Cannabis extracts are one subtype of cannabis concentrates. More specifically, they’re any type of concentrate obtained from cannabis via means of chemical extraction. To carry out the extraction process a solvent of some sort is used, something to ‘pull’ out the plant’s active ingredients.
Why specialized cannabis extracts? While there’s nothing wrong with other types of products, cannabis extracts carry their own set of benefits. They’re pure, potent, and more bioavailable than many other delivery methods, especially if taken in tincture form. Cannabis extracts are also legal and safe, thanks to evolving production regulations.
There are three parts to traditional cannabis extracts — and to plant extracts in general:
Solute | The substance that gets dissolved. In our case, cannabis gets partially dissolved.
Solvent | The substance that does the dissolving. Usually, it’s a liquid.
Solution | The final substance. It’s a combination of solute + solvent.
