Solventless vs. Standard Edibles: What's the Difference?

Edibles are a popular way to consume cannabis, and for good reason. They're discreet, easy to dose, and can offer a long-lasting high. But with so many different types of edibles on the market, it can be tough to know which ones are right for you.

Here, we discuss the distinction between edibles made with solventless or standard extracts.

What are solventless edibles?

Solventless edibles are made using cannabis extracts that have been created without the use of any solvents. There are different methods, such as rosin pressing, ice water extraction, and kief collection.

Solventless extracts are generally considered to be the purest and most flavorful type of cannabis extract available. They also contain a wider range of cannabinoids and terpenes than standard extracts, which can lead to a more complex and well-rounded high.

What are standard edibles?

Standard edibles are made using cannabis extracts that have been created using a variety of different solvents. The most common solvents used to make cannabis extracts are butane, ethanol, and CO2.

Standard extracts are generally less expensive and easier to produce than solventless extracts. However, they may also contain trace amounts of solvents and other impurities. Standard extracts also tend to have a narrower range of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes than solventless extracts.
