CO2 oil

CO2 oil is a cannabis extract created using CO2 in its supercritical state as the solvent. The CO2 strips and dissolves trichomes to produce varying consistencies that can be high in THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids and terpenes. The key factor is the CO2 extraction process; the actual product has diverse applications.

“I picked up a high CBD CO2 oil syringe for my vape pen.”

Any concentrate created with CO2 extraction can fall under the category CO2 oil. The supercritical carbon dioxide acts gently as a solvent, preserving delicate terpenes and cannabinoids. CO2 oil can take the form of shatter, budder, wax, distillate, and more. It may be high in THC, CBD, specific cannabinoids, or certain terpenes. The unifying trait is simply the CO2 process.

CO2 oil can be vaporized, used in edibles, added to flower bowls, or incorporated into topicals. The format depends on the consistency. Vape pens suit distillates or thinner oils. Dabbing works for solid forms like shatter. CO2 oil provides versatility in many applications.
