Extract

Extraction means selecting and extracting the active compounds of a plant, such as THC or CBD, using chemical or physical processes, through which a concentrated extract is created.

There are two main categories:

Solvent-based methods (such as CO₂, ethanol, or butane), which use chemicals to dissolve and isolate the compounds.

Solventless methods (such as heat and pressure, or ice water separation), which remove compounds without chemicals, e.g., rosin or ice-water hash.

The advantage is achieving higher concentration and better utilization of the plant's active components, as well as controlling the purity and quality of the final product.

Extracts with high THC content are illegal in Denmark. Weedshop.dk exclusively sells legal collector's items with under 0.2% THC and 0% HHC. This dictionary is for informational purposes only and describes terminology within cannabis.
