What is Flower Rosin? A Guide for Texas Medical Cannabis Patients

Texas medical cannabis patients now have access to flower rosin, one of the most true-to-plant options on the market. Flower rosin is known for its full spectrum, solventless extraction method that contains many of the cannabis plant's naturally occurring compounds. 
 
If you're new to flower rosin, this guide will walk you through how it's made and how to get medical cannabis in Texas. 

Flower rosin is a full-spectrum extract made from cannabis flower. The process only uses low heat and pressure, allowing the final product to retain many of the cannabis plant's natural compounds, such as cannabinoids, flavonoids and other potentially beneficial compounds. 
 
Patients who are looking for plant-forward medicine often love flower rosin because it stays close to the original aroma, flavor and profile of the cannabis plant.  

Flower rosin is a unique extract known for its: 

• Craft, small batch processing
• Solventless extraction
• Whole-plant, full-spectrum formulation
• True-to-plant flavor 

Whole plant cannabis extracts are designed to preserve many compounds found in the cannabis plant, like cannabinoids, flavonoids and more. Research suggests that these compounds may interact in a way known as the entourage effect, where they work together to enhance the overall therapeutic impact of medical cannabis compared to isolated compounds (Russo, 2019). 
 
Additional research published in 2024 found that a full-spectrum cannabis extract reduced inflammatory responses in laboratory models compared with isolated cannabinoids, suggesting that whole-plant formulations may offer added benefits over single-compound products (Ross-Munro et al., 2024). 

Texas flower rosin is made in small batches, relying only on heat and pressure to create a full-spectrum, whole-plant cannabis extract.  Here's how our Texas-made flower rosin comes to life: 
 
Harvesting 
The process starts with carefully selected cannabis flower. 
 
Curing 
The flower is slowly cured until it reaches its target moisture level. This step helps preserve the plant's natural compounds and prepares it for pressing. 
 
Pressing 
Once cured, the flower is gently broken down and packed into rosin bags. Under controlled heat and mechanical pressure, cannabinoids and terpenes are released from the plant material.  
 
Collecting the Rosin 
The pressed extract is collected and stored in small containers.  
 
Decarboxylation 
The rosin is gently heated to activate cannabinoids like THC. 
 
Infusion 
After decarboxylation, the whole-plant rosin extract is infused into medical cannabis products, like our new Wild Plum Flower Rosin Gummies. 

As the first and only Texas-based medical cannabis company in the state, we're proud to celebrate serving our neighbors with the highest quality medicine. Each package of our Flower Rosin Wild Plum Gummies celebrates the rolling terrain and tall trees of the Piney Woods in East Texas.
