For many people throughout the cannabis industry, the words hydrocarbon extraction often elicits very “polarizing” opinions. For some, it’s the ideal method for creating the best cannabis concentrates currently available. For others, it provokes images of toxic by-products and explosive outcomes. The reality of course, is somewhere in between. If done correctly hydrocarbon extraction can definitely produce some incredible products, but when performed incorrectly the results can often be disastrous both for the operators and consumers. Today we go more in-depth on the dangers associated with hydrocarbon extraction and why it gets such a bad image.

As humans, we need certain temperatures and humidity levels in our environment for our bodies to be at their best, and Cannabis Sativa is no different. When conditions drift outside these ranges, bad things usually start happening. For today’s episode we wanted to invite an engineer and expert in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and dehumidification to help us better understand all this. Roberto Battiston, Chief Technology Officer for Inspire Transpiration Solutions, explains how ideal temperature, moisture, and technology interact to help plants stay healthy and thrive. Tune in to learn more one of the industry’s best kept secrets for happy and healthy plants!

For many people throughout the cannabis industry, the words hydrocarbon extraction often elicits very “polarizing” opinions. For some, it’s the ideal method for creating the best cannabis concentrates currently available. For others, it provokes images of toxic by-products and explosive outcomes. The reality of course, is somewhere in between. If done correctly hydrocarbon extraction can definitely produce some incredible products, but when performed incorrectly the results can often be disastrous both for the operators and consumers. Despite being able to use a wide range of compounds to perform this technique, most people focus on just a few molecules, namely butane, propane, pentane, and every so often hexane. Besides discussing the underlying chemistry for hydrocarbon extraction, we’ll compare the benefits and disadvantages between these molecules, the other extraction techniques, as well as tips and tricks to get the best possible products. We bet that you’ll be very surprised with our conclusions at the end of this episode. So, join us for the final section of the primary cannabis extraction suite focusing on the science of hydrocarbon extraction.

I’m sure many people have heard about the “Entourage Effect”, also known as synergism between cannabinoids and other compound in cannabis. But is that actually true? Can the compounds in cannabis really come together to create a significantly different effect or is it just that these compounds are each beneficial and are able to coexist together. Each one having a specific beneficial effect that is simply present or not depending whether you have the compounds there or not. In essence, is the saying “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” an old stoner folktale or scientific fact? In this listener requested episode we’ve decided to bring in to the studio Dr. Cris Alves to help us properly answer this fascinating question.
