Cannabis concentrate
Cannabis concentrate, also called marijuana concentrate, marijuana extract, or cannabis extract, is a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD) concentrated mass. Cannabis concentrates contain high THC levels that range from 40% to over 90%, stronger in THC content than high-grade marijuana, which normally measures around 20% THC levels.
Volatile solvents, such as ethanol, butane, propane or hexane, may be used to prepare extracts, but can possibly lead to fire and explosion hazards in uncontrolled environments. Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction alleviates concerns of fire and explosion and results in a high-quality product.
Legally produced concentrates for retail sale in legalized U.S. states are often packaged in small lip balm-sized containers.
In Colorado, the Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) regulates almost every facet of the cannabis seed-to-sale process. There are heavy regulations on the containers that hold the concentrate: containers must be child-resistant, opaque, and have a multitude of legal text warning the consumer of the risks of consumption. MED also regulates the creation or extraction of cannabis extract.
Common types of cannabis concentrate:
The major difference between live resin and other cannabis concentrates lies in the way they are produced. The manufacturing of live resin involves fresh, live cannabis either freshly harvested or flash-frozen cannabis. This helps protect plant's content matter, aroma and flavor.
