SOLVENTLESS EXTRACTION
By: Cannabis, Inc.
What is Solventless Extraction?
At cannabis inc., we only utilize natural elements such as water, cold, heat, and pressure to do our
trichome separation and cannabinoid extraction. Because of this, any plant material we process must
pass our rigorous selection criteria to ensure that only the optimum fresh frozen (FF) strains are
selected.
To do this, we get up close and personal with the plant before harvest **microscopes in hand** to
ensure that we only source the ideal strains and phenotypes that will produce the highest quality
end-products. Once the optimal plants are selected, we work with our cultivator partners to immediately
freeze it for 24-48 hours before it is brought in-house. A er the material arrives at our facility, we “wash”
the FF material by hand with ice cold reverse osmosis water. Agitation from this wash causes trichomes
(resin heads) to break o from their stalk and sink. e water is then drained through several di erent
sized sieves/ lters and collected. e hash is then graded based on quality before freeze drying.
For some products, such as our staple Cold Cure Live Rosin, the trichomes will then undergo a
pressing process where low heat and pressure is used to further lter and extract resin from the head.
Once extracted, we send much of this rosin to either be further re ned (using proprietary combinations
of artisan techniques), put into our cold cure chamber for optimal curing, or to our kitchen to be infused
into edible products such as Greenola Bites, Brownies, or infused Coconut Oil.
Why Solventless?
We believe in quality in-quality out. We also believe that nature gives us all we need to thrive. So for us, it was something of a no-brainer to eliminate any unnatural chemicals from our separation and/or extraction processing. Doing so allows us to sleep at night with the condence that the products you purchase from cannabis.inc are clean and free from any unnecessary and unwanted ingredients.
