When the Jar Breaks the Pattern
Both of these Presidential Cannabis League rosters roll the same Gold build into every Blunt, Pre-Roll and Mini: flower, live resin and diamonds. The surprise is in the jar.
The XXX moon rock jar keeps the live resin but trades the diamonds for kief, and the XXX product pages warn that builds can differ between formats, so each label deserves a read. Waui's loose version comes in the ROVE jar, which also follows its own label.
That swap changes the outside of the product. California's primer on the flagship jar describes Moon Rocks as flower carried through with concentrate and finished in kief or diamonds, with the jar keeping that construction in view. Kief is made of trichomes, the resin glands behind the frost on mature cannabis flower.
What's inside
XXX fields four players, all marked Indica, and the pre-roll page sums it up: no fruit on the label, no origin story, just three letters and a build. Its Blunt carries 30, which is simply XXX in Roman numerals, and the Mini Blunt pack swaps the crescent's 1 for a 3, all under a red theater curtain with the name in neon.
Waui also fields four, all marked Sativa and all made with ROVE, with a pineapple-led tropical profile. Every jersey carries an 8, from 80 on the Blunt to 28 on the Mini Pre-Roll, and hibiscus and plumeria blossoms cover the black pack.
