Moon Rocks – A step-by-step guide to making your own Moon Rocks

If you’re familiar with cannabis culture, chances are you’ve heard of or encountered moon rocks. If not, moonrocks are an extremely potent way to consume cannabis. They are made by taking a cannabis bud, dipping/coating it with hash oil and finally rolling it in kief. So how strong are they? Well, there are many variations and the exact percentage depends on who made them and the quality of the ingredients used, but the general consensus is around 50% THC. Now that we’ve defined moon rocks and what ingredients we’re going to be working with, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your own moon rocks.

Here’s what you need to craft Moon Rocks:

• Cannabis strain of your choice
• A thick concentrate, preferably hash oil
• Enough kief to coat your buds
• A mixing bowl
• Tongs

This process to make them can be scaled up or down depending on how much you want to make.

Step 1: Choose your bud

Take some of your favorite cannabis flowers and place them in the bowl. It’s a good idea to plan what type of moon rock you want to make. For example if you want indica, sativa or a hybrid combination.

Step 2: Grab your concentrate

The concentrate you choose should be nice and thick as it coats the buds better. If your concentrate is too thick, simply heat it until malleable.

Step 3: Coat the bud

You want an even coat over your cannabis flower. Note that you don’t want a too thick coating, as this can lead to lighting difficulties and long drying times. You’ll want to use your tongs here to ensure a nice, even coating.

Step 4: Dry moon rock and brush with kief

Let the moonstones dry and finally add your kief for the finishing touch. Once done they should look similar to the image below.

The best way to smoke moon rock is to break it apart with scissors or another cutting tool. Avoid putting them in your grinder as they will only clog and potentially ruin it. They are best smoked with pipes or bongs, but can be rolled into a nice joint if made properly. However, if you are making your own moonrocks, it is not recommended to roll joints as they are unlikely to fire properly.

Please note that they are extremely potent and should be smoked in moderation. Remember that you can always smoke more if you’re not high enough, but you can’t reverse the effects if you’ve had too much to drink.
