Tips for First‑Timers
- Start small. These are high‑potency concentrates (well above flower); a rice‑grain‑sized amount is plenty when you are starting out.
- Match the format to your gear. Temple ball hash can be added to flower in a joint or bowl, while live rosin budder is designed for a dab rig or e‑rig.
- Check the batch. Strain and terpene profile rotate by batch, so confirm the current cultivar and THC range on the OCS listing before buying.

What is solventless or live rosin extraction?
Solventless extraction makes concentrate without chemical solvents. Cross Border Concentrates uses ice‑water extraction and hand‑pressing. Live rosin is pressed from fresh‑frozen, ice‑water hash using heat and pressure, which is why fans value it for full‑spectrum, plant‑forward flavour.

The live solventless temple ball hash is listed at about $29.95 per gram on OCS (taxes included). That sits at the premium, craft end of the concentrate shelf, reflecting the solvent‑free, hand‑pressed process. Pricing can change, so check OCS for current rates.
Are Cross Border Concentrates products 510 compatible?
The brand has listed 510 live rosin vape cartridges on its own website, which would work with a standard 510‑thread battery. We could not confirm a 510 cart on OCS at the time of writing, so check the OCS listing for current availability. The hash and rosin budder are not vape carts and are not used with a 510 battery.
Are Cross Border Concentrates products lab‑tested?
As federally regulated cannabis sold through the OCS, the products carry the THC and CBD percentages shown on each listing. The brand had not published detailed third‑party lab‑testing documents on its public pages at the time of writing; refer to OCS product pages for the reported cannabinoid ranges.
Where can I buy Cross Border Concentrates?
Cross Border Concentrates is sold through the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) online and at licensed Ontario cannabis retailers. Availability of specific products can vary, so check the OCS collection page for what is currently in stock.
How should I store hash and rosin?
Keep concentrates in their original container, away from heat, light, and air, which can degrade flavour and potency. A cool, dark spot works well. Let cold rosin or hash warm slightly to room temperature before handling so it is easier to work with.
I am new to concentrates — where should I start?
Start with a very small amount, since concentrates are far stronger than flower. Temple ball hash crumbled into flower is an approachable way to try the brand, while live rosin budder is better suited to those who already have a dab rig or e‑rig.
