Cannabis extraction methods are constantly evolving, but two main categories dominate the industry: Rosin (solventless) extraction and solvent-based extraction (like hydrocarbon or ethanol). Each has its benefits and ideal use cases.
Rosin Extraction: Pure & Solventless
🔥 How It Works:
Uses heat and pressure to squeeze cannabinoids and terpenes from flower or hash.
No solvents, just pure mechanical extraction.
✅ Pros:
Solvent-free, clean extract
Retains full terpene profile (amazing flavor)
Simple, safe, and requires minimal equipment
❌ Cons:
Lower yield than solvent-based methods
More labor-intensive for large-scale production
Solvent-Based Extraction: High-Yield Efficiency
🔥 How It Works:
Uses butane, ethanol, or CO₂ to dissolve cannabinoids and terpenes, then removes the solvent.
✅ Pros:
Higher yields – More efficient for large-scale production
Wide range of products (shatter, sauce, distillate, vape oils)
Scalability – Preferred for commercial operations
❌ Cons:
Requires solvent recovery equipment
More regulatory oversight and safety precautions
Which One Should You Choose?
For small-batch, premium-quality extracts → Rosin
For high-yield, commercial production → Solvent-Based
Both methods produce incredible cannabis extracts, but it depends on your business goals and scale. Which do you prefer? Let’s discuss!
