Two ways to build a Moon Rock
These teams come from opposite ends of the Presidential Cannabis League catalog, and the difference is in the build.
Blue Raspberry plays in the Silver Flavor Series in Presidential's classic packaging. Its recipe is flower, distillate and kief. The distillate is the middle layer, and kief is the finish, the loose trichome material that separates from flower, as the explainer on how kief is gathered from trichomes lays out. It is not a garnish. It is the last working layer of the build.
Gorilla Goo swaps both of those pieces. The Gorilla Goo Kings play in the Gold Strain Series and the New Pack Line, with live resin carried through the flower and diamonds on the outside.
Either way, the flower comes first. The guide to choosing between raw flower and infused notes that infusion methods vary, that an outside coating often uses distillate and may be dusted with kief, and that the base flower stays the starting point.
What's inside
The Blue Raspberry Grizzlies lead with the berry their name promises, under a red and blue chrome helix. The roster is two deep: a 1.5g Moon Rock Blunt wearing 11 and a 1g Moon Rock Pre-Roll wearing 1, both marked Indica.
Gorilla Goo leans on reported sour fuel, pine and chocolate notes for a rich, gassy character. The Gorilla Goo Kings field all four positions: the 1.5g Blunt in 99, the 1g Pre-Roll in 9, the Mini Blunt three-pack in 19 and the Mini Pre-Roll three-pack in 29, all marked Hybrid. Gorilla Goo also comes as Gorilla Goo Moon Rocks.
