Buy Kurupt’s Moon Rock

Marijuana moon rocks are basically the “champagne” of the pot world. Some people even call them cannabis caviar.

They’re made up of different pot products that are all rolled into one very potent nug and smoked.

They became a thing when West Coast rapper Kurupt brought it to people’s attention and eventually trademarked his own brand of moon rocks.

As for the name, they do look like moon rocks. But their ability to send even the most seasoned cannabis consumer flying extra high might have something to do with it, too.

HOW ARE THEY MADE?

Moon rocks are made by taking a nugget of marijuana and dipping it in or spraying it with concentrate, or hash oil.

They’re usually made with Girl Scout Cookies (the weed strain, not Thin Mints) flower and concentrate, but can be made with any strain.

The coated nugget is then rolled in kief. Kief, also called pollen or dry sift, is the sticky crystals that cover the cannabis flower. This crystal residue contains terpenes and cannabinoids.

HOW STRONG ARE THEY?

It varies from batch to batch. The potency depends on how it’s made, who’s making it, and the ingredients used.

Moon rocks typically hover around 50 percent THC, according to Leafly. To help put that into perspective, popular strains found in dispensaries typically range from 17 to 28 percentTrusted Source THC.

HOW ARE THEY CONSUMED?

You can smoke moon rocks like you would any other nug, by breaking it up into a joint, bowl, vape, or pipe. Keeping it lit isn’t easy, and it’s also super dense and greasy, so glassware like a bong or pipe is the preferred way.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS?

Moon rocks are potent. People who’ve indulged describe big, full, fragrant smoke clouds and a rich and pleasant taste of kief.

THC is the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis and mainly responsible for producing the “high.” Given that moon rocks contain considerably higher levels of THC, the effects are more pronounced than what you experience from run-of-the-mill cannabis products.

The severity of the effects depend on a few things, including the strain used and your tolerance. Someone who’s not used to high THC cannabis tends to have more intense effects. Using large amounts also increases the intensity of the effects.

Here are some of the common effects of moon rocks:

dizziness
increased heart rate
anxiety
paranoia
sleepiness
headaches
dry mouth
impaired memory
dry, red eyes
cough or other respiratory issues
extreme hunger, aka the munchies

HOW LONG DO THEY TAKE TO KICK IN?

They produce a slow burn with some immediate effects that really kick into high gear about 30 minutes in.

Based on people’s reviews, you can expect your buzz to linger for several hours or even into the next day if you’re new to moon rocks or high-THC strains.
