The PLUS Guide to Solventless Hash

Once you go solventless, you may never go back.

Have You Heard the Latest About Hash?

In all honesty, it feels like a question you could ask every day, as in recent years, the practice of hash making has been radically transformed by modern innovations. Once relegated to the underground, hash has now become a veritable industry unto itself.

To appreciate its staggering scale, scope, and diversity, simply walk into your neighborhood dispensary and study the menu. You’ll find shelves devoted to concentrates in a myriad of peculiar-sounding forms, from badder and crumble to wax and shatter. In addition to these distinctions — which are used to define variances in hash consistency and texture — there are also crucial differences to look for in terms of how it was manufactured.

Not All Hash is Created Equal: Solvent vs. Solventless

The process for creating hash involves isolating a cannabis plant’s trichomes (resin glands) from the rest of the plant. Once they’ve been separated, the resulting extract is then subjected to some combination of heat and pressure until it takes the desired form.

Before the arrival of state-legal cannabis markets, the options for stripping cannabis flower of its trichomes were relatively few. The main ones involved soaking it in ice water (resulting in bubble hash), dry sifting it (resulting in brick hash), or simply just using your fingers to get the job done. Today, however, another option exists: solvents.

The appeal, especially for large-scale manufacturers, is that using a solvent like butane, carbon dioxide, or ethanol — three of the most popular options — is less labor intensive, resulting in a faster turnaround and the ability to produce products in larger batches.

In this process, a chemical agent is used to strip the trichomes away. Even though solvents are purged from the finished product, there are those who may prefer to avoid any risk of residual toxins or unwanted contaminants. In that case, your best bet is to stick with solventless options.
