Making Extraction more Sustainable

As the cannabis industry soars across our earth, we must be mindful of what our planet has already endured. The industry’s monumental popularity means that abundant resources must be used for cultivating cannabis plants, extracting them, and purifying the molecules within for downstream product formulations. The burning question this panel provides answers for is how can we continue to grow sustainably?

But there are important and significant differences between live resin and live rosin that our panel will discuss.

The Future of Concentrates and Extracts

Cannabis consumption has yet to hit the mainstream.  Increased consumer acceptance of flower inhalation is highly unlikely as a major contributor to increased sales.  What will it take to get widespread engagement of consumers into extracts and concentrates.
