Solvents are chemicals used along with heat and pressure to break down cannabis plant material and extract key components including oils, cannabinoids, and terpenes.
Solventless
Highly potent or concentrated cannabis product extracted without the use of chemicals.
ROSIN extraction is completed by pressing dried flower, kief, drysift, or bubble hash between two heated plates (about 120°F to 220°F). The high pressure and controlled heat of the rosin press can extract concentrates up to 90% THC, while maintaining their terpene profile, aroma and flavor.
Solvent-based Extraction
Hydrocarbon or ethanol extraction offers the most efficient method of extracting trichomes from plant material, however requires close attention to safety throughout the extraction process and removing solvents from the consumables. Extracts using butane as the primary solvent are known as Butane Hash Oil or BHO.
Solvents, commonly butane, propane, and ethanol are used to extract cannabinoids and terpenes.
Concentrates labeled as LIVE, are created from freezing flower immediately post harvest and keeping material frozen through the extraction process to best preserve terpene profile in solvent based extractions. LIVE RESIN offers the best preservation of terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids when using solvents. CURED products differ by beginning extraction from dried/cured plant material.
