The popularity of marijuana has increased exponentially in the past few decades, especially when it comes to harnessing the plant's inherent medicinal properties. With 29 states legalizing medical marijuana and 8 legalizing it for personal recreational use, quality is becoming a focus point. Many users are simply not content smoking the plant and thereby inhaling the carcinogens that occur through combustion. Not only does this method of ingestion waste excess product but it can be a little more strenuous on the body. This is why vaping and the use of concentrates is becoming an increasingly popular method of ingestion. Concentrates are usually vaped, dabbed or taken as a tincture. Many are created using butane which leaves behind residual petroleum particles and other toxic elements that are inhaled along with the concentrate. Supercritical CO2 extraction offers a much healthier way of making concentrates and the CO2 oil left behind is safer, containing only the good stuff that you want to ingest.
CO2 stands for carbon dioxide, a gas that is produced naturally when we breathe. For this reason, it is considered harmless and perfectly safe. It is nontoxic and the CO2 extraction process doesn't contribute to carbon emission in the atmosphere nor does it contain any flammable petroleum based solvents. The process of making a CO2 based product actually cleans the marijuana as well, killing any microbial bacteria, mold, mildew or insect mites that could be in the cannabis. For this reason, it creates a much cleaner concentrate. The extraction process involves only taking the positive desired compounds from a marijuana plant to create a CO2 oil concentrate that is cleaner, safer and healthier.
