Since opening our doors in 2018, we’ve been committed to providing top-quality cannabis products and exceptional customer service to the Las Vegas community. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of cannabis extraction methods.

Common Extraction Methods

1. CO2 Extraction
2. Ethanol Extraction
3. Hydrocarbon Extraction
4. Solventless Extraction

CO2 Extraction

CO2 extraction is a popular method due to its safety and efficiency. This process uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull desired compounds from the cannabis plant. The result is a pure, high-quality extract free from harmful residues.

Ethanol Extraction

This method involves using ethanol as a solvent to strip cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. It’s known for its ability to produce full-spectrum extracts, preserving a wide range of beneficial compounds.

Hydrocarbon Extraction

Hydrocarbon extraction typically uses butane or propane to extract cannabinoids. This method is efficient and can produce high-potency concentrates, but requires careful handling due to the flammable nature of the solvents.

Solventless Extraction

Techniques like rosin pressing and ice water extraction fall under this category. These methods don’t use chemical solvents, instead relying on physical processes to separate trichomes from the plant material.
