What are Cannabis Extracts? Cannabis extracts, crafted using solvents like alcohol or butane, isolate active elements like cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. Used in various products, from capsules to sublingual strips, these extracts offer versatile consumption options.
How do they Work? Cannabis extracts can be orally consumed through ingestion or sublingual/buccal absorption.
