If you’re someone who loves the effects of THC, there is a type of rock that will redefine what the word high means to you. Such rocks are called moon rocks. While these rocks are not from the moon, they’ll likely make you so high that you feel like you’re on another planet.
Below we’ll discuss what moon rocks are, why they’re so popular, how to make your own moon rocks, and answer other common questions.

What Are Moon Rocks?
Moon rocks are cannabis buds dipped in hash oil and then rolled in kief. They are usually smoked through a bong or pipe.
Essentially, a bunch of THC-containing products are combined to make moon rocks, which make a high that’s out of this world. Let’s talk more about what they’re made up of.
Components of Moon Rocks
1. High-Grade Cannabis Flower
An essential component of quality moon rocks is a high-grade cannabis flower with a strong potent taste but a smooth smoke, like Girl Scout Cookies, but many other strains can be used as well. Some dispensaries cheat out and use low-quality flowers, which is why making moon rocks at home is often preferred.
2. Cannabis Extracts to Make an Interstellar Core
Once we have our flower, we then roll the interstellar core in cannabis extracts such as hash oil and/or wax, making them sticky and icky with wax.
3. Kief Covering/Dust
Once we have our core made up of cannabis bud and hash oil, cover it with a dusting of kief. The final result looks like a crusty, kiefy interstellar object that you’d expect to find orbiting a planet full of stoners!
Something pretty fascinating about Moon Rocks is that they can be crafted from a multitude of different strains and THC-laden materials. Before labs could produce moon rocks with perfect consistency, they said there would be no two exactly alike. When you bought a moon rock back in the day, you had no idea what you were getting yourself into. The manufacturers of reputable noon rocks can now tell you precisely what cannabinoids and terpenes can be found in their products.
This legendary concoction is sometimes referred to as “Cannabis Caviar” or “Marijuana Meteorites.” Moon rocks are an intense way of getting toked up and forgetting what day it is for multiple days at a time. Even the most experienced smokers will find that Moon Rocks from a reputable source can contain north of 50% THC (17%-58% typically) and can send you to the moon, perhaps even further if you’re a lightweight like me! (I landed somewhere around Andromeda.)
The term “Cannabis Caviar,” also known as the Caviar Gold strain, Caviar Concentrates, Caviar Weed, Marijuana Caviar, or Caviar Moon rocks, basically refers to the same thing as moon rocks. The names of these products all refer to the same product: a top-quality marijuana bud that has been coated in hash oil and then rolled in kief before it is dried.
Moon rocks are extraordinarily potent, with some strains of Cannabis Caviar containing up to 91% THC. This is due to the incredible potency of the kief and cannabis oil available today, as well as the extremely high-quality strains that are often used for the blends. An extravagant combination like this can have you in a state of euphoria.
How To Smoke Moon Rocks?
It’s best to consume moon rocks through a bong or pipe. Even though you can use a joint or bowl, their sticky, dense, and greasy consistency works best when they are used with either of the two first options. Additionally, the flowers can be placed over a hemp flower to ensure they stay lit for the duration of a smoking session.
To derive the most significant benefit from smoking moon rocks, you need to use a glass bong, pipe, or even a desktop vaporizer. With your fingers, you will have to break down the moon rocks. Squeeze gently; otherwise, the oil will melt on your fingers and you will lose some of the precious rock!
To help the moon rock burn evenly, use some regular weed as a base in your bong. It takes time for the wax to melt and the flower to burn when the moon rocks are heated. It’s therefore, necessary to add a little weed first before adding the moon rock.
As a result of the delayed heating reaction, most users avoid ripping it too hard to prevent uneven burning. This experience is best enjoyed through a slow, continuous, and long pull.
Using this method, you can melt the first layer of kief and wax, allowing you to access and burn the nug.
Smoking moon rocks with a desktop vaporizer is a better option because it is more powerful than its portable counterpart and can handle both cannabis flower and oil at once. You shouldn’t try to vaporize moon rocks if your vaporizer isn’t capable of this. It may be possible to use moon rocks with your vaporizer, even if your device has attachments for both flowers and concentrates.
If you wish to smoke moon rocks, a bong or glassware is the best way since a traditional moon rock joint is difficult to light. Store-bought or homemade doesn’t make a difference.
Like with hash, which does not burn on its own but is usually mixed in with flowers (or tobacco in the absence of flowers), the extremely resinous nature of moon rocks makes it hard to light them and keep them lit.
You will have to sprinkle it on top of some flower if you want to use this extremely potent product to roll a joint or a blunt, which, by that time, should not be a problem since you should already have everything you need to enjoy a ride.
Creating the Perfect Moon Rocks
The first step is choosing your favorite strain of flower. There are so many brands trying different strains and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Indica-dominant GSC, also known as Girl Scout Cookies, is often used to make moon rocks.
GSC was created by crossing OG Kush and Durban Poison. The euphoric effects of this popular strain are followed by waves of relaxation throughout the body. GSC leaves you feeling relaxed, hungry, and stress-free after one hit.
