THCA Moonrocks vs. CBD Moonrocks vs. Delta 8 Moonrocks

Did you know that more people are seeking out cannabis flower alternatives?  Well, now you do.  You see, users crave added cannabis derivatives in order to boost the potency of specific compounds.  Easily, one of the most popular is moonrocks, which get their name from their opaque coating that makes them look like small moons. 

Moonrocks can be made with any dominant cannabinoid, but rather than going through all of them, we will simply be comparing “the big three,”: CBD moonrocks, Delta 8 moonrocks, and THCA moonrocks.

What Exactly are Moonrocks?

Moonrocks have been around for a while, but they’re really taking off right now as it’s become easier to buy hemp-derived cannabis flower online.  The premise is pretty simple: take cannabis flower, infuse it with a distillate of any cannabinoid, and coat it in kief (a naturally occurring cannabis byproduct that has a powdery texture).  It results from friction between cannabis flower buds, in which the resinous trichomes turn into a dust and fall off.  These trichomes happen to contain the plant’s cannabinoids and terpenes, so this once overlooked byproduct has become extremely valuable.

Moonrocks are naturally going to have higher levels of cannabinoids and terpenes than raw flower.  The distillate, too, gives the cannabinoid a boost of its dominant cannabinoid, whether that be delta 8 THC, CBD, THCA, or so on.  Overall, moonrocks exist to offer a more potent form of a specific type of cannabis flower product.

Going Straight to the Hemp Moon with These Moonrocks Choices!

Time to launch into the different types of moonrocks, specifically, the “big 3” that are available on the hemp marketplace.  

Contender #1: CBD Moonrocks

First, we have CBD moonrocks, which consist of hemp flower, infused with CBD distillate, and coated in CBD flower kief.  Of course, the major defining feature of CBD moonrocks is that they’re nonintoxicating.  People who opt for CBD moonrocks aren’t trying to get high, but rather, they’re trying to experience the potential benefits of hemp, and CBD in particular.  CBD moonrocks are great for offering relief from things like stress and physical discomfort, without any psychoactive effects.

CBD moonrocks are going to usually come in a more limited selection of strains, since CBD flower typically doesn’t come in as wide of a variety of strain options.  And, keep in mind that CBD moonrocks are infused with CBD distillate, as if they were infused with another type of distillate, they would no longer be CBD moonrocks.

We also want to point out that sometimes, CBD moonrocks are crafted with CBG flower – a hemp flower type that’s harvested slightly earlier than CBD flower, as CBG dominates the hemp plant prior to maturing.  CBG, like CBD, is nonintoxicating, and the CBG flower is infused with CBD distillate before being coated in CBD kief.

Pros:

• High CBD Content: Ideal for those seeking intense relief from pain, anxiety, inflammation, and other conditions without the high associated with THC.
• Efficiency: Due to their potency, a small amount can provide the desired effects, making them cost-effective in the long run.
• Flavor and Experience: The combination of hemp flower, hash oil, and kief can offer a unique and enjoyable flavor profile and smoking experience.
• Versatility: Can be used in various ways, including smoking in a pipe or bong, vaporizing, or even breaking down to add to edibles.
• Non-Intoxicating: Provides the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without significant psychoactive effects, making it suitable for day-time use or for those who wish to avoid getting high.

Cons:

• Potency Variances: The concentration of CBD and other cannabinoids can vary widely, making it challenging to dose consistently.
• Cost: Initially more expensive than other CBD products due to the complex production process.
• Preparation Required: Often requires breaking down or grinding before use, which can be inconvenient for some users.
• Lack of Regulation: The market for CBD products, including moonrocks, is relatively unregulated, leading to potential inconsistencies in quality and safety.

Contender #2: Delta 8 Moonrocks

Delta 8 THC is a mild psychoactive component of hemp, naturally occurring in the plant material, and completely legal.  Delta 8 is, in fact, a byproduct of delta 9 THC, as the plant ages.  Delta 8 is a different cannabinoid, and its effects are 30% as intoxicating as those of delta 9 THC, while being considered more sedating than delta 9’s high.

Delta 8 flower does not exist in nature, like hemp flower or marijuana flower.  That’s because delta 8 THC is a very trace cannabinoid, making up about 0.1% of the plant’s entire chemical composition.  So, to craft delta 8 flower, delta 8 distillate is infused into hemp flower, which on its own has no intoxicating qualities.  Then, the flower buds are coated in a layer of kief, to bring up the terpene and cannabinoid content.

