What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
A cannabis concentrate is a concentrated mass of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD). These products are also called marijuana extracts, marijuana concentrates, and cannabis extracts.
Concentrated forms of cannabis typically have THC concentrations of 40% to 90%. This makes them significantly more potent than even the strongest strains of marijuana, which usually contain 20% or less of THC. Using a closed-loop system with a solvent like butane, propane, or hexane is the most popular way to extract the concentrate. While preparing extracts poses the risk of fire in unregulated settings due to volatile reactions, carbon dioxide can be used in supercritical fluid extraction to mitigate this risk. It also happens to yield a superior end product.
The refined, almost juicy flavor of concentrates and the enjoyable experience of vaping them have made these products a popular choice among cannabis consumers.
About Cannabis Concentrates and Extracts
No two concentrate products are exactly the same. The method of production, including the extraction technique, will determine the final product’s texture, not to mention its other unique characteristics. For the same of simplicity, however, concentrates are generally divided into just two categories: those that used a solvent during extraction (solvent-based) and those that didn’t (non-solvent or solventless). Butane hash oil (BHO), for example, is the most popular solvent-based concentrate. The most popular solventless concentrates, on the other hand, include rosin, ice water hash, and dry sift, or kief.
