  • However, THC and CBD in crystalline form provide some essential advantages

Purity and potency are in todays market full of first class cannabis concentrates the main driver of sales. Chemists and engineers engaged in the development of new and better types of cannabis extracts strive to move the quality bar further and further.

It is possible quality of tinks todayturand extracts of marijuana still improve?

One of the questions that more demanding customers interested in cannabis products are: "Can individual cannabinoids be isolated and ready for use separately, alone?" As you can guess - yes, they can.

Chemists and people dealExtracts are now able to prepare a crystalline isolate consisting of THCA and CBD. Products of this type are called "crystalinne" in English.

THCA and CBDA cannabis in crystal?

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid are the two most prominent cannabinoids occurring in the resin produced by the cannabis flowers. Both THCA and CBDA are precursors to the resulting and more commonly used THC and CBD. During the final stage of aging of cannabis flowers, the decarboxylation of cannabinoid precursors and their final conversion into psychoactive substances occurs.

"The icing on the cake is nowadays already diverse ways of heating cannabis flowers, during which the final decarboxylation and activation of the active substances occurs. "

Overall, medical cannabis contains literally hundreds of different active and inactive substances. These substances are no less varied in their structure when viewed under a microscope. THCA and CBDA are suspiciously similar and their molecular, crystalline structure is typical of solid and lattice forms. When they are isolated, THCA and CBDA appear roughly like snowflakes or crushed salt.

Isolated THCA a CBDA is by far the purest available form of concentrates with a potency of up to 99.9%. However, this also means that inthere is no trace of plant terpenes, flavonoids, fats, lipids or any other substance typical of plant bodies.

Komthe knitting, very detailed and specific process of cannabis crystalline production is for the time being a secret of production. Certain information, however, has already escaped the secret grid.

AsDoes Cannabis Concentrate Produce in Crystal?

The whole process begins with the selection of a given cannabinoid" extract in the form of a concentrate. The original form of extracts outside of THCA and CBDA also contains, together with them, remnants of plant terpenes, flavonoids and so on. In order to achieve a pure form of THCA with CBDA, a number of "wash" separations - substance separation - must first be performed.

First wash hereit is done using popular hydrocarbon hexane together with acetic acid (something like extra strong vinegar). When these substances are mixed with the extract, the plant impurities and unwanted particles are separated. To ensure proper separation, the whole mixture must be mixed in a special, rotary evaporator, called "rotovap". Rotovaps are designed to be capable of gently separating solvents from the desired substances using rapid rotation, introduction of heat and pressure.

Once the first step is complete, noas for the remaining cannabinoids to undergo a process called "preparative chromatography." ShortenedDuring the chromatography process, the desired substances are filtered by sending through different types of other substances at different speeds. The effect of other substances is then to repeat the first rotovap washing step.

The final stage is then preparing the product for final consumption. During this process it is only necessary to get rid of the residual cannabinoids from the residual cannabinoids. With methane and pentane, the final separation takes place, but it needs to be done again in several steps. Each separator must first be added and then separated again using a rotovap.

Once the whole separation method is successfulall that we have is crystalline cannabinoids of 99% purity.

How to use crystalline THCA and CBDA?

To achieve a psychoactive effect using pure, crystalline THCA, it must first heat the substances. However, it is very interesting here that cannabinoid crystalline can be used in raw form for its therapeutic effects and, moreover, with many types of methods.

Crystalline Cannabinoids JSThey can be easily digested for the body and can be added to meals or metered into individual capsules and pills. Dosage is in thisin the case of a completely pure crystalline form it is also easier to measure.

Userpeople who want to rapidly activate their crystalline cannabinoids and often choose a method to achieve a psychoactive effect dubbingor using a vaporizer. By rapid heating and THCA inhalation, instantaneous conversion to active THC occurs. Rapid heating can also activate the CBDA, which does not cause the same narcotic effect. However, therapeutic effects are achieved in both cases and often undesirable effects of high doses of THC can be prevented by CBDA.

Crystalline THCA and CBDA are tasteless andthe smell, which has stopped customers from becoming interesting after a while. Crystalline, hemp products enriched with optional terpene breaths are now found. Moreover, the right combination of cannabinoids with terpenes can achieve a slightly different effect as terpenes directly affect the effects of certain cannabinoids.

As you can see, cry cannabis can provide a number of benefits classic extracts simply not enough . The only drawback here is, of course, the complicated production process that few producers have yet to do. Thus, cannabinoids in crystalline form are very expensive and not available in any market.

If you have or will be lucky enough to try crystalline cannabinoids.
