There are numerous ways to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from the flowers of the cannabis plant. This generally involves the use of either a solvent-based or solventless process. Solventless processes include grinding or sifting the flowers to remove the trichomes and generating various types of hash. Solvent extractions involve the use of a solvent such as ethanol, carbon dioxide (CO2), or various hydrocarbons like butane and propane to remove the cannabinoids and terpenes from the flowers and into the solvent.
After the extraction is completed, depending on the solvent there are various downstream processing steps that must occur to remove any plant material or other matter that was co-extracted, along with any remaining residual solvents.
