Jetty Extract unrefined live resin

Jetty Extracts

OUR TAKEAWAY

Unrefined live resin is the latest innovative release from the Jetty Extracts team in Oakland. Cannabis becomes “live resin” through an extraction process that preserves the original cannabis flower by flash freezing immediately after harvest. “Refined” live resin extraction can lead to the loss of active cannabinoid components before reintroduction to the final oil product that is sold to consumers. In contrast, no active compounds are removed from Jetty’s “unrefined ” live resin, resulting in a full-spectrum experience (a concentrate product most-closely related to fresh cannabis flower) for the consumer.

The Rising Tide of Legalization: July 17, 2020

Cannabis continues to be at the forefront of the national political conversation. The Joe Biden presidential campaign released its federal cannabis recommendations this week which called for the legalization of medical use cannabis at the federal level but stopped short of supporting nationwide recreational legalization. Given the wide bipartisan support for cannabis, with almost 67% of Americans supporting legalization, candidates’ views on cannabis policy has the potential to be the differentiator in races for the House, Senate, and, ultimately, the White House in November. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators including Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has begun work on an amendment to the latest defense spending bill that will allow for cannabis and hemp research. As more representatives realize the positive tax revenue and social equity implications of cannabis legalization, the Bengal Capital Team is hopeful that we will continue to see momentum behind the “rising tide of legalization," regardless of electoral outcome this November.
