Jungle Boys Rosin
Why It Made The List: The Jungle Boys don’t play. The talented team behind Jungle Boys cultivation has grown flower in Los Angeles since 2006, which has translated into Jungle Boys’ great line of pressed rosin. Jungle Boys operate exclusively out of TLC Dispensary in L.A.; see more work under the hashtag #squishingthatfire. It’s dry sift rosin batter and live rosin is impeccably clean, in a light-golden to near-white hue, but the connoisseur should know, the cost is high in the reflection of its rarity at $80-$100 per gram.
