// Definition
The question of whether molecular distillation can effectively separate pesticide residues from cannabinoid distillate, and the critical importance of starting with clean input material.
// From the Episode
Nad from Root Sciences (the molecular distillation manufacturer) stated that unfortunately pesticides have very similar molecular weights to cannabinoids, making molecular distillation alone insufficient for remediation. Mark Scialdone confirmed that if residual pesticide residue enters the distillation process, it may co-distill with cannabinoids. The discussion emphasized that clean starting material is essential regardless of extraction method.
