How to Make Solventless Cannabis Extracts at Home

Introduction

Solventless cannabis extracts are made without chemicals, using only heat, pressure, or ice water. These pure, potent concentrates are popular among health-conscious cannabis users.

Types of Solventless Extracts

  • Rosin: Made by pressing cannabis flower or hash with heat and pressure.
  • Bubble Hash: Created by agitating cannabis in ice water and filtering out trichomes.
  • Dry Sift Kief: A simple method that uses screens to separate trichomes from flower.

How to Make Rosin at Home

  1. Use a Rosin Press or Hair Straightener: Press flower between parchment paper at 180-220°F.
  2. Apply Pressure for 10-30 Seconds: Resin will ooze out, creating a pure concentrate.
  3. Collect and Store: Use a dab tool to gather the rosin and store it in a cool, dark place.

Key Takeaways

  • Solventless extracts use no chemicals, making them a safer alternative to BHO and CO2 extraction.
  • Rosin and bubble hash can be easily made at home with minimal equipment.
  • Proper heat and pressure settings are crucial for making high-quality rosin.
