Cannabis is procesed by hanging the plant upside down to dry, where it is then cut into smaller and more manageable sections. Ideally, the plant is dried between 65-75 degrees F with humidity levels around 45-55%. Once the plant is dried, cannabinoid extraction involves using ethanol as a solvent, and different processes are used depending on whether THC or CBD is extracted.
In-house testing is not required federally; however, states differ in their requirements. Cannabis extraction laboratories need to test extracts for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solven...
