What happens when you extract the active ingredients from cannabis flowers with a solvent? Then you get extracts or concentrates that you can consume in different ways.
De eerste geconcentreerde vorm van de cannabisplant was hasj of hasjiesj, waarvan we in onze winkels verschillende varianten (<0,2 THC) aanbieden. Extracten zijn geïsoleerde cannabinoïden zoals CBD en terpenen. Ze worden uit de plant gehaald door oplossing in alcohol, met butaan, propaan of CO2, en verwerkt in uiteenlopende vormen en substanties: shatter, crumble, ice-o, wax, terpsolate…
How do you consume those extracts?
Simply, by smoking them in a joint or pipe, vaping, or mixing them into a tincture. The major brands also offer their own vape pens and cartridges. For example, in our stores you will find a wide range of products from the prominent Happease brand, from smoking devices to concentrates with various special flavors: Strawberry Field, Mountain River, Tropical Sunrise, Lemon Tree, Jungle Spirit...
What are terpenes?
One of the most popular extracts is Terpsolate, carefully selected terpenes infused into diamond-like chunks that optimally preserve all the qualities of the terpenes.
Terpenes are responsible for the smell and taste of the plant, and are also said to have protective medicinal effects.
There are many more active substances in the cannabis plant, so the horizon of the wonderful world of cannabis extracts is still a long way off. In any case, I try to keep a close eye on the latest developments and will keep you informed.
