// Definition
A highly purified cannabis extract produced through fractional distillation, typically yielding 90-99% pure cannabinoids (usually THC or CBD). The distillation process uses heat and vacuum to separate cannabinoids from terpenes, waxes, and other plant compounds, resulting in a fully decarboxylated, clear to amber product.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman and Mark Scialdone had an extended discussion about cannabinoid distillate in episode 031. Mark explained that NMR analysis of 'the clear' showed it was 'amazingly clean' — a textbook THC spectrum with less than 2-8% of anything else. They discussed how the distillation process fully decarboxylates the product and removes minor terpene components, making it ideal for edibles since it has no cannabis flavor.
