In 2006 ICMag became the first to introduce rosin to the cannabis community. In 2015 rosin gained more public attention when Phil Salazar shared photos of rosin produced from hash. When Salazar attempted to flatten some hash by pressing it, he noticed resin was forced out from the hash which had become dry and spent. After pressing another bit of hash in some parchment paper using heat, Salazar was able to replicate the event. Salazar then began using a hair straightener, first with hash and then with buds. The same resin was produced that he had first noticed when pressing the hash. This resin became known as rosin.
