The Step By Step Guide To Consuming Moon Rocks

There are levels to cannabis consumption: a microdose, a regular dose, and a mega dose. When you want a mega dose of THC, reach for moon rocks. Here’s what you need to know about how to use moon rocks.

What are moon rocks?

Moon rocks, sometimes spelled moonrock as one word and sometimes called cannabis caviar, are cannabis flower dipped or coated in kief or concentrate. They are quite potent, especially when compared to flower. Moon rocks typically contain 50%+ THC, reaching levels of potency that’s often reserved for cannabis concentrates.

What are moon rocks made of?

Moon rocks are made of THC, layered with more THC.

To make moon rocks, cannabis manufacturers start with a nug of flower. That flower is dipped in cannabis concentrate, like hash oil or bubble hash, and then rolled or coated in another concentrate. Historically, this is keif, but it could be any concentrate.

The history of moon rocks

Legend has it that moon rocks made their first appearance at a dispensary in California in the 2010s as the result of a partnership between rapper Kurupt and Dr. Zodiak. The original moon rocks were made with Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) flower.

How to prep and consume moon rocks

Moon rocks are thick, greasy nugs that can be challenging to consume if you’re not familiar with them. Break these up by hand or even a small pair of scissors, since the thick layers of concentrate will gunk up the teeth of a grinder.

Since the base of moon rocks is a nug of cannabis flower, the best way to consume this product is by inhaling it. You can use a dry herb vaporizer, but trying moon rocks in a glass bowl or water pipe like a bong is the traditional method.

The easiest way to smoke moon rocks is by layering them in with traditional cannabis flower. This allows for a more even burn, larger rips, and a smooth smoking experience. Glass is preferred as it is easier to keep lit and moon rocks are quite sticky, but you can roll them in a joint if you want.

Smoking moon rocks with a bowl, step-by-step

1. Pack a bowl about halfway with ground cannabis flower. Ensure that this flower is packed well, not loosely.

2. Gently break up your moon rocks by hand.

3. Sprinkle a small amount of the moon rocks in the bowl.

4. Cover the moon rocks with another layer of flower.

5. Light and enjoy.

Smoking moon rocks with a joint, step by step

1. Grind your weed and lay it out in the joint as usual. (This works best with large joints. It is not ideal for cones.)

2. Gently break up your moon rocks and sprinkle a small amount on the cannabis flower.

3. Roll up carefully. Be sure not to knock the moon rocks out of the middle of the joint or it will have a hard time staying lit and may burn unevenly.

4. Light and enjoy.

Why try Moon Rocks?

Why do people try these kief-y concoctions? Mostly for fun and to get really, really high.

They’re very, very potent

As the name suggests, moon rocks are a one-way ticket to outer space. A little bit goes a long way, and the effects last much longer than with traditional cannabis flower. If you’re someone who likes an intense, long-lasting high, you’ll love moon rocks.

They’re quite flavorful

With multiple layers of cannabis flower and concentrates, the flavor of moon rocks is complex. You get a bouquet of aromas that lead to a unique flavor unlike anything else in a dispensary. The clean taste of hash, the delicate aroma of the flower: all of it adds up to an incredible experience for all of your senses.

They’re a potent smoking experience for high-tolerance consumers

If you’ve been consuming cannabis for a while or have a high tolerance, moon rocks will take you a new level of high. Experienced cannabis users looking for a novel product can find something totally unique in each moon rock that cuts through the tolerance.

Tips and best practices for first-timers

Beginners beware: moon rocks are not for cannabis newbies. These highly potent products are best suited for people who have been high before, enjoy being high, and have a high THC tolerance. If too much THC makes you feel on edge, it’s best to try regular flower instead.

Start low. Moon rocks deliver an intense, heavy-hitting experience. Approach these with caution and start with a very small amount. You will feel it.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before your sesh. Prior to smoking, fill a water bottle and place it next to you so you don’t have to do anything but drink once the high hits.

Eat first. Don’t start your sesh on an empty stomach. Have a small meal or a balanced snack before enjoying moon rocks.

Be comfy. Moon rocks should be enjoyed in a comfortable environment, like on your couch or your friend’s couch. (“Couch” is the theme here.)

Tips for consuming moon rocks

If you’ve never had a moon rock before, start with a very small amount. Break apart your moon rocks and add a light sprinkle to your bowl (think less than “cinnamon on toast” kind of sprinkle.) You will feel the effects of these products very quickly, so it’s a good idea to get a feel for how a small amount affects you before trying more.

Allow for enough time between moon rock smoke sessions. These highly potent products can linger for up to 12 hours, much longer than your traditional cannabis flower. This isn’t an everyday flower or vape — save it for a special occasion.

And finally, buy moon rocks from a licensed dispensary. These products are incredibly strong, and you need to know that every component of the product has been tested for potency and quality. Moon rocks from the unlicensed market may contain ingredients not approved by the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) for use in legal cannabis products.

How to store moon rocks

Store your moon rocks in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. The layers of concentrates on top of the flower can melt if they get too warm and turn the whole thing into a sticky, gummy mess. Keeping your moon rocks stored in the back of a temperature-stable cabinet is a good way to enjoy them for the length of their shelf life.
