How to Smoke Moonrocks

You’ve heard the buzz surrounding moonrocks and decided to pick some up and try them for yourself. But just how much do you really know about them? If you’re like many people, you aren’t well-versed in smoking moonrocks and could use a crash course in learning how. 

But before we jump right into smoking them, a little background is always helpful. Let’s begin by exploring what moonrocks actually are and how they are made.

What are moonrocks?

Moonrocks are a rather innovative form of weed that offers all of the best benefits of marijuana rolled into one tiny nugget. It starts out as a high-quality bud that is then trimmed up and dipped into concentrated cannabis. 

The last step involves the nugget being dusted with kief, the sticky crystals that connoisseurs look for on really good marijuana plants.

If all goes well throughout the making-of process, moonrocks will be mouthwatering in their appearance and give you buzz that’s out of this world.

Moonrocks are so effective in their potency that they are sought after by all who have been fortunate enough to experience them. With that being said, however, moonrocks should be approached with respect and consumed with care.

How potent are moonrocks?

The potency can vary among batches. But by and large, they are going to deliver a jaw-dropping level of THC that is typically somewhere around 50%. To give you some perspective, most marijuana purchased from a respectable dispensary is around 20% THC.

Knowing this, it’s important not to use too much of your moonrock at one time. Smoking only a small amount is enough for most people to enjoy a killer buzz. What’s more, you can look forward to your buzz lasting for quite some time. So be sure that you don’t have anything important to do before you start smoking.

How do you smoke moonrocks?

Smoking moonrocks is quite different from traditional marijuana. First things first. You never want to grind up your moonrocks. Whereas you typically stick a nugget of weed in a grinder to break it up into smaller, more manageable pieces, doing so with your moonrock will have negative effect.

The same is true if you were to use your fingers. When you break it up this way, you are likely to lose its potent concentrate, as well as its kief. 

Instead, you want to equip yourself with a sharp razor blade and carefully carve off small sections from the moonrock. This will give you something manageable to work with while preserving its valuable components.

Smoking from a pipe

Once you have the piece set aside, you’re going to want to break out your pipe. Unlike weed, which can be rolled into a joint, moonrocks are best served by smoking them from pipe. Alternatively, you may use a bong, as well.

When packing your bowl, be careful not to pack your shard of moonrock too tightly. Packing loose will yield much better results, as it allows for increased airflow. When smoking moonrocks, it’s important to ensure consistent airflow, as they tend to clog easily. 

This is due to all of the oil and kief. The more flame you put to your moonrock, the more dripping you are likely to get. As such, you are bound to get a lot of sticky oil running down the length of your pipe. Seasoned smokers have surmised that it’s better to smoke a moonrock shard using a smaller pipe instead of a larger one.

It’s important that you re-read the previous sentence. Seasoned smokers have surmised that it’s better to smoke a moonrock shard using a smaller pipe instead of a larger one. No matter how much experience you have in getting high, you’re going to be in for a rude awakening if you attempt to smoke too much moonrock, especially on your first go-around.

Yes, they look incredibly enticing. But if you don’t heed the experience of those who have gone before you, moonrocks could give you more THC than you bargained for. 

By using a smaller bowl, you’re sure to get only what’s necessary without going overboard. This will also prevent wasting precious carbonization while ensuring that you have plenty for later. 

Smoking from a bong

If you prefer to smoke moonrocks from a bong, you’ll want to make sure that you dump out any existing bong water and replace it with fresh, clean water. 

Since you are smoking a marijuana product that is really high in quality, you want to do everything you can to make the most of it. Smoking moonrocks with clean water will ensure that you get the best taste possible. 

As with a pipe, you’re going to see a lot of oil. To help minimize this as much as possible, you should consider using an ice slide any time you smoke moonrocks out of your bong. Conversely, you should avoid using a personal vaporizer to smoke moonrocks. 

There is simply too much oil involved and will likely result in your vaporizer becoming damaged from the excess resin production.
