What Are Cannabis Extracts?

Cannabis extracts are concentrated forms of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds derived from the cannabis plant. These extracts are produced through various extraction methods that separate the desirable components from the plant material, such as the flowers and leaves. The primary active compounds in cannabis extracts are cannabinoids, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), but there are many other cannabinoids and terpenes present as well.

Here are some common types of cannabis extracts:

Hashish: One of the oldest forms of cannabis extracts, hashish is made by collecting and compressing trichomes (resin glands) from the cannabis plant. It is typically consumed by smoking.

Hash Oil: This is a concentrated oil extracted from cannabis plant material. The extraction process often involves solvents like butane or ethanol. Hash oil can be used for vaporization, dabbing, or even consumed orally when mixed with food.

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO): Named after a medical marijuana activist, RSO is a highly cannabis extract often made with ethanol. It is known for its high THC content and is sometimes used for medicinal purposes.

Butane Hash Oil (BHO): BHO is a popular extract that uses butane as a solvent to extract cannabinoids and terpenes. The resulting product can take various forms, such as shatter, wax, or budder, depending on the processing methods.

CO2 Oil: This extract is created using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent. CO2 extraction is considered a safer method than some solvent-based methods, and it allows for the extraction of specific compounds with precision.

Live Resin: This extract is made from freshly harvested cannabis plants that are frozen immediately after harvesting. The freezing process helps preserve the plant’s terpene profile, resulting in a product with a more robust and flavorful experience.

Distillate: Cannabis distillate is a highly refined extract that has undergone distillation to remove impurities and separate specific cannabinoids. It is often used to create products with precise THC or CBD concentrations.

These extracts can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaporizing, dabbing, or incorporating them into edibles and tinctures. It’s essential to note that the legality of cannabis extracts varies by region, so individuals should be aware of local regulations regarding their production, sale, and use.
