The Evolution of Cannabis Processing
At Lux Leaf Dispensary, where community blooms and cannabis flourishes, we’re often asked about the intricate processes behind creating cannabis concentrates. As your trusted source for cannabis education in the Matteson and Richton Park areas, we’re here to break down the science.
Primary Extraction Methods
Modern cannabis concentrate production typically involves three main approaches:
• Hydrocarbon extraction (using butane or propane)
• CO2 extraction
• Solventless techniques
The Science Behind Concentrates
The fundamental goal of extraction is to isolate the beneficial compounds from the plant material. This process creates potent products that can reach up to 90% THC content, compared to traditional flower, which typically contains 15-25% THC.
Different Types of Concentrates
Each extraction method produces unique consistencies:
• Shatter – Glass-like appearance
• Budder – Creamy, butter-like texture
• Live Resin – Preserved terpene profiles
• Rosin – Heat and pressure extracted
Safety and Quality Control
Professional extraction requires specialized equipment and strict protocols. At Lux Leaf, all our concentrates undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and potency before reaching our shelves in Olympia Fields and surrounding areas.
