How Are Cannabis Extracts Made?

Manufacturers make cannabis extracts by soaking cannabis plants material in a solvent, such as ethanol alcohol. Next, they remove the plant material, filter the liquid, and remove the solvent – often by letting the solvent evaporate. This process leaves only the extracted cannabinoid.

While it sounds simple, creating a high-quality cannabis extraction requires meticulous attention to detail. To create powerful extracts, manufacturers use the best quality cannabis flowers available.

Extraction Methods

• ISO Hash – uses isopropyl alcohol or ethanol as the solvent.
• Butane Hash Oil (BHO) – uses butane as the solvent.
• CO2 Oil – uses compressed CO2 as the solvent.

What Are the Different Types of Cannabis Concentrates?

Concentrate Types:

• Live Resin – extracted from fresh, raw plants rather than dried cannabis, and uses butane or propane as the solvent; relatively new to the market, live resin extract preserves the flavors and aromas of the living plant better than other cannabis extractions.
• Crumble – as its name suggests, crumble is a dry, crumbly cannabis extract.
• Wax – this cannabis extract has a sticky, stretchy texture.
• Shatter – very brittle texture that can be easily snapped or shattered.
• Budder – a smooth consistency similar to butter or cake frosting.
• Tincture – only technically an extract, as manufacturers use alcohol to pull out cannabinoids from plant matter to create a highly potent concentrate.

How Do You Use Cannabis Concentrates?

While you can add a cannabis extract to the top of the cannabis flower in a pipe, you can also consume these extracts by dabbing, which requires a dab ring and a torch or other heat source.

Simply heat the nail of a dab ring and place a bit of cannabis extract onto the hot nail to vaporize the extract. Pull the vapor through a water pipe and inhale the goodness of super-potent, cannabinoid-rich vapor.

Some extracts are edible or drinkable, which makes them much simpler to enjoy. Cannabis extracts are also available as tinctures – simply put a few drops under your tongue.
