If you’re familiar with cannabis culture you’ve probably heard of or encountered moon rocks. If you haven’t, moon rocks are an extremely potent way to consume cannabis. They’re made by taking a bud of cannabis, dipping/coating it with hash oil, and finally rolling it in kief. So just how potent are they? Well there’s plenty of variation and the exact percentage comes down to who made them and the quality of ingredients used, but the general consensus is around 50% THC. Now that we’ve defined moon rocks and know what ingredients we’ll be working with, here’s how to make your own moon rocks, a step by step guide.
Here’s what you’ll need to make moon rocks:
Your choice strain of cannabis
A thick concentrate, preferably hash oil
Enough kief to coat your bud(s)
A bowl for mixing
Tongs
This process to make them can be scaled up or down depending on how much you’re looking to make.
Step 1: Choose Your Bud
Take some of your favourite cannabis flowers and place them in the bowl. It’s a good idea to plan what kind of moon rocks you’d like 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’ll coat the buds better. If your concentrate is too thick, simply heat it up until it’s malleable.
Step 3: Coat the Bud
You want an even coat over your cannabis flower. Note that you don’t want too thick of a coating as it could result in difficulty lighting them and long drying times. You’ll want to use your tongs here to ensure a nice even coating.
Step 4: Dry the moon rocks and Coat them With Kief
Let the moon rocks dry and finally, add your kief for the finishing touches. Once you’re finished, they should look similar to the image below.
To smoke moon rocks, it’s best to break them apart using scissors or some other cutting tool. Avoid putting them in your grinder as they’ll just clog it up and possibly even ruin it. They’re best smoked using pipes or bongs, but can be rolled into a nice joint if made correctly. However, when making your own moon rocks, it’s not recommended to roll joints as they probably won’t light properly.
Please note that they are extremely potent and should be smoked in moderation. Remember you can always smoke more if you’re not high enough, but you can’t reverse the effects if you’ve had too much.

All eyes are on New Orleans for the Super Bowl. What role will CBD and Hemp play for players and fans?
The big game is in the party Capital of New Orleans this weekend – so what about the NFL, Super Bowl, CBD and hemp? New Orleans is a party capital and know for a good time. Football players and fans love a good times, but what can they do with cannabis while in the Big Easy? For fans, while it is illegal, it isn’t hard to find and CBD and hemp products, including edibles since they are legal.
The National Football League (NFL) has historically maintained a strict stance against cannabis and its derivatives, including CBD, due to its classification as a Schedule I substance under federal law. However, recent developments have shown a shift in the league’s approach, particularly with the increasing acceptance of hemp-derived CBD.
The NFL has taken significant steps towards reevaluating its stance on cannabis, particularly CBD. The league has relaxed its cannabis policy, reducing penalties for players who test positive for cannabis. This shift focuses on ensuring responsible use without compromising health or performance2. Additionally, the NFL has partnered with researchers to study the safety and efficacy of CBD for pain management and neuroprotection from concussions, investing $1 million in such studies.
CBD has emerged as an alternative for pain management and recovery in football. It is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce a “high,” and research suggests it can reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve sleep—critical factors in athlete recovery. The NFL’s acceptance of CBD could pave the way for other sports leagues to reconsider their policies, reflecting broader societal trends toward cannabis normalization.
The NFL’s evolving stance on CBD and hemp reflects a growing recognition of the potential health benefits of these substances. As research continues and public opinion shifts, it is likely that the league will further adapt its policies. The partnership with researchers and the investment in studies signal a commitment to understanding the therapeutic benefits of CBD, particularly in managing pain and protecting against concussions.
As the NFL continues to navigate this complex issue, its decisions could have far-reaching implications for professional sports and beyond.
The phrase has become popular, so why not share marijuana’s place in it?
Politicians have made the phrase popular with a modern interpretations, but it has people thinking. Where is cannabis in the Ordo Amoris? This ancient Catholic phrase has become today popular, but is an ancient concept rooted in Christian theology, particularly in the works of St. Augustine and St.Thomas Aquinas. It is usually translated as “order of love” or “rightly ordered love,” is it emphasizes the importance of prioritizing one’s affections and responsibilities in a hierarchical manner.
People prioritize in a variety of ways, and it seems lately, people have been moving marijuana above alcohol, long the favorite intoxicant of choice. But younger generations are moving away from it causing angst in the liquor industry. California sober has become a thing where people leave booze for marijuana. And the big alcohol companies have seen drop in both sales and expanded markets. They have made major investments in marijuana and in come cases, hemp.

The concept suggests love should be ordered with God as the primary focus, followed by oneself, family, neighbors, and then the broader community. The hierarchy is not meant to diminish the importance of loving all people but acknowledges that certain relationships carry more immediate obligations.
While there is a general hierarchy, the application of ordo amoris can vary based on circumstances. For instance, in cases of extreme need, one might prioritize a stranger over a family member if the stranger’s need is more urgent.
St. Augustine discussed the concept in his works, such as “City of God” and “On Christian Doctrine,” emphasizing that love should be directed appropriately to avoid sin. He noted that all people should be loved equally, but special regard should be given to those closer to us by circumstance. St. Thomas Aquinas expanded on Augustine’s ideas in his “Summa Theologica,” highlighting the importance of loving God first and then prioritizing those closest to us, such as family and community.
Of course, people interrupt to fit there needs, but basically it all comes to do well be other and treat others like yourself. Although, the trend tends allows you move away form the love of alcohol to the more healthier love of cannabis.
