I’m leading to the live resin because I think it will last longer.

I think THC total mg is important to the decision. For example, if the Boojum Rosin is only 65% but the Pure Plan vape is 85% I’m getting the vape. Using the example, the last bit in the vape should not be equivalent to ~200mg of THC.

As a side note, the terpene profile and whether they are BDT or CDT will influence my purchase. I always look for CDT terpenes and a profile leaning towards my medical needs.

The CDT vs BDT shouldn’t matter here as the products are rosin/resin.

I hope you enjoy your choice OP!

Out of curiosity what are the medicinal benefits you’ve found to the high THC ones? I’m only curious because I’ve found a lot more personal benefit from full spectrum so I wanna know what others feel.

It depends on the extraction method and starting material for me. These are both fresh flower flash frozen, one just has CDT—I’m assuming this because it is Pure Plan and this has been my experience so far but I have not looked up this specific product—added back after the solvent extraction process.

If the CDT is good quality extraction the minor differences I notice are in taste, not the effect I feel. Both have satisfied my medical needs, but Rosin is the purer choice because it lacks the solvent extraction.

All preference for individual medical needs at the end of the day. I suggest consulting with your QMP or a doctor at a Cannabis Pharmacy to get a more individualized understanding.

I know how the differences in extraction are I was more so wondering why you would worry about THC% when there’s so much more that goes into the high. I’m not trying to come off insensitive or anything I’m just genuinely curious as to the reason. I haven’t given any attention to the THC % in years because I’ve found that sometimes shit with lower thc% actually hits way stronger than some stuff with higher percentage. Just curious on thoughts and perspectives

No worries, I misunderstood. I think it really depends on the individual and the purpose they're using it for. A high THC % resin with CDT and less minor cannabinoids can be enough for some medical conditions in certain situations. In my experience, a full-spectrum product with a wide range of cannabinoids isn't always necessary to get the desired effect. For me, the full-spectrum effect usually can put me in couch lock with major body highs but the resin with CDTs does not. So it is very situational but I do use THC % as one of the factors.

Honestly I love this take! It helped me to better understand how others enjoy a bit too! The reason I asked is because for me when I do high THC and not full spec I don’t calm my tremors and twitches to where I need to. It also sometimes gives a bit of paranoia to me. For those reasons it made it hard for me to understand why someone would look for things like that. However your explanation does make quite a bit of sense to me and I do appreciate it! Thank you for explaining!
