Who is Illicit Gardens?
Illicit Gardens is a multi-award-winning cannabis brand that grows and cultivates cannabis products and sells them in their From The Earth dispensary and other dispensaries throughout Missouri. They became Missouri’s top-selling cannabis brand in 2021 and one of Missouri’s most successful brands.
Illicit Gardens has won several awards for its excellent cannabis products in 2023—including Company of the Year, Best Packaging Design, Best New Product of the Year, and Best Vape in the Greenway Readers Choice Awards after readers cast over 100,000 votes in December 2022.
Similarly, Illicit Gardens is a robust advocate of criminal justice reform for cannabis offenders, especially the release of POWs; they’ve donated over $100,000 since 2020 to local and national cause like Last Prisoner Project.

The campaign, through a series of interviews with 8 cannabis POWs, focuses on the unfair criminal justice system that disproportionately condemns cannabis offenders.

How to Use an Illicit Live Rosin Cart
A Live Rosin Vape Cartridge is great for vaping cannabis. However, there are some things you should consider to achieve the best results from your vape cartridge:
1. Avoid Overheating
It’s essential to prevent your Live Rosin Vape Cartridge from overheating.
Take slow draws to enjoy the complete flavor profile of each cannabis strain.
Allow the cartridge to cool down between draws.
Use 2.0-2.5v on your battery to stop overheating and degradation.
2. Stop Clogging
Rosin oil is typically thicker than other live resin alternatives and cured distillate. You should hold the vape cart in your hand for around 60 seconds. That way, you’ll raise the temperature slowly and allow the cart to loosen. Repeat this process until the oil flows willingly into the heating element.
3. Store Properly
You probably already know the importance of storing your cannabis flowers carefully, and your vape carts are no different. You should store your carts upright, avoid storing them at temperatures under 50 degrees and over 80 degrees, and thwart light exposure to prevent degrading the cannabinoids.
