In general, the THC content of resin that's built up in a bong or pipe is quite low. And while there may be some residual THC in resin, it will taste harsh and contain more tar than useful compounds.
In short, smoking resin found in a bong is something people do, but the risks outweigh the benefits. Regardless of whether it is derived from cannabis or another source, smoking tar is harmful.
You may not have experienced any dangerous side effects if you've taken resin hits from your pipe or bowl once or twice in a pinch. But it's probably worth waiting until you get some more flower or concentrate, rather than smoking something with minimal THC content that's also worse for your lungs. Place your pipe or bowl in a sealable plastic bag and fill it with rubbing alcohol until the entire piece is submerged. Add a teaspoon of table salt sodium chloride or Epsom salt magnesium sulfate , either of which will act as a scrubber or sponge for the resin.
Leave the pipe or bowl to soak in the bag for about 12 hours, giving the alcohol enough time to dissolve the resin. Rubbing alcohol is also a fast and effective method for removing resin from your hands. Rubbing your fingers with vegetable or olive oil may also safely remove resin and be more gentle on your skin.
Leftover resin does not contain very much THC. Instead, the sticky resin that builds up in your pipes, bowls, vaporizers, and bongs is mostly tar, ash, and carbon — all by-products of the combustion process. Ultimately, leftover resin does contain some THC, and you might even feel a little bit high after smoking it, but compared to flower and concentrates, the leftover resin is very low in THC and the health risks outweigh the benefits.
Yes, it's possible to consume pipe resin using a vaporizer. However, similar to smoking resin, you're unlikely to get a sufficient amount of cannabinoids and terpenes. Putting resin in your vaporizer may also gunk it up and negatively impact the smell and taste of your vape hits.

How resin is made varies depending on the type of resin.
Techniques range from simple application of pressure and heat to complex processes requiring expensive lab equipment and trained technicians. The extraction process is meant to remove as many of the impurities, namely fats and lipids, as possible from the product. Typical resin is the substance left behind after using a pipe or bong a few times without cleaning your tools. It has very little THC and cannabinoids , and is generally only smoked out of pure desperation.
Live resin is a concentrate which is high in terpenes and other cannabis material. Terpenes are what give cannabis its full-bodied aroma.
Cannabis users who enjoy strong aroma and the medical efficacy of terpenes tend to prefer live resin. Other types include:. These types also come in different forms. These forms are: saps, shatters, crumbles, butters, distillates, kief, ice water extract, and dry sift.
Be sure to use a dabber tool to get the live resin into the oven or bowl of the dab pen. Then just adjust the temperature, press the button, and inhale. Keep live resin cool and in an air-tight container, preferably in a fridge if you can.
This will preserve the terpenes and keep it tasting and smelling great for a while. Leaving it out in the open with the lid off will expose it to air, light, and heat, which will degrade the terpenes and make it less flavorful.
This will also cause it to dry out and harden, making it difficult to handle. Live resins have come quite a long way since their inception. Although live resins are still sold at a higher premium than other concentrate products, nowadays live resin prices are much more affordable and most dispensaries carry a range of options.
Live resins can differ slightly in consistency—although they sit between waxes and sauces, some can be more like saps, sugars, or jellies. The amount of terpenes in a live resin can affect viscosity, and some only contain lighter terpenes such as pinene and myrcene. Variations can also occur because some extraction processes fail to capture all terpenes. Concentrates can also be mechanically altered post-extraction, such as when saps are whipped into butters, creating different consistencies.
Live resin is relatively new to the cannabis concentrate scene. Its humble origins go back to with a small group of growers and extractors in Colorado. Live resin is created by putting frozen cannabis plants through a solvent extraction, which uses a chemical such as butane or propane. Live rosin is solventless—it uses heat and pressure to remove trichomes from the plant, usually through a press.
