A rosin press, also known as a rosin tech press, is a mechanical device used to extract rosin from plant material, typically cannabis or hemp. Rosin is a sticky, resinous substance that contains cannabinoids and terpenes, the active compounds in cannabis that produce psychoactive and therapeutic effects. Rosin is produced by applying heat and pressure to plant material, causing the rosin to melt and flow out of the plant matter. Rosin presses come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small, hand-held models to large, industrial-sized machines.
Rosin presses are becoming increasingly popular as a method of extracting rosin because they are relatively easy to use and can produce high-quality rosin with minimal impurities. Rosin is also a versatile substance that can be used in a variety of ways, including dabbing, vaping, and cooking.
