What Is Cannabis Distillate?

Cannabis distillate is a highly refined cannabis extract that contains isolated cannabinoids—primarily THC or CBD—in a potent, nearly pure form. It’s made by stripping cannabis oil of all materials and compounds except one specific cannabinoid.

Types of Cannabis Distillates:

• THC Distillate: Contains over 90% THC. Psychoactive and potent.

• CBD Distillate: Contains high concentrations of CBD with trace (or zero) THC.

Because of its purity and versatility, cannabis distillate is often used in vapes, edibles, tinctures, and topicals.

How Is Cannabis Distillate Made?

The distillation process involves:

1. Extraction: Cannabis is extracted using solvents like ethanol or CO2.

2. Winterization: Waxes and fats are removed.

3. Decarboxylation: The cannabinoid acids (like THCA or CBDA) are converted into active forms (THC or CBD).

4. Distillation: The extract is heated to isolate cannabinoids through precise temperature control.

The end product? A translucent, viscous oil containing 80–99% of a single cannabinoid.