After that, we need to coat. You can coat your bud with whatever you want as long as it is sticky and full of cannabinoids. Wax, oils, extracts, and even extra terpenes are acceptable.
Open up your oil, and pour it into your bowl. After that, you’re gonna grind some of your buds (full buds only). Take the ground weed (not kief) out and put it away, you won’t need it. Make a large pile of kief by repeating this process. Dump your kief onto your tray/table.
Take your tweezers and a bud that hasn’t been touched, and dip it in the oil until it is completely covered. Place it on the cookie sheet. Allow it to dry for 10 to 15 minutes. Grab your bud with the tweezers and roll it around in the pile of kief until it is fully covered. Place it on the cookie sheet. Repeat the previous two steps until you have the desired amount of moon rocks. Allow them to dry for approximately 48 hours after rolling them in kief.
Our moon rocks will also incorporate a texture and appearance that mimic the moon’s natural sand and rock. This texture and appearance can be achieved with kief, pollen, dry sift, crumbles, or even super finely ground cannabis.
Moon Rocks do not have to follow a simple layering process – some of the best ones take multiple layers and do a variety of things throughout. It should be a mystery to crack open a new Moon Rock!
The outer surface of moon rocks can sometimes even be drizzled with concentrates, making it look more like a dessert than a lunar rock.
Finally: Smoke them up! They can also be sold (usually $25 to $30 per gram). Avoid using a grinder to smoke moon rocks. Smoking them with a bong or bowl is the best method.
What Do Moon Rocks Taste Like?
Moon rocks now come in such a wide variety of forms, that one can be certain that one will not only find one’s perfect taste or experience but also have a wide selection to choose from. For first-time users of cannabis, moon rocks are often described as a bit of a harsh experience.
Moon Rocks that have been smoked will produce a lot of flavors, especially when they are smoked through clean glassware. Combined, the flower, oil, and kief all provide enormous clouds and deep terpene profiles for an unforgettable experience. As far as the smoking experience and taste go, Moon Rocks provide something different than any of the previously mentioned substances.
How To Prepare Moon Rocks For Smoking?
You will need a gram of your flower of choice. Girl Scout Cookie is the most popular for making moon rocks, but the choices are pretty endless, especially if you are making your own.
The biggest complaint people have with moon rocks is that they are incredibly sticky and messy. If done right, it’s not sticky. Just cut a piece with scissors and you can pop it in a bong or bowl, or put in a blunt with regular bud like you would do with hash.
- Cut your nug into 4-5 chunks using scissors or ripping it apart. Take your glass piece and pack it with a normal bowl of flower. The Moon Rock chunk should be placed on top of the normal bowl of flower.
- As you light your lighter, begin to slowly ignite the moon rock at the top and burn it slowly to sizzle and begin to melt into the flower beneath it. If it catches on fire, blow it out immediately.
- Make sure that you do not touch the rock on the moon. This stuff will stick to you and burn you. I’m telling you, it ain’t fun. Inhale while applying low heat to the bowl until it’s cherried.
- You must remember to not be in contact with that sticky little devil during the process.
- Exhale a huge cloud of air. It is perfectly acceptable to cough uncontrollably.
At this point, you may want to orbit the living room, alternating between contact with the fridge, the television, and the couch for the foreseeable future. When you have successfully returned to earth, do it again, risky as it may be!
What Does It Feel Like to Smoke Moon Rocks?
After a few minutes of using them, you begin to experience a slow burn that produces some immediate effects that really ramp up about half an hour in.
According to people’s reviews, you can expect the high to last several hours or even into the next day if you are a first-time user of moon rocks or high-THC strains.
You will feel all of the traditional effects of cannabis multiplied. Keep water and snacks on hand, and don’t make any concrete plans. Moon rocks are often referred to as full-body highs, due to their extreme intensity and long-lasting effects, which are far more intense than the effects of an ordinary joint.
Tips for Safety Consuming Moon Rocks
It’s pretty safe to say that moon rocks can be pretty powerful. The following are some important factors you should consider if you are going to give these things a try.
It is no secret that these powerful nuggets are sure to mess with your brain and energy levels, which will make it extremely difficult for you to accomplish anything. You should plan this out when you have a great deal of free time on your schedule or when you have no commitments.
As a general safety tip, here are some guidelines to follow when using moon rocks:
Eat something. You should eat before you smoke, not just to keep the eventual munchies from setting in, but also to avoid the high-THC effect of nausea and/or vomiting.
Hydrate. Whenever possible, make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after you smoke, since it’s pretty much guaranteed that your mouth will become very dry.
Please take a moment to consider your surroundings. It is important that you pick a place that will be safe for you to just hang out without feeling any pressure.
Take it slow. You should start slow – like, really slow. If you have never used moon rocks or high THC strains before, it is especially important to do this to ensure that the effects of the strain are minimized to the maximum extent possible. Whenever possible, allow at least several minutes to pass between each inhalation.
What Are the Benefits Of Moon Rocks?
