What is Cannabis Distillate?
Cannabis distillate is a highly concentrated form of cannabis that has been extracted using a process called winterization. This process involves separating the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material, resulting in a potent and pure product. Distillate is known for its high potency, often containing upwards of 90% THC or CBD, depending on the strain and extraction method.
Extraction Process
The extraction process for distillate begins with the selection of high-quality cannabis flowers. These flowers are then subjected to a solvent, typically butane or CO2, which extracts the cannabinoids and terpenes. The solvent is then evaporated, leaving behind a thick, sticky oil that is the distillate.
Uses in the Legal Cannabis Industry
Distillate is used in a variety of products within the legal cannabis industry. It is a key ingredient in many cannabis concentrates, such as shatter, wax, and live resin. These concentrates are popular among consumers for their high potency and the unique effects they produce.
