Heisenberg Live Resin Mango Haze

Live resin, the form of this Heisenberg Mango Haze concentrate, is made from plants frozen the moment they are cut, with drying and curing skipped entirely. As for the strain, Leafly lists Mango Haze as a sativa and AllBud as a 50/50 hybrid, and both trace it to Haze, Skunk and Northern Lights #5.

Freezing at harvest to keep terpenes

The reason to skip drying and curing is terpenes: a plant frozen at the moment of harvest keeps more of the terpenes it carried while fresh. Anyone curious about the method can read our live resin explainer, which also weighs it against other extracts.

Rosin is another thing entirely: heat and pressure press it out, and no solvent is involved. Our article on live resin versus live rosin sets out how the two compare.

Terpinolene first, then myrcene and caryophyllene

On Leafly, the most abundant terpene in Mango Haze is terpinolene, which Leafly describes as fruity. Myrcene ranks second and caryophyllene third. Leafly connects the strain with mango in its aroma and flavour, and its flavour tags add tropical and tree fruit. AllBud, for its part, describes a sweet mango smell with a touch of haze.

Live resin and first-time users

Extracts such as wax, shatter, kief and hash are high in THC according to Health Canada, and live resin is an extract too. Newcomers, and anyone whose cannabis use is only occasional, are steered away from that whole group in its lower-risk advice. Driving comes up separately in its lower-risk guidelines: after Mango Haze live resin, as after any cannabis, at least 6 hours should pass before taking the wheel.
