the majority of cannabis products, Live resin extract is made from plant material that hasn’t been dried or cured. The starting plant material used for live resin includes fresh flower buds and sugar leaves; the large fan leaves and stems are excluded. The flash-freezing process helps preserve the most desirable compounds and retain the full flavour of the originating cannabis plant. Concentrate enthusiasts tend to gravitate toward live resin for its more flavorful and aromatic dabbing experience. When producing live resin, the primary goal is to capture the massive essence and aroma of the live cannabis plant. Products extracted using the live resin process — flash-freezing the cannabis plant material, then extracting it — are associated with high-quality and flavorful concentrates. Bypassing the typical drying and curing processes allows for a greater proportion of essential oils.

These essential oils, technically called terpenes, are the compounds responsible for the distinctive flavours and aromas in cannabis, and other characteristics to be expressed in the final product.
