Understanding Cannabis Extraction
At Lucy Sky Cannabis Boutique, we believe in educating our customers about the products they consume. One of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis production is the extraction process, which transforms raw plant material into concentrated forms of cannabinoids and terpenes.
Common Extraction Methods
There are several methods used to extract compounds from cannabis plants:
- CO2 Extraction
- Ethanol Extraction
- Hydrocarbon Extraction
- Solventless Extraction
CO2 Extraction: A Closer Look
CO2 extraction is one of the most popular methods in the industry due to its efficiency and safety. Here’s how it works:
1. Pressurization: CO2 is pressurized until it reaches a supercritical state.
2. Extraction: The supercritical CO2 acts as a solvent, dissolving the desired compounds from the plant material.
3. Separation: The CO2 is returned to its gaseous state, leaving behind the extracted compounds.
4. Purification: The extract undergoes further refinement to remove any remaining plant matter or impurities.
The Importance of Proper Extraction
Proper extraction techniques are crucial for producing high-quality cannabis products. They ensure:
– Purity of the final product
– Preservation of beneficial compounds
– Consistency in potency and effects
