This method employs specific hydrocarbons, such as propane and butane, as solvents. These solvents, when mixed with cannabis, effectively extract valuable chemical compounds from the plant. The resultant product is then subjected to additional refinement processes. The final, highly concentrated extracts are used in various forms like cannabis oils, shatter, glass, hash, and wax. When executed correctly in a commercial setting, these extracts have minimal to no hydrocarbon residues.
