are compounds that have been carefully and purposefully removed from their source material to create a unique, concentrated form of the substance. The extraction process involves separating one or more desired compounds from the raw material using a solvent, physical separation, or a combination of both. In the context of cannabis, an extract refers to a concentrated form of the plant’s chemical compounds, such as cannabinoids (THC and CBD) and terpenes, which are obtained through various extraction methods. These methods include butane or CO2 extraction and result in a more potent and versatile product than the raw plant material. Examples of cannabis extracts include oil, shatter, wax, and distillate. Extracts are commonly used in products such as edibles, tinctures, topicals, and vaporizable products.
