Some purification methods make cannabis extract less pure

During the conversion of cannabis into concentrated extracts, a purification step is often applied to remove residues of solvents or other contaminants. According to trade publication Groentennieuws, a commonly used process in some cases may actually have the opposite effect.

The publication reports that certain purification techniques do not fully break down or remove all unwanted substances. As a result, traces may still end up in the final product, without this always being evident from analyses. More details about which methods are specifically intended are missing.

The source does not emphasize that all cannabis extracts are unsafe as a result. However, it does raise questions about the reliability of some common purification processes in the sector.

This report is a summary based on the mentioned source and is not medical advice. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist in case of complaints.
