Concentrate vs Extract Classification

๐Ÿ’ง Extraction First mentioned: Ep. 079

A regulatory distinction separating mechanically produced cannabis concentrates (using no chemical solvents) from chemically extracted products, first codified in Oregon law and later adopted by other states.

Oregon defined 'concentrates' as products made via mechanical or non-chemical extraction (dry sift, bubble hash, dry ice hash, rosin) and 'extracts' as products using potentially harmful solvents (butane, propane, CO2). This distinction protected solventless producers from the stricter licensing requirements applied to hydrocarbon extractors.
