The cannabis world has experienced a boom in products that are scientifically designed to deliver unparalleled potency. Until now, concentrates have made up the lion’s share of this category. But cannabis distillates have arrived with the promise of being the next step in scientific efficiency, offering THC levels over 99%.
Cannabis or Weed distillate is the new concentrate 2.0. The new generation of extracts and oils. Through the process of distillation, a final product of high purity and potency can be produced, and possibly be a game changer for both recreational and medicinal use.
Innovation in the cannabis world is evolving rapidly, and one of its main goals seems to be the creation of a product with the highest possible purity and potency. Cannabis distillate could be the next step towards that goal.
The perfect version of a strong and pure product wouldn’t only provide recreational users with an extremely easy and immediate way to get the perfect psychoactive high, but it would also allow medical users to receive an instant dose of a highly effective and potent medicine.
Cannabis derivatives have come a long way from smoking joints filled with hashish or dried flowers. Oils, tinctures, and extraction processes have served as a springboard to a fully evolved cannabis scene that offers countless ways to get high and much stronger and more effective experiences.
Today, certain extracts and oils are much more potent, ranging from 70-85%, but are still mild compared to the distillate. Cannabis distillate is the result of a process that can allow for up to 99% potency and purity of cannabinoids! This way, you can get the desired cannabinoid for certain medicinal uses.
While this potency is unlike anything else, care must be taken when ingesting this product. Even the most seasoned cannabis veteran could have a very bad time if he or she overdoses. However, a product of this purity can also offer recreational smokers a high they may not have experienced before, and medical users a better chance of combating a range of ailments.
Cannabis distillates are truly pure. And it’s with good reason that they have come to be known as “pure”. Compared to other types of cannabis extraction techniques, such as BHO or CO₂, distillate produces a resin composed almost entirely of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, without any unwanted residues and therefore much purer.
The various methods of making shatter, hash, or wax produce a very potent and respectable result, but the process involved in its creation almost always involves some slight contamination.
Many products are made using solvents or butane, along with pressing and rinsing methods. Although effective, these techniques can leave residues that could contaminate the taste and be harmful to the body.
The impressive purity of cannabis distillates is achieved through the process of distillation, which is the action of purifying a liquid by heating and cooling, so it is important to know about boiling points and other specifics. Distillation extracts the essential oils and compounds from a plant and, in doing so, extracts what is valuable and leaves everything else behind.
In the case of the cannabis plant, the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids are what we want to keep in the final product, for their effects, flavor, aroma, and medicinal value. The products left behind are waxes, fats, chlorophyll, and various contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
The only disadvantage of this pure substance is that manipulating the proportions can be very complicated!
In a cannabis plant, there is a fixed amount of compounds, and they all interact with each other (the so-called “entourage effect”) to produce a greater effect. That is why different strains have different effects, because they have varying ratios of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds. When creating a distillate, the manipulation of these ratios will depend on the creator.
It could be said that the distillate maker is playing with nature, and if done incorrectly, it could result in a very unpleasant experience. For example, pure THC, without other cannabinoids to modulate and complement its effect, is said to cause a horrible experience.
Distillates allow for a lot of control, something that will be incomparable in professional hands. Whether you want to try distillate for medicinal or recreational purposes, it’s very important to know what type of product to use and how to moderate the dosage of THC and CBD.
