Cannabis products have come a long way from the traditional methods of consumption! There are so many new and advanced ways to experience cannabinoids today. In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between some of these innovations: nanotech, distillate, and live resin cannabis products– and we’ll explore some Cannabis Cured product recommendations. We have a wide variety of top-tier weed products at our Maine dispensaries, including live resin gummies and live resin disposable vapes. Shop now!
What is Nano Technology in Cannabis?
Let’s start with nanotech, which has been a revolutionary innovation in the world of cannabis edibles. Nano emulsification involves breaking down cannabinoids like THC into extremely small particles, which can then be suspended in a liquid. This nano emulsion allows cannabinoids to be absorbed into the bloodstream more efficiently and faster.
The Benefits of Nano Technology
- Faster Absorption: Nano-infused edibles like cannabis gummies from Sugarloaf Springs offer faster absorption compared to traditional edibles. The THC is broken down into smaller particles, which can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the tissues in the mouth and digestive tract. This means that you’ll start feeling the effects within 10-20 minutes, instead of the usual 45 minutes to 2 hours required for traditional edibles.
- More Predictable Effects: One of the most common complaints about traditional edibles is the unpredictability of their effects. With nanotech edibles, the effects are more consistent and predictable. This is because the rapid absorption helps avoid the digestive system’s variability, giving users more control over their experience.
- Balanced Potency: Our nano-infused gummies at Cannabis Cured are formulated to provide a precise, controlled dose, making them a great option for both new and experienced cannabis users who want a predictable and quick-onset experience.
What is Distillate?
Distillate is one of the most common forms of cannabis extract, known for its versatility and high potency. THC distillate is created by refining cannabis oil through a process called distillation, which removes impurities, terpenes, and other cannabinoids, leaving behind a pure and potent THC extract.
The Benefits of Distillate
- High Potency: Distillate is highly concentrated, often containing up to 90-95% THC. This makes it an excellent choice for users looking for a potent cannabis experience.
- Versatile Use: Distillate is commonly used in a wide range of products, from vape cartridges to edibles. Because it is flavorless and odorless, it can be easily infused into different forms without altering their flavor profiles.
- Custom Flavors: Since distillate is essentially pure THC, it can be customized by adding terpenes back into the extract to create specific flavors and effects.

What is Live Resin?
Live resin is a cannabis concentrate known for its rich flavor and full-spectrum effects. It is made by flash-freezing the cannabis plant immediately after harvest and then extracting it. The live resin extraction process preserves marijuana’s natural terpenes and cannabinoids, resulting in a more flavorful and aromatic product.
The Benefits of Live Resin
- Rich Flavor and Aroma: The biggest draw of live resin is its ability to capture the full terpene profile of the plant. By preserving the plant’s natural terpenes, live resin offers a more aromatic and flavorful experience, closely mimicking the original flower.
- Full-Spectrum Effects: Unlike distillate, which is stripped of all other cannabinoids and terpenes, live resin retains all of these compounds. This means users can benefit from the entourage effect, where the various cannabinoids and terpenes work together to create a more balanced and potent effect.
- Natural Experience: For cannabis enthusiasts who value the natural essence of the plant, live resin is the perfect option. It provides a more authentic cannabis experience that includes all of the complexity of the plant’s original profile.
Live Resin Gummies from Sugarloaf Springs
We are excited to announce the arrival of new live resin gummies from Sugarloaf Springs, now available at Cannabis Cured. These gummies are made using high-quality live resin extract, which means they retain all of the natural terpenes and cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Live resin has a more complex flavor profile and a more balanced effect than distillate, providing users with an experience that is closer to consuming specific strains.
The live resin gummies at our Maine dispensaries are perfect for those who want the rich, full-spectrum effects of live resin but prefer the convenience and discretion of edibles. They offer a more nuanced high that combines relaxation with a sense of upliftment, making them ideal for both day and evening use.
Live Resin Disposable vs. Distillate Carts: What’s the Difference?
The Cannabis Cured dispensaries in Maine also offer a variety of vape products, including our new .3 g live resin disposable vapes and our popular distillate carts. Understanding the difference between these two types of vape carts can help you decide which one is best for your needs.
Distillate Carts: Potency and Versatility
Our distillate vape carts are crafted using highly purified THC distillate, providing a potent and straightforward THC-only experience. These carts are ideal if you’re looking for a simple, no-frills vaping experience. Since distillate is flavorless, our carts are often enhanced with added terpenes to create a variety of flavors, from fruity and sweet to earthy and herbal.
Live Resin Disposable: Flavor and Full-Spectrum Experience
We are also thrilled to offer .3 g live resin disposable carts from Northern Grown. These disposables are filled with live resin, meaning they retain the natural terpenes and cannabinoids from the original plant. The live resin disposable carts provide a more authentic and flavorful experience, with a full-spectrum effect that captures the essence of the cannabis strain.
Live resin disposable carts are perfect for users who value flavor and the overall experience of cannabis. They offer a more complex and nuanced high compared to distillate, thanks to the retention of terpenes and the entourage effect.
The .3 g size is also ideal if you want to try live resin without committing to a larger amount, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Live resin disposable carts are especially user-friendly because they come pre-filled and ready to use with no need for charging or additional equipment.
