Specialized equipment designed for extracting concentrates from cannabis plant material often utilizes solvents like butane or propane. These closed-loop systems, engineered for safety and efficiency, separate cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant matter, resulting in a viscous, potent oil. This oil, commonly referred to as “honey oil,” is further processed and refined for various consumption methods.
The development of extraction technology represents a significant advancement in producing concentrated cannabis products. It enables precise control over the final product’s composition and potency, offering potential therapeutic benefits and a wider range of consumption options compared to traditional methods. Historically, extraction methods were less sophisticated and potentially hazardous. Modern closed-loop systems offer significant improvements in safety and efficiency, minimizing risks associated with solvent exposure and maximizing the yield of valuable compounds.
