Cannabis is a plant that is grown for its psychoactive and medicinal properties. The plant contains a number of chemical compounds known as cannabinoids, the most well-known of which is cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Extraction is a used to isolate and concentrate the desired compounds from the cannabis plant. Interest in cannabis extraction and, by extension, in cannabis extraction equipment was rising from earlier as countries legalized its medical and recreational variants.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the cannabinoid (compound in cannabis) of most interest due to its healing and non-psychoactive properties. This naturally raises interest in CBD extraction technologies such as cryogenic ethanol extraction and CO2 Extraction. However, full spectrum cannabis extracts that also contain other cannabinoids and non-cannabinoids deliver best results due to synergic impact called “entourage effect”.
