That's why in this post we tell you everything you need to know about them: how they're prepared, the different types that exist, and what makes them so attractive to the most demanding cannabis consumers. Keep reading so you don't miss anything!

What Are Moon Rocks?

Moon Rocks or Moon Rock Weed are a highly potent cannabis product that has gained popularity for its appearance and intense effects. They are made from marijuana buds coated with concentrate (usually oil or BHO) and sprinkled with kief (powdered trichomes), resulting in a cannabis "rock" with a crystalline appearance and above-average potency.

It is believed that their origin dates back to the cannabis scene in California, where artists such as Kurupt and Dr. Zodiak popularized these potent "space gems." Since then, their fame has crossed borders and has sparked interest among all types of consumers.

How to Make Them?

The process of making moon rocks is artisanal and requires high-quality products. To create your own moon rocks at home, you need:

• Marijuana buds (preferably dense).
• Cannabis concentrate (oil, wax, or BHO).
• Kief or powdered resin.

Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Soak the bud in the concentrate (it can be slightly heated to facilitate coverage).
2. Thoroughly coat the bud in kief.
3. Let dry for a few hours before storing or consuming.

This method guarantees a product with high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes, ideal for those seeking an intense and lasting experience.

Types of Moon Rocks

CBD Moon Rock

CBD-rich moon rocks are made with non-psychoactive varieties. They are ideal for therapeutic users looking for relief from pain, inflammation, or anxiety, without the psychoactive effects of THC. Although their appearance is identical to traditional moon rocks, their effect is more relaxing and gentle.

THC Moon Rock

These are the most well-known. They usually contain more than 50% THC, making them one of the most potent products on the market. They are recommended only for experienced users, due to the intensity of their physical and mental effects.

Other Types

Currently, there are hybrid variants that mix CBD and THC, and even flavored versions with added terpenes to offer specific sensory experiences such as citrus, floral, or earthy. There are also CBG moon rocks and other emerging cannabinoids.

Tips for Consuming Moon Rock

Moon rocks, due to their potency, should be consumed with caution. They are not recommended for beginners or those who do not tolerate high doses of THC. Therefore, we recommend that you follow our advice:

• Use a manual grinder (avoid electric ones, as they can break down the kief).
• Smoke in pipes or bongs to maximize their concentration.
• Combine them with dry flowers for more uniform combustion.

Who Are They Recommended For?

This product is designed for experienced users who want an intense experience, as well as consumers who require high doses of cannabinoids. It is also ideal for people with a high tolerance to THC or those looking for an exceptionally potent product for specific or special moments.

What Effects Do Moon Rocks Have?

The effects of moon rocks depend on the cannabinoid profile they contain, but they are usually:

• Potent: their high THC content causes a rapid and lasting sensation of euphoria.
• Relaxing: the CBD present in some versions provides a calming effect.
• Sensory: they amplify the senses, increasing the perception of music, taste, or touch.
• Sedative: in high doses they can induce a "knock-out" effect.

We recommend consuming them in safe environments and with free time, as the effects can last for hours.

Are Moon Rocks Legal in Spain?

In Spain, legislation distinguishes between THC and CBD:

• Moon rocks with THC are not legal for human consumption. They can be sold as collectibles or for decorative purposes if they contain less than 0.2% THC.
• Moon rocks with CBD can be legally acquired under these same conditions.

In Other Countries?

Legality varies depending on the country:

• USA: legal in states where recreational cannabis is approved.
• Germany and Switzerland: versions with low THC content are allowed.
• Latin America: countries such as Uruguay and Mexico allow their commercialization under certain regulations.

It is essential to review local legislation before buying or consuming moon rocks, as regulations can vary significantly between countries and even regions. Nevertheless, moon rocks represent one of the most potent and unique products in the cannabis universe. Their composition offers an intense experience that should only be explored by informed consumers with some tolerance. Whether in their THC-rich version or in therapeutic formats with CBD, moon rocks are an excellent option for those looking for something beyond the conventional.
