At SacredMeds we offer a variety of Concentrates, including CO2 Oil, to help you find the experience that best suits your needs.
What is CO2 Oil?
CO2 oil is the name used to refer to any cannabis concentrate that is made using Carbon Dioxide as a solvent. Because of the broad spectrum of products that can be made this way, CO2 oil can refer to several specific types of cannabis concentrates. As long as CO2 was used during the extraction process, the final product can be called CO2 oil. Similarly, this includes CO2 hemp extracts, which use hemp plants to extract CBD oils.
What are Concentrates?
Concentrates are made by either isolating or extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from Cannabis Flower, and concentrating them into their active form. Though there are many different methods for isolation and extraction, the process generally uses a combination of pressure and solvents to separate the active ingredients. As a result, you’re left with a substance that is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, but free of biomass (organic vegetation).
You have no doubt seen the tiny hairs that cover the Cannabis plant before, they give it a crystal-like shine and are generally quite sticky. These tiny hairs are actually glands called Trichomes, and they are responsible for producing cannabinoids and terpenes. Concentrates isolate these compounds and concentrate them, providing a higher potency and fuller flavour.
