Weed Moon Rocks vs Hemp Moon Rocks: What you need to know about our Hemp Asteroids aka Moon Rocks

In the cannabis world, moon rocks are like top-notch caviar: pricey, high-quality, and an exceptionally special experience. Our Asteroids are similar to moon rocks, except that they’re made with hemp, not cannabis. This means that, while smoking moon rocks get you super-duper high, Asteroids are extremely relaxing and potentially sedating. So, what are moon rocks weed, and Asteroids?

Great as an occasional treat, Asteroids are a unique hemp product that contains a high percentage of CBD and an interesting terpene profile. They’re perfect for hemp connoisseurs who’d like a more potent experience.

Here’s what you need to know about Asteroids, and how they differ from moon rocks.

What are moon rocks?

Moon rocks are powerful little nuggets of cannabis, brimming with cannabinoids and terpenes. Essentially, they are cannabis buds that are covered in the distillate, which is a sticky substance made of concentrated cannabis oil that is incredibly potent.

After the sticky stuff is on the cannabis bud, the bud is then dusted with kief - those tiny, sticky bits of resin that are found all over a cannabis flower. Because the resin is where most of the cannabinoids and terpenes are found, kief is effective, aromatic, and flavorful.

What you have then is a cannabis bud covered with a layer of distillate and then a layer of kief, giving you an extremely potent, highly concentrated dose of cannabinoids and terpenes. Leafly estimates that most moon rocks are around 50 percent THC, while a normal, strong bud is between 17 and 28 percent THC.

As you can imagine, moon rocks are quite pricey - but a small amount goes a long way, so it works out to be cost-effective for many buyers to buy moon rocks as they’ll only use a tiny amount at a time.

What sets Black Tie CBD’s Asteroids apart from moon rocks?

We’ve taken the much-loved moon rock and improved on it to create our one-of-a-kind Asteroids. While Asteroids are structurally the same as moon rocks, they produce a very different effect.

Instead of cannabis flower and cannabis-based distillate and kief, we make Asteroids from hemp-based ingredients, creating a non-intoxicating, low THC version of moon rocks. This means that Asteroids are low in THC and high in CBD. You will like smoking moon rocks Asteroid because the light smoke moon rocks will have new sensations.

When creating Asteroids strain, we took care to avoid certain problems that usually pop up with moon rocks. There are two major problems with combining distillate and rolled in kief on a bud. Firstly, the concentrate unlike kief (distillate) sometimes seeps into the bud and loses its ability to properly bind the kief to the bud, and the kief falls off before it even reaches the customer. Secondly, after a week or two, the kief and oil mix and create black-looking spots on the exterior, which are less than appealing. Since few people smoke moon rocks weed as an everyday event, chances are the rocks moon will start spotting before you use it up.

Our cannabis flower Asteroids do not include typical cannabis distillate or hash oil. Instead, we use a binding hash oil agent that we call Iso-Glue. Iso-Glue is CBD Isolate that has been slowly heated so that it becomes sticky. We liberally coat the hemp buds in Iso-Glue. Once the buds are sufficiently coated, we hand-pack the buds with CBD kief. Once the Iso-Glue cools off, it hardens to create a layer of crystalized isolate, binding the kief to the weed flower.

Our most recent batch of cannabis products Asteroids are made with quality Chem Dawg hemp flowers that are coated in Iso-Glue and and then hand packed with Blueberry Pie kief. Cannabis bud Chem Dawg is a great weed strain for relaxing and socializing, and weed bud has notes of hops, cinnamon, pine, wood, and chamomile. Blueberry Pie is also used for relaxation and reportedly for pain management.

Overall, our cannabis smoke flower Asteroids have dominant aromas and substantial effects. The certificate of analysis, compiled by an independent, third-party lab, notes that the makeup of Asteroids cannabis products is not high THC Δ9 0.29% and 32.92% Total CBD.

In short, Asteroids are different from moon rocks weed because:

• Asteroids are high in CBD and low in THC. This means that the asteroids cannabis will not be intoxicating, although it will likely make you feel relaxed and perhaps sleepy.
• Asteroids flower are a little less sticky than normal moon rocks, as the Iso-Glue dries and hardens while distillate does not.
• As CBD is often used for medicinal purposes, Asteroids might be a better choice than moon rocks for people looking for those benefits.
• While black spots appear on moon rocks after a while, they will not appear on our Asteroids.
• Medical Kief often falls off moon rocks, but it binds far better on the Asteroids because of the Iso-Glue.

Whether you choose Asteroids or smoke moon rocks is up to you. It depends entirely on how you want to feel and what you want out of the experience. If you live in a legal state, you can always opt for both!
