Biotechnological cannabis company Extractioneering has come up with a way to carbonate cannabis resin that it claims will bolster flavour and effect to become the “champagne” of weed.
By carbonating the cannabis resin, “this technique combines the carbonating effect of CO2 (carbon dioxide), used as a cosolvent, in conjunction with a typical hydrocarbon butane extraction,” the company explains.
In a Q&A posted by the company in 2021, Daniel Hayden, Ph.D. describes the process as follows: “CO2 is introduced to the plant material prior to extraction. This carbonates the trichomes and CO2 is then bound to all resin molecules protecting them through extract maturity.”
Haden, a plant molecular physiologist and founder of Extractioneering, notes that “after the extracted resin is ‘cured’, it continues to release CO2 from these molecules and, when agitated, it increases this release.”
“Carbonation of the cannabis extract makes for
