The THC Distillate is a runny, translucent, and highly purified form of tetrahydrocannabinol or most well-known as the THC. The THC distillate is an oil devoid of wax and other compounds from the raw cannabis plant. The consistency of this distillate is thicker than that of the oil, and it has a clear to clear-golden color. Many enthusiasts enjoy the THC distillate because of its potency and versatility. It has a high concentration of THC, which gives it an extraordinary high effect. This concentrate undergoes distillation that eliminates different cannabis compounds at different temperatures. This extensive process allows only one cannabinoid to remain as the concentrate.
How is the THC Distillate used?
You can consume the THC distillate through a vape or a dab rig. You can also consume a THC distillate through a portable vaporizer or a vape pen for a more convenient way. The THC Distillate has a very high potency, which means that the psychoactive of this concentrate can be easily felt as soon as you start consuming it. The THC distillate is an odorless cannabis concentrate unless it is flavored. That is why it can also be added to edible. You can also add drops of THC distillate to flowers in rolling paper or a bowl. Adding drops of highly concentrated and potent THC distillate can intensify the intoxicating effect of the flower without altering its flavor.
THC distillate can also be added to edibles and topicals because it does not alter the odor and flavor of primary substances where it is added. Edibles have been the alternative for people who wants to take cannabis products but don’t want to smoke them. The THC distillate gives the desired cannabinoids without the plant-like taste, making it perfect for smoking substitutes. For smoking substitutes like edibles and topicals, a low dosage of THC distillate is advised. Five milligrams is enough for every serving consumption. The THC distillate is widely used as a substitute for smoking because of its versatility. Distillation combines and separates cannabinoids and terpenes, then recombines them into specific ratios and doses.
How is the THC Distillate made?
The THC distillate is a purified and processed cannabis extract, where the THC and CDB are separated from the plant material. The THC and CBD are separated into precise amounts and ratios. This cannabis extract is made by winterization, decarboxylation, and then distillation. This production process is best advised to be done for professionals for health and safety-related concerns.
The process of making THC distillate begins with crude oil extraction. In this phase, the cannabinoids are extracted and separated from the plant material. This extraction can happen through physical or chemical means. The physical separation of the cannabis extract from the plant material involves sieving or rosin. While for the chemical mean, supercritical fluid carbon dioxide can be done. The physical means of extraction creates more plant impurities in the plant extract than that of chemical means. Either way, the crude extract will still produce impurities removed before the crude oil is separated into individual cannabinoids.
The next step in making THC distillate is winterization. In this process, the crude extract is purified by adding ethanol and exposing it to a very cold environment for 24 to 48 hours. In this way, all impurities separate from the extract and fall at the bottom of the container. Then the extract goes through decarboxylation and finally distillation to create the pure and potent THC distillate.
