THC DISTILLATE – THE CLEAN CONCENTRATE
With dozens of different cannabis extracts available today, it may be hard to believe that there is yet another method on the market that is totally different from BHO and other extracts. THC distillate known as The Clear or The Pure, is 99% Pure THC. Although with potency in the high 90 percentile, cannabis distillate is not for the new and inexperienced. This cannabis extract is the result of an extraction process called “short path distillation” that separates and refines molecules and contaminants to create a clean, almost clear concentrate, producing a highly regarded, “top-shelf”, concentrate.
So, what exactly makes this THC distillate different than shatter or wax or any other concentrate?
Two things! First, THC distillate is more potent and pure. However, the major difference is in how they are made.
In order to distill the cannabinoids into their purest form, additional refinement must be executed. This process is known as Short Path Distillation and has proven to produce single compound oils that can reach upwards of 99% purity.
THE DISTILLATION PROCESS
The THC distillation process is a two-part process, where the first part removes terpenes, and the second part removes lipids, impurities, and solvents.
The THC, as well as other cannabinoids and terpenes, must first be separated from the cannabis plant via solvent-based extraction methods while retaining many fats, lipids, and other compounds. A variety of extraction methods have been developed for decades within the industry, the most common of which use the solvents butane, propane, CO2 and alcohol.
Unlike products like BHO and PHO that typically leave residues, impurities and microscopic amounts of unwanted materials in their end product, cannabis distillates are created using a short path distillation technique that differs from typical solvent extraction.
Short Path distillation uses pressure, steam and heat to control the boiling points, creating a much cooler temperature for the compounds to pass through. During this process, the volatile THC compounds are separated by their molecular weight and individual boiling point, leaving behind less volatile and undesirable compounds.
This process is repeated over and over again to create pure cannabinoids without plant matter or residual solvents.
As this process produces a product that has no measurable amount of terpene content, extractors often reintroduce them back into the oil as we do with ours – Check out our selection of flavours here!
BENEFITS OF DISTILLATE
Purity
In today’s health-conscious society, many are seeking healthier options for optimal living, this holds true with Cannabis consumption as well. The Short Path Distillation process creates a very pure extraction, by leaving out potentially harmful solvents. The result is a concentrate that contains very high levels of THC but with none of the impurities. #signmeup
THC Content
The finished product from a distillate process results in 90-99% THC- That’s A LOT! Compared to the 15-25% range found in flowers, or the 60-80% found in BHO and Co2 made concentrates. This level of THC content won’t only appeal to recreational users who enjoy getting breaks from reality from time to time, but it also benefits those who rely on THC’s potency for medical reasons.
Discretion
Not only is THC distillate pure with an obscene amount of THC content, but it also is a concentrate that is inherently odorless.. hello smoking in public! The lack of odor lends THC distillate as the ideal choice for medicating in public spaces, like work, social gathering or events, where it is generally frowned upon or not accepted.
Not only that! it can also be used in almost any method that’s suited to your preference, making it an extremely versatile medicine.
Fast-acting
Effects from this concentrate can be felt almost immediately as the THC has already been activated in the distillation process.
HOW TO USE THC DISTILLATE
THC distillate is typically packaged in very small syringes, as this is the easiest tool to both transport and manipulate the extract with.
There are many ways in which THC distillate is being used, however the most common is still dabbing.
Dabbing
Arguably the most popular method to consume THC distillates. By vaporizing the THC on a hot surface, one can consume without needlessly wasting end product.
Oral/Sublingual
A tiny drop under the tongue, should provide as much as 8-10 hours of relief for medical patients. It will take around an hour for it to hit when taken orally or sublingually, but it’s perfect for all-night (or all-day) relief.
like to kick it old school?
Joints
Although THC distillates may be a very modern cannabis product, you can still smoke it in OG ways. If you’re a die-hard joint smoker, all you need to do is spread some THC distillate on your rolling paper, and roll it as usual with your pot!, find your favourite flower here! Pro-Tip: If you are adding distillate in a joint – use less flower.
Vaporizing
Fill your vape tank with THC distillate, but make sure to use a ceramic coil and not a cotton coil otherwise the impurities may ruin the taste. Try our pre-filled THC distillate vape pods with added terpenes!
Is THC distillate edible?
Edibles:
Yes! THC distillate is edible, as it is made out of 99.9% organic contents. Add some THC distillate into your butter or cooking oil, then infuse it into your favourite dish.
Given the sheer purity, potency and versatility of cannabis distillate, it’s no wonder that THC distillates are revolutionizing the medicinal marijuana industry. If you haven’t taken THC distillates into consideration, this might be the time.

Nicely done post i think i might have to add some to my next order
Damn, this is the first I’m hearing of 99% purity….exciting! This is so going in my next batch of cookies.
I have been smoking for more than 20 years now.. and this new stuff people are doing with weed now makes me feel like a newb???
I will have to try this some time.. I like the vape idea.. I used to have a vape pen.. but it was disposable so once it went dry that was it.
Distillate is a god send for making edibles with pretty accurate dosing. Butter made from trim/shake was really all over the place.
Very informative article..never have I tried some of those methods..must partake in a concentrated effort ..
Distillate is def a great option! Nice information
This distillate is easy on my lungs, I cough even less than with shatter. The only thing is, you have to sacrifice the taste. I am happy to know the process to get the stuff, thanks.
Its great to see Distillate as an option now
Deffenitly will be trying !
Biggest plus of distillates for me is the stealthyness, otherwise I’ll using go for a full spectrum extract. It’s great having options tho.
