What Are Moon Rocks, A Guide To The Best New Way To Get Stoned

What are Moon Rocks? You have probably heard about them, but have you seen them...or smoked them? Moon Rocks are a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

Here we will explore how Moon Rocks weed got started, what it is made up of and even share how you can make them yourself!

Where Did It Start

In the beginning, there was cannabis. The people smoked it, vaped it, ate it, turned it into a concentrate, etc. One fine day in 2014, rapper and former Executive Vice President for Death Row Records and Dogg Pound alumni Kurupt, 45, put out an entire mixtape called Moon Rocks, which you can listen to it here. That put the name Moon Rocks into popular culture and Kurupt capitalized by putting out his own line of Moon Rocks, aptly named Kurupt's Moon Rock.

What are Moon Rocks Made Of, and Can I Handle It?

Moon Rocks is made up of fine cannabis, hash oil, and kief. Yes, all three - at the same time. It starts with a nice fat bud of high-quality weed, the standard is girl scout cookies but other top shelf flowers will do just as well. The bud or buds are completely soaked in hash oil, an extract of the cannabis plant that is super concentrated. After it gets dipped in hash oil, it is then covered with kief or pollen, those pretty little crystals that collect in your grinder. If you want to see just how the magic happens you can visit the Facebook page for Dr. Zodiak where there is an educational video that shows the process of Moon Rocks being made.

Moon Rocks sound incredible but it is probably not for the pot newbie. If you have never smoked weed before starting with Moon Rocks might not be the world's greatest choice - not that I'm telling you what to do. By all means, stick your head in the dragon's mouth if you are so inclined, but be prepared. THC levels for Kurupt´s Moon Rock typically taps out around 51%, which is at least the desired level of THC for any Moon Rock weed, not just Kurupt´s.

The high is full bodied and long lasting. You truly feel like you have taken off on a rocket ship, floating in outer space. Moon Rocks is a great way to relax and give your endocannabinoid system a real treat. Make sure you smoke Moon Rocks out of glassware for the best possible flavor and outcome. This stuff is sticky and moist and rolling it in a joint or blunt MIGHT happen but it will not stay lit - so go with glass.

Ingredients:

A bud (or two or three or four)
Hash Oil or Concentrate
Kief, kief and more kief
Small eyedropper

Steps to Making Moon Rocks

1. Tweezers or tongs, whichever feel more comfortable

Select the first bud you are going to moon rockify.

If your chosen concentrate is an oil, use the eyedropper to distribute the amber colored goodness all over the bud. Use the tweezers or tongs to turn the bud while you saturate the flower.

If your chosen concentrate is something that needs a little warming to become viscous, heat it up until it becomes less solid and more liquid and either drip the concentrate all over your bud or dip it in the concentrate. Do not forget to use the tweezers or tongs to ensure cleanliness and less waste.

Continue to hold the concentrate covered cannabis bud with tweezers or tongs as you now roll the extra sticky flower around in kief. The more kief you can aquire for this process the better because you want this bud absolutely covered. Your nug will be totally unrecognizable at this point - that is GREAT!
Go find something else to do for a while cause you need your Moon Rock to dry a little bit. How long is up to you really.
What else is left? SMOKE IT!

Moon Rocks are a THC lovers paradise. Moon Rock weed may be one of the newer additions to the cannabis community but it is a very welcomed one! You may not have tried it yet, but at least now if you do, you will know what you are getting yourself into.

Be safe, and hit that!
