One of the best features of dabbing live resin is that the effects kick in faster than anything you’ve experienced before. We’re not sure what it is, but something to do with the terpene fidelity combined with the massive THC potency allows live resin dabs to hit you so quickly you should make sure you’re sitting down beforehand.
The packaging that Raw Garden live resin dabs come in is pretty much ideal. The label seals a small, cardboard box that neatly nestles the standard acrylic dab container inside.
Everything used in Raw Garden dab packaging is either recyclable or reusable. We find ourselves coming up with dozens of ways to reuse the old dab containers. It’s clear that Raw Garden thought about sustainability quite a bit more than the average brand when developing its packaging.
The labels on Raw Garden dabs are excellent. A QR code leads directly to the extremely detailed lab report for the exact batch of extract you’re dabbing. Plus, at the top of the label are three keywords you can use to determine which strain is right for you.
For instance, Pacific Passion (Indica) was labeled TROPICAL, FLORAL, and EARTHY. These flavor descriptions definitely checked out once we started dabbing.
Cannabis extracts have come a long way over the last decade. From being completely unknown to becoming the gold standard, live resin has revolutionized the cannabis industry worldwide, and nowhere more so than at the epicenter of the cannabis revolution, California.
California weed has done to the world of cannabis what California wineries did to the world of wine. Raw Garden is the cream of the crop — there’s no live resin more pure or flavorful than this. Raw Garden takes great care in selecting and breeding its strains.
From the initial aroma when you open the jar to the blissful inhale and the smooth exhale, Raw Garden is a step above anything else we’ve tried. The aftertaste left behind is a benefit, not a detractor since it suffuses your mouth with a pleasant aroma reminiscent of the dab you just took.
The packaging date on our Raw Garden Pacific Passion live resin was 3/29/23. When we opened the live resin two months after the packaging date, the concentrate was extremely fresh. THC dabs have an average shelf life of one year.

Founded in 2015, Raw Garden is a premier, organic cannabis producer focusing on live resin extracts that adheres to international standards of sustainability. To make its live resin, Raw Garden starts with organic cannabis grown in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country and then extracts it using a solvent-free process that never introduces any contaminants.
If you’re at all concerned about contaminants or diluents in Raw Garden dabs, all you have to do is look at the lab reports provided by SC Labs, one of the most respected names in the business. In addition to terpenes and cannabinoids, Raw Garden also commissioned SC to list out the concentrations of every single common contaminant, a pricey add-on. The thoroughness of their lab reports alone is proof that Raw Garden means serious business.

Still curious about Raw Garden’s live resin? Learn more in the following FAQ section:
The primary difference between Raw Garden Live Resin and Raw Garden Live Resin Sauce is the consistency, but the terpene content is also usually considerably higher in sauce than it is in resin. As the name indicates, live resin sauce has a more-liquid consistency, and it doesn’t have the granular texture that live resin can sometimes exhibit.
Raw Garden Live Resin is usually higher-potency than Raw Garden Live Resin Sauce, but potency varies between strains. What you’ll notice with Raw Garden Live Resin Sauce is a louder flavor that might be just what you were craving.
Live resin is made by flash-freezing cannabis plants right after they are harvested and removing the terpenes. This prevents terpenes from oxidizing, which reduces their flavor.
Due to purification processes that must take place, THC is separated from terpenes during live resin extraction and then recombined later. The result is the most flavorful form of cannabis extract known to man.
Live resin is a type of cannabis extract produced by freezing plants at harvest and removing the terpenes with solvents. Live rosin, on the other hand, is a solvent-free type of concentrate that is sometimes prepared simply by pressing cannabis plants after harvest. Purists insist that live rosin is the best option, but it’s admittedly not as high-potency as live resin.
Live resin sugar is a crumbly type of live resin extract named for its textural similarities to unrefined sugar. This texture is simply due to a specific balance of terpenes and cannabinoids combined with an unusual preparation process. Some users prefer the high terpene content of live resin sugar.
As far as live resin cannabis brands go, STIIIZY is more in your face and projects confidence. Under the hood, though, their lab reports are pretty rudimentary, and all of that marketing starts to seem like it was designed to compensate for a questionable product lineup.
Raw Garden, on the other hand, is genuine and honest through and through. Its live resin dabs taste better, and its lab reports are phenomenal. If you have to pick between the two, Raw Garden is a no-brainer since its dabs often actually cost less than STIIIZYs.
