Moon Rocks: A Beginner’s Guide to Smoking Them

Have you ever felt so elevated that even touching your eyebrows couldn’t register? If not, give smoking moon rocks a shot, and I guarantee you’ll reach that level. Two months after my first puff, I was still searching for my facial features. (Totally worth it, by the way.)

What are moon rocks? Well, their origin story is a bit hazy, but the word on the street is that the dispensary Starbudz760 might’ve cooked up the idea, with famous West Coast rapper Kurupt making them famous and even trademarking his version called Kurupt Moonrock.

Moon rocks are like THC powerhouses: they’re cannabis buds soaked in hash oil, then coated in kief. Typically made with GSC, any strain could work.

Now, how strong are moon rocks? Well, it varies from batch to batch, but they generally pack around 50% THC, while regular weed averages around 20%. Each hit is practically its own adventure.

What are moonrocks? And the high? Let me tell you, it starts in your head and spreads through your whole body, right down to your toes. It’s a gradual ascent to a peak you might not be prepared for.

I once smoked a gram of moon rock weed at 5 pm, and when I woke up the next day at 7 am, I was still lost on Mars, waiting for a ride back to Earth.

Creating Your Own Moon Rocks at Home

While traditional moon rocks use GSC flowers and/or concentrate, you can customize your own. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Buds from your preferred strain.
• Liquid concentrate or hash oil.
• Kief collected from your grinder.
• Tongs or a similar tool for handling.
• Liquid dropper.

Step 1: Choose dense buds of your favorite strain.

Step 3: Roll the coated buds in kief until completely covered.

Step 4: Allow your moon rocks to dry thoroughly before enjoying.
