The purpose of another presentation on extraction of cannabis oil is to review the current trends in the world. The technology for the extraction of potential the active ingredients from botanical sources it’s not a new science for most attendees of this conference. The basic principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics and applied engineering are not new either.
Many scientists have been using disparate solubility of compounds before there was cannabis market. So why attend a presentation on extraction techniques for cannabis plants? Why bother to listen to the first few sentences?
The first reason, is that you are most likely still curious. How does the extraction of this plant compare to years of extraction of essential oils, petroleum products, edible oils and the vast amount of simple preparation techniques that use extraction differs are similar to this plant.
Second, you’re not familiar with extraction, but have read articles everyday about medical marijuana and are looking for scientific facts from an extraction point of view.
Third, you have too much time on your hands right now. There was nothing better to do. Unlikely, but it must be considered as a possibility.

Since the inception of legalized cannabis production in Canada and the United States recalls of mold and pesticide tainted cannabis have repeatedly made headlines, with Powdery Mildew and the fungicides used to control it being the primary contaminant.

Just because recreational marijuana is soon to be nationally legal doesn’t mean the drug warriors have surrendered on all fronts. Hot-button issues continue to swirl around the introduction of cannabis to the market – including intoxicated drivers, workplace safety, additives, underage access, the price point at which bootleg product becomes unprofitable, and whether the Canadian government itself should be a vendor in places like liquor stores. The conversation continues here.

Necessity can be one mother of a motivator. And analysts agree next year’s sudden demand for legal recreational marijuana will expose shortfalls in supply. The same engineering and inventiveness that inspired agriculture’s Green Revolution will be directed to cultivating cannabis on an unprecedented scale. What will the future cannabis farmer’s workplace look like? Will factory farm techniques take over to increase yields? Or will energy and environmental consciousness play a part in the evolution of mass-market grow-ops? The future plays out here.
