Post 4/5 - No Synthetic Cannabinoids 🌿 The THC used in Rebel Rabbit's formula is what's known as "mother liquor". Mother Liquor contains natural cannabinoids versus synthetic cannabinoids. Our partners at SōRSE Technology and Open Book Extracts handle this process for us but I'll attempt to explain.... The process starts off pretty standard with an extraction from hemp biomass into a crude extract. Then the crude is distilled into a "Full Spectrum Distillate". The next step is unique - the CBD is then crystallized from the Full Spectrum Distillate, leaving behind some CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids - this is called "Mother Liquor". From here, there is another round of distillation followed by chromatography. These steps are intended to refine the other cannabinoids down and isolate the THC. Does this make sense?? 👨🔬 How am I doing Diana Eberlein Danny Willis ? The point here is that the THC found in the Mother Liquor is the same THC that was naturally present in the hemp plant. Meaning nothing was synthetically created or converted. Customers and even some regulators prefer this method because the cannabinoids truly are natural. This method is more expensive than synthetic conversions but at Rebel Rabbit we felt it was important to be as natural as possible. We're already using natural and organic flavor and sugar, so why not stay natural with the THC? #drinkcannabis #hempbeverages #highseltzer
You forgot about the "unique" part where the distillate is mixed with pentane? Not so "natural and organic......"
bragging about formulating with mother liquor (a waste stream) is ridiculous lol
Tough crowd in here. Good job man and wonderful products. A lot of misinformation coming from the comments.
I think your suppliers are blowing smoke
Love this series, Pierce Wylie! Keep leading by example and investing in Rebel Rabbit's quality and longevity! Love working with both the Rebel Rabbit and Open Book Extracts teams!
Good move working with Sorse! Good people, solid operation, and great emulsions. I managed the facility they operated out of in SoCal and got to work with some of their team. Always very professional.
Keep the conversation going,
What’s the THC % of mother liquor

3moSolvent based extraction and isolation will result in a product that is virtually no different than its synthesized variant. Also, the residual THC extracted from hemp biomass is the same THC you will find in any other plant that has naturally occurring THC compounds. The part where you statement reigns truth is if you are comparing an extracted compound of naturally occurring THC-D9 and comparing it to the synthesized conversion of CBD to THC-D8 with traces of D9. This typically requires reverse iso-merization. The immense heat and free bonds is actually breaking down the molecular bond of CBD, and modifying it to become a variant of THC - typically D8 with traces of D9. If Rebel Rabbit felt it was important to remain natural, they should stick to full-spectrum extracts, like fresh frozen hash rosin that gets pressed over and over until you are left with what some could call very close to THC isolate. The purest natural THC you're ever going to get.
