A device designed for the extraction of concentrated cannabis oils, often referred to as “wax” or “dabs,” typically utilizes butane or other solvents to separate these compounds from the plant material. This process yields a potent product with a significantly higher concentration of cannabinoids than traditional flower cannabis. Different extraction methods and equipment exist, ranging from closed-loop systems for commercial production to smaller, at-home extraction kits.
Concentrated cannabis extracts offer a potent and efficient method of consumption, often requiring smaller doses to achieve desired effects. Historically, extraction techniques have evolved from rudimentary methods to sophisticated, controlled processes. The development of more precise extraction technologies has led to safer and more consistent products. The increased potency offers potential benefits for patients seeking targeted therapeutic effects, while also presenting potential risks if used improperly.
