An Extract Evolution
Most cannabis extraction techniques rely on a solvent to extract cannabinoids and terpenes into a refined, potent substance. Unfortunately, most of these methods also concentrate toxins from the cannabis, like pesticides, herbicides, aflatoxins (from mold and mildew), or heavy metals.
