Cannabis enthusiasts and consumers are well-aware of the wide range of benefits that cannabis products offer. Within this plant lies the power to enhance our well-being, but how does the science work and why should you care about CBD extraction methods? At Ashario Cannabis, we prioritize educating our customers and providing the best cannabis products for every lifestyle. So let's dive into the world of CBD extraction!
The Science Behind CBD Extraction from Cannabis
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. For it to become the potent and beneficial substance we know and love, it must first be extracted from the plant material. The extraction process involves breaking down the cannabis into its basic components and separating the desired compounds, such as CBD and other cannabinoids, from the unwanted plant material.
There are several methods of extraction that can be employed, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. At Ashario Cannabis, we focus on two of the most popular and effective methods:
- METHOD 1: CO2 EXTRACTION METHOD
This method utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) under high pressure and low temperatures to extract CBD and other essential compounds from cannabis. The result is a pure, potent, and high-quality extract that can be used in various forms, such as tinctures, edibles, topicals, and vape oils.
- METHOD 2: SOLVENT EXTRACTION METHOD
This method involves using organic solvents, such as ethanol or butane, to dissolve the desired compounds from the cannabis plant material. The solvent is then evaporated, leaving behind a concentrated extract with the beneficial cannabinoids.
The Drawbacks Of The Extraction Procedures
Each method has its own set of drawbacks:
- CO2 extraction requires expensive equipment and expertise, which may result in higher product costs.
- Solvent extraction may leave behind trace amounts of solvents, potentially affecting product safety and quality.
Which Method Is Best For Cannabis Extraction?
While both methods can produce high-quality extracts, CO2 extraction is considered the most advanced and cleanest way to obtain CBD and other cannabinoids. However, solvent extraction may still be a viable option for some small-scale producers or DIY enthusiasts.