Delta 8 moonrocks will get you high, but they will not get you high as THCA flower, which is the next one that we’ll be covering.  As you’ll see, delta 8 moonrocks offer something of a middle ground, and they’re great for those users who are only just starting to get into psychoactive hemp products.

Pros:

• Potent Effects: Known for delivering a strong, yet less intense high compared to delta 9, making them appealing for those seeking a middle ground.
• Therapeutic Benefits: Offers many of the same potential benefits as CBD, but with the added euphoric effects of delta 8.
• Legal in Some Areas: It’s legal in some jurisdictions where delta 9 isn’t, offering a legal way to experience THC’s effects.
• Versatility: Can be smoked, vaped, or even used to make edibles, providing users with a variety of consumption methods.
• Milder Psychoactive Effects: Often preferred by those who find delta 9 to be too intense, providing a more manageable ‘high’.

Cons:

• Legal Ambiguity: On the other side of the coin in terms of legality, delta 8’s legal status is in a grey area in many places across the country, thus being subject to changing laws and regulations.
• Potency Variances: Like CBD moonrocks, the potency can vary, making it difficult to dose consistently.
• Cost: Typically, more expensive than traditional flower or other hemp products due to the manufacturing process.
• Limited Availability: Not as widely available as other cannabis products, which can make them hard to find depending on your location.
• Lack of Regulation: The market for delta 8 products, including moonrocks, is relatively unregulated, leading to potential inconsistencies in quality and safety.

Contender #3: THCA Moonrocks

THCA moonrocks are probably the most popular of the pack.  They consist of THCA flower that has been infused with THCA distillate, then coated in THCA flower kief.  Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is the raw form of delta 9 THC, and when heated, it becomes delta 9.  So, THCA moonrocks, and THCA flower for that matter, are actually giving you pretty much the same ‘high” as weed.

Question: how are THCA moonrocks made?  Well, it starts with cultivating THCA flower buds.  Industrial hemp can naturally yield high amounts of THCA through specific growing practices, in which the conditions to which the plant is exposed are manipulated so that a high amount of THCA ends up in the flower buds.  The flower buds are harvested, and then given the “moonrocks” treatment with the help of distillate and kief.

THCA moonrocks are the best product for someone who wants a high that’s as close to weed as possible.  In fact, THCA flower is chemically identical to marijuana flower, hence its incredible popularity.

Pros:

• High Potency: Offers a concentrated form of cannabis that is high in THCA, leading to strong effects once decarboxylated.
• Pure Experience: Provides a clean and terpene-rich experience due to the use of high-quality flower and concentrates.
• Versatile Uses: Can be smoked, vaporized, or used in cooking to decarboxylate the THCA into THC, offering various methods of consumption.
• Long-Lasting Effects: The high concentration of THCA ensures that the effects are potent and enduring, ideal for chronic pain and other severe conditions.
• Therapeutic Potential: THCA has been shown to have its own therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, without the psychoactive effects of THC.

Cons:

• Cost: Due to the premium nature of the product and the manufacturing process, THCA moonrocks can be quite expensive.
• Potency May Be Too High for Some: The high levels of THCA can lead to very potent effects once converted to THC, which may be overwhelming for some users.
• Preparation and Usage: Requires a bit more knowledge and preparation for use compared to regular flower, as it needs to be decarboxylated for full effects.
• Limited Availability: Not as readily available as other cannabis products, it may be hard to find depending on your region and local cannabis market.
• Regulation and Quality Control: As with many cannabis products, the lack of standardization and regulation can lead to variability in quality and potency.

What’s the Top Option for Someone Looking to Take Hemp Flower to the Next Level?

At the end of the day, THCA moonrocks are probably the best choice of the three cannabinoids.  Again, that’s because most hemp enthusiasts are looking for a product that comes close to marijuana.  THCA moonrocks offer that and more, with an even stronger serving of THCA, which again converts into delta 9 THC when the product is heated, like through smoking.

Bloomz is very excited to introduce THCA Moonrocks, available in several strains, and offer only the finest, freshest, and most potent hemp derivatives possible: our organic THCA flower, our 99% pure THCA distillate, and freshly harvested kief.  If you’re ready to take your THCA flower to the next level, you know where to go!
