Hydrocarbon extracts are the most common and popular form of Cannabis concentrates on today’s market. This method of extraction utilizes solvents such as butane and propane to remove the desirable components – cannabinoids and terpenes – from the plant material. These extracts are then purged to ensure the removal of any residual solvent and that nothing but pure Cannabis oil is left over. Hydrocarbon extracts are highly diverse and can exist in a wide variety of consistencies and textures, as well as made from both cured or fresh frozen material – the latter of which is classified as “live resin” when in its final form.
Garlicane Cured Resin by Portland Extracts
Crossing GMO and Slurricane, Garlicane is a fruit-forward cultivar that offers a loud terpene profile accompanied by a profound effect.

Garlic Dream Badder by Cascadia Premium
Garlic Dream is a cross of Black Garlic and Blue Dream. Essentially, this is a mash of a cross of arguably one of the currently most popular strains, and one of the classics.

Jildo HTFSE by Extractioneering
From the folks who coined the term HTFSE (high terpene, full-spectrum extract), they nail this sappy terp sauce. Forget the cool factor of the well-designed boxes that show off the translucent oil in a magnetic capped vial – the real treat is pouring this golden liquid on a low-temp nail for a flavor-forward experience.

Calming, this extract is the ideal thing to get into while you let the ice cream on the counter soften.
