Cannabis concentrate, also called marijuana concentrate, marijuana extract, or cannabis extract, is a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD) concentrated mass. Cannabis concentrates contain high THC levels that range from 40% to over 90%,[1][2] stronger in THC content than high-grade marijuana, which normally measures around 20% THC levels.
Volatile solvents, such as ethanol, butane, propane or hexane, may be used to prepare extracts, but can and will possibly lead to fire and explosion hazards in uncontrolled environments.[3][4][5] Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction alleviates concerns of fire and explosion and results in a high-quality product.[6]
Legally produced concentrates for retail sale in legalized U.S. states are often packaged in small lip balm-sized containers.[5]
