Cannabis concentrates are often named or described by their textures or consistencies: some are hard and brittle, like shatter; some waxy; some thick and gooey, like batter; and some like sauce. By definition, live resin is a more malleable concentrate, sitting somewhere between a wax and a sauce—not quite like taffy yet not too wet. It is typically dark yellow in color but can vary from light yellow to white. Like all cannabis concentrates, it is extremely sticky, so you’ll need a dab tool to handle it. Live resins tend to be potent with a lot of THC, and consumers love it because of its intense flavors and aromas which carry over from the original plant.

Of all the concentrates you’ll find hanging out on a dispensary shelf, shatter is one of the easiest to point out because of its appearance. The concentrate looks a lot like hard candy, so it is typically this flashy golden-to-amber color that is either totally translucent or pretty close. Shatter contains a high THC content; as much as 80 percent or higher, so the concentrate is one of the most potent you can find.
