Cannabis concentrates and extracts offer potency, immediacy, long-lasting effects,
unmatched flavor and aroma, and an overall experience superior to traditionally
smoking cannabis flower. The lack of CO 2 and carbon monoxide associated with
the combustion of flower make these options clear winners for both health and
efficacy. Products like shatter, hash, budder, kief, wax, rosin, live resin, terpene sauce,
distillate, HTFSE/HCFSE, tincture, isolate, and several others are making a bold name
for themselves in the evolving cannabis market.
Cannabis concentrates are created via a mechanical process to separate the
target chemical components (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other
compounds) from the plant material. Solvents, heat, and even the curing process
itself can often destroy key monoterpenes and other trace components. Concentrates
maintain more of the full spectrum of the cannabis plant’s chemical makeup while
ensuring no solvents can possibly be present in the final product.
The extraction process uses a chemical process (via a solvent) to separate these
same target chemical components from the plant material. Once these chemical
compounds are separated out from the plant material via extraction, they can then
be separated into their different constituent components. These components can
be concentrated and consumed with reliable, known effects. This is how pure CBD
isolate, pure THCA crystals, or extreme concentration of terpenes is achieved.
These extracted components can even be mixed back together to create
custom mixes with intenisified flavors and effects.
