What are the typical methods for extracting #CBD? In order to extract #Cannabidiol (CBD) from the hemp plant, there are various extraction methods available, such as: ☑️ CBD extraction with hydrocarbons, such as n-heptane ☑️ CBD extraction with alcohols and vegetable oils ☑️ CBD extraction with carbon dioxide Extraction with hydrocarbons such as n-heptane is one of the most common methods. Since the natural substance CBD is not very soluble in water, #paraffinic #solvents are a good choice. In a specialised apparatus, the plant material is repeatedly flushed with fresh solvent until it is exhausted. The n-heptane is eventually removed by distillation and the last traces of it are removed under reduced pressure. The procedure is well known and can be easily carried out.

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found primarily in fresh, undried cannabis plants. Here's a description of its physical characteristics: Appearance: THCA is typically found as a colorless, crystalline substance when purified. In its raw plant form, it is not visibly distinct but contributes to the overall appearance of raw cannabis leaves and buds. Consistency: In its pure, isolated form, THCA can exist as a crystalline powder or solid. These crystals can be quite delicate and can range from powdery to slightly harder, chunky formations depending on the extraction and purification methods used. Solubility: THCA is moderately soluble in polar organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol. It is less soluble in non-polar solvents and water, reflecting its non-polar nature. Decarboxylation: When exposed to heat, light, or prolonged storage, THCA undergoes decarboxylation, losing its carboxylic acid group and converting into THC, its psychoactive counterpart. This process can change the physical properties, resulting in a sticky, resinous substance rather than a crystalline solid. Odor and Taste: In its pure form, THCA does not have a significant odor or taste. However, when present in raw cannabis, it may carry the plant's natural aromas due to other terpenes and flavonoids in the plant material.

Are hemp derived delta-9 thc edibles legal? Looks like another thca rabbit hole, I'm about to go down. Ok, so I found out that it is 100% not legal for me to grow thca flower, so I'm putting that idea behind me, but what about jumping on this d9 edible band wagon? How does that work? It would seem unlike thca flower you don't have the required oversight of the USDA since it is a post harvest product. So that's good. It also seems with a bit of formulation magic you can easily pack 10mg of thc into a large candy that has a total mass of less than 0.3% delta-9-thc. So that's good. But like thca flower. Where does that d9 come from? It would seem silly to think that the d9 actually comes from extraction of hemp flower, that would be extremely inefficient. So is most of it just converted from CBD or extracted from thc flower? Extraction from thc flower wouldn't be legal, so let's assume it's all being converted from CBD. So that's good. However....Here is my first block in the road. How do you make a batch of delta-9-thc gummies without starting with a concentrate higher than 0.3%? 🤔 How can you legally buy delta-9-thc distillate? I don't think you could, right? So is this just like thca flower, the final product is "legal" but the process to get to that final product is not? Can someone explain this better to me?

The process of converting CBD into Delta-8 THC is one of the safest in the industry. It uses controlled amounts of solvent and catalysts, ensuring that the final product is clean and pure. Instead of focusing on unfounded concerns, let's recognize that this process is rigorously designed to ensure safety for consumers. The real focus should be on proper regulation, not fear-driven bans. Dr. Sean Norris paper below outlines these principles. https://lnkd.in/gmhvq-G6

Crude CBD oil, a semi-finished product, is procured through the initial extraction process. This process involves the use of solvents such as hydrocarbons, CO2, or ethanol to dissolve trichomes from the plant material. Once the solvent is eliminated, what remains is the raw or 'crude' cannabis oil. Crude CBD oil is abundant in desirable compounds such as THC, CBD, and terpenes. However, it also contains unwanted elements like flavonoids, waxes, and discolorations. These organic contaminants, including chlorophyll, fats, and waxes, affect the oil's color, appearance, consistency, and flavor. To make the oil suitable for commercial use, it undergoes further refinement to distill individual cannabinoids or remove organic contaminants. This post-processing refinement enhances the oil's color, clarity, and consistency, increases its potency, refines or customizes the terpene profile, customizes the cannabinoid profile, and develops specific characteristics for the intended application. Several established technologies, such as wiped film distillation, winterization, and decarboxylation, are employed in the hemp and cannabis sector to transform crude oil extract into a more desirable and pure final consumer product. Crude hemp oil and its refined byproducts are used in thousands of consumer and commercial products. These include items containing CBD, CBG, CBC, and CBN, which all start as crude oil before becoming the tinctures, creams, balms, and edibles available on the market.

#Distillate is great, but #LiquidDiamonds are better. One glance at that golden, nearly translucent liquid, and you’ll be just as hypnotized as everyone else. Liquid Diamonds are pure #D9 #THC intensity with zero aromatics, and out of all of the concentrates on the market today, they have the highest active THC purity. Brands can use it in all cannabis applications, and it’s particularly valuable in products where total THC content matters most (infused flower, pre-rolls, vapes, etc.). Think of it this way. You get to choose the music, and liquid diamonds control the volume. So, are liquid diamonds better than distillate? Before we answer that, it’s important to remember that cannabis concentrates have come a long way. Thousands of years ago, hashish was all the rage. As extraction technology evolved, our ability to refine and purify concentrates also advanced. We’re talking about concentrates like live resin, rosin, budder, shatter, crumble, HTE, bubble hash, etc. When it comes to high-purity THC concentrates with little to no flavor or aroma, distillate has been a decent option. However, liquid diamonds offer some key advantages. While you could say that liquid diamonds are “better” than distillate, it may be more accurate to say that they’re the next evolution of cannabis concentrates. Where distillate can still contain other cannabinoids, volatile organic compounds, and sometimes even residual solvents, liquid diamonds only have THC. That’s not all, though. Learn more about the differences between liquid diamonds and distillate, plus discover how the world’s biggest cannabis hydrocarbon extractor is pushing the boundaries of cannabis toll processing.

FAQ: Is there a difference between CBD oil and hemp oil? Yes, there is a difference! CBD oil is derived from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant and contains higher levels of CBD, while hemp oil is made from hemp seeds and is primarily used for its nutritional benefits, containing little to no CBD. Understanding this distinction helps you choose the right product for your needs. 👌🏼 Discover our signature collection of CBG, CBN, CBD formula, and the true healing power of hemp. medicalmikes.com #CBN #CBD #CBG #hemp #wellness #MedicalMikes #fullspectrum #organic #cbnoil #cbdoil #cbgoil #newyorkcbdoil #newyorkcbd

Important reminder about CBD and THC in food and beverages!

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐂𝐁𝐃 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧-𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥. The European Commission has update the results of consultations processes (article 4 of Regulation (EC) 2015/2283). Several opinions have been published, all evaluated by authorities from Czech Republic: 🚫 CBD is still a novel food. Three requests have been analyzed: CBD extract obtained by CO2 extraction, CBD isolate/extract, and CBD alcoholic extract. All these ingredients are considered novel food due to a lack of history of conusmption. 🚫 Iron-enriched yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is also novel. The ingredient has an iron content of 1%. 🆗 Capsicum chinense, or Chinese pepper, is not novel owing to its history of consumption before May 1997. #novelfood #cbd #cannabidiol #FoodchainID
