This year, the Masters of Rosin brough the fire to Los Angeles, igniting the city with the best rosin entries from top hashmakers across the globe. Held earlier this month at the iconic Cookies Maywood, this wasn’t just an event - it was a full-blown solventless spectacle that left no jar unsmelled and no rosin untasted.

The Masters of Rosin is like the Olympics of solventless. From mind-blowing terpene profiles to flawless textures that looked like they belonged in an art gallery, this event was all about the passion for hashin’, the solventless community, and a deep love for our favorite plant.

What makes this competition so special? It’s all about showcasing the art and science behind rosin. The Masters of Rosin isn’t just a contest, it’s a celebration of the passion, creativity, and ingenuity that drives the solventless community. 

How It All Began

In 2018 in Barcelona, Spain, a group of hash enthusiasts came together with a mission - to create a platform that celebrates the purest form of cannabis extraction: rosin. No solvents, no shortcuts, just pure, unadulterated resin. And thus, the Masters of Rosin was born.

Fast forward to 2024, and the competition has grown into a global phenomenon, drawing top-tier hashmakers and rosin enthusiasts from all corners of the world. This year marked a major milestone as the Masters of Rosin expanded beyond Europe, hosting events in two powerhouse cities: New York and Los Angeles.

As one of several incredible sponsors, The Press Club was honored to support the Masters of Rosin in LA. Los Angeles has always been a city that knows how to roll out the red carpet, but this time it was for some of the finest solventless creations the cannabis world has ever seen.

SoCal definitely brought the heat. Whether you’re a seasoned dabber or someone just curious about why everyone’s so hyped about rosin, this event was proof that the solventless movement is not only thriving in the moment, but it’s here to stay.

This is the direction that cannabis concentrates are moving toward. Solventless is the way. 

Let’s get into the highlights, the winners, and why the Masters of Rosin is shaping the future of cannabis one delicious dab at a time.