- They are easy to create. Moon rocks are simply weed buds dipped in hash oil (or sprayed with it) and rolled in kief.
- You’ll be high as a kite.
- Efficacious-a small amount goes a long way, just like dabs.
- Medical patients or other people who want a high THC dose would benefit from this product.
- They are novelty items that spark conversation.
What Are The Downsides Of Moon Rocks?
- Moon Rocks can be a challenge for new smokers
- It’s hard to keep everything together and clean! Their waxy shells cling to anything and everything they touch, while the kief gets everywhere.
- They’ll clog up your grinder, so you’ll need to grind them finer. Scissors work best.
- Dry herb vapes don’t work very well with them
- Your glassware will be instantly dirty on a level you’ve never experienced before
- The effects may last for a long time (even entire days if you aren’t ready).
- Moon Rocks can certainly cause a few unwanted effects such as anxiety, alarmingly fast heart rates, paranoia to the max, extreme sleepiness, headaches (especially if you’re dehydrated), cottonmouth just like smoking cannabis in general, coughing as you’ve never seen before, and next-level munchies that can easily decimate your pantries stash.
- Your pals are always going to be trying to hit your stash of moon rocks. You should share with your friends but hey, moon rocks can get expensive if all the homies are hitting them!
Are Moon Rocks Worth It?
If you make them yourself, they are worth it. Moon rocks go for decent prices at dispensaries, but the quality isn’t that great since it’s usually bud and wax from low-quality plants. You can’t count on the quality of moon rocks until you buy them. The oil, weed, and kief are probably low quality. We made ours at home and they were awesome. Paying for the lot would allow you to at least ensure quality. It burned nice and slow because there was a lot of oil. We usually cover our nugs in shatter and then kief. We stay away from the oil.
Where Did Moon Rocks Come From?
Though I would love to tell you they came from an intelligent life that was hiding on the moon and manufacturing one of the best ways to get stoned, moon rocks actually came from a rapper.
Yes, rappers seem to make a lot of interesting cannabis products. We’d like to thank Ricardo Emmanuel Brown (AKA Kurupt) from Death Row Records and his buddy Dr. Zodiak. In 2014, these two men partnered with 1933 Industries to heavily market and distribute several Moon Rock-like products, including one of his most famous, Gotti’s Gold.
Even though some of Kurupt’s brands are among the most popular, moon rocks are not exclusively owned by him. Almost any dispensary sells a variety of atmospheric versions of moon rocks.
What Are Some Reputable Brands That Sell Moon Rocks?
Moon Rocks are available from the following brands (and many more every day):
- OG
- OG Blonde Kief
- Bloomble Delta 8 THC
- Plain Jane
- Ivanka
- Blue Cheese
- Jack Frost
- CBD Farmhouse Delta 8
- CBD American Shaman
The price of moon rocks varies from $20 to $300, depending on the strain and amount purchased. Some companies offer deliciously flavored moonrocks and prerolls that produce otherworldly euphoria.
Cannabis buds covered in concentrates can be purchased for those who want to feel a little or a lot out of orbit. Currently, there is a wide selection of tasty flavors and dank euphoria available to clients seeking relief from ailments. Clients are able to choose from keif, concentrates, and flowers to soothe these symptoms.
Moon rocks are known as caviar gold because they provide the kind of weed experience enjoyed by true connoisseurs. They are not a particular strain of marijuana. Rather, they are a product created by mixing different weed elements together to create a bundle of joy that will give you the ultimate high.
For a cannabis session, you won’t soon forget (or even recall, let’s be honest) why not use Girl Scout Cookies, soak it in premium hash oil for a week, and cover it with the finest kief?
Moon rocks are available at dispensaries around the United States, but it’s usually over $1,400 per ounce! It is true that an eighth costs close to $200, however, you need far less than regular weed to get high. The process of creating a version of your own isn’t difficult. Just follow the instructions outlined above and combine the three main components.
Moon rocks are just the thing you’ve been looking for if you’re looking for a powerful high that’s still technically derived from marijuana flower.
The moon rock can be smoked as well as added to edibles, although most users opt for the smoky experience. For moon rocks, you’ll need glassware, and they are not recommended for cannabis beginners. To truly experience the feel of a lunar mission, be sure to choose a quiet section of the planet where you can enjoy smoking your moon rocks!
TLDR: Moon Rocks
- Moon Rocks are a cannabis-derived product made from cannabis flower. This is usually the highest-grade flower, making it more expensive.
- Moon Rock is made by taking the flower, coating it in hash oil, and then rolling it in kief. This can be done at home with a bit of practice.
- The rocks are super potent, and some can reach up to 91% THC. They are only recommended for experienced stoners because of their intense high.
- For the best experience, smoke them using a bong or pipe, as their sticky and greasy consistency doens’t really go well with joints or dry herb vapes.
The rundown is that moon rocks are an innovative cannabis product with perks and downsides. The good part is that they’re easy to create, highly potent (high THC), and interesting to show off to friends. The bad part is that your friends can be overwhelmed by the high (if they’re new), and they’re pretty messy.
