What is cannabinoid extraction, in simple terms?

Cannabinoid extraction is the process of separating the plant’s active compounds — cannabinoids, terpenes, lipids, waxes, and other secondary metabolites — from raw hemp material. The method used determines whether these compounds remain intact or are altered during processing.

What is Supercritical CO₂ extraction?

Supercritical CO₂ extraction uses carbon dioxide at high pressure and temperature, where it behaves as both a liquid and a gas. This allows for precise targeting of specific cannabinoids and produces a clean extract with minimal solvent residue. However, the elevated temperatures required can reduce volatile terpenes and alter delicate acid-form cannabinoids.

What is Subcritical CO₂ extraction, and why do you prefer it?

Subcritical CO₂ extraction operates at lower temperatures and pressures than supercritical CO₂. This gentler approach preserves more of the plant’s native terpene profile and acidic cannabinoids while still maintaining precision and purity. For many formulations, this method offers a better balance between selectivity and molecular preservation.

What is cryo-ethanol extraction?

Cryogenic ethanol extraction uses food-grade organic alcohol at sub-zero temperatures. This process rapidly captures a broad spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, lipids, waxes, and pigments while minimizing thermal degradation. When performed correctly, cryo-ethanol preserves the “whole-plant” resin without stripping away structurally important compounds.

Why does True Hemp Science use multiple extraction methods?

Different molecules require different conditions to remain stable. No single extraction method is ideal for all cannabinoids or formulations. We select the extraction method based on the target compounds and the intended physiological outcome, rather than forcing every product through a single industrial process.

What is distillation and why do many brands rely on it?

Distillation is a refinement process that uses controlled heat, vacuum, and time to separate cannabinoids by boiling point. It produces highly concentrated and standardized extracts, which can be valuable for applications requiring precise cannabinoid isolation, long shelf stability, or and when necessary zero detectable THC.

How does distillation affect cannabinoids and terpenes?

Because distillation relies on heat and extended processing, it can reduce or remove volatile compounds such as terpenes and convert acidic cannabinoids into their neutral forms. While this results in uniformity and consistency, it also simplifies the original chemical complexity of the plant.

Do cannabinoid isolates have a legitimate use?

Yes. Isolates play an important role for individuals who must avoid THC entirely or who require a single, well-defined compound. In these cases, isolates can be an effective and appropriate solution.

How does this differ from True Hemp Science products like Foci, Sezi, Reposa, and Pet Soundz?

Foci, Sezi, Reposa, and Pet Soundz are formulated using distillate, which is refined for consistency and a smoother sensory profile. Distillation typically yields a lower terpene profile than whole-resin extracts and includes cannabinoids in their decarboxylated (“active”) forms. These products are designed for customers who prefer a cleaner taste and a more standardized cannabinoid experience

What is the “cold-processed advantage”?

Cold processing reduces exposure to heat, light, and oxygen—factors that can alter molecular structure. By keeping temperatures low throughout extraction and refinement, more cannabinoids, terpenes, and acid-form compounds remain closer to their natural state.

Why does molecular shape matter?

Cannabinoids and terpenes interact with the body based on their three-dimensional structure. Changes caused by heat or oxidation can alter how these molecules bind to receptors or are metabolized. Preserving molecular integrity helps maintain predictable physiological interactions.

Does this mean distillation is bad?

Not inherently. Distillation has valid applications, particularly when a highly specific compound is desired. However, it is not ideal for whole-plant formulations where complexity, synergy, and biological context are critical.

Why does True Hemp Science prioritize whole-plant fidelity over yield?

Nature is efficient, but not simplistic. The hemp plant produces cannabinoids, terpenes, lipids, and waxes in precise ratios for a reason. Our extraction philosophy is based on preserving that intelligence rather than flattening it into a single molecule or number.

What is the “cold-processed advantage”?

Cold processing reduces exposure to heat, light, and oxygen—factors that can alter molecular structure. By keeping temperatures low throughout extraction and refinement, more cannabinoids, terpenes, and acid-form compounds remain closer to their natural state.

Is one extraction method inherently better than another?

No single extraction method is universally superior. Each method has strengths depending on the intended outcome. Our approach is to select the process that best preserves the desired compounds while respecting the plant’s original chemistry.

How does this philosophy align with your view of nature and science?

The hemp plant is chemically complex and highly adaptive. Our role is not to override natures complexity, but to work with it—choosing methods that translate the plant’s intelligence into usable form without unnecessary simplification.

What do you mean by “whole-plant” extracts?

Whole-plant extracts retain a broad range of cannabinoids, terpenes, lipids, waxes, and secondary metabolites in ratios similar to those found in the original hemp plant. Rather than isolating or reconstructing individual components, whole-plant extraction prioritizes preservation of the plant’s native chemical context.

What does “refinement” mean in cannabinoid products?

Refinement refers to post-extraction processes—such as winterization, filtration, or distillation—used to improve clarity, stability, flavor, or consistency. Refinement exists on a spectrum and can range from minimal to extensive, depending on the desired outcome.

What is meant by “reconstruction” in the cannabinoid market?

Reconstruction occurs when cannabinoids, terpenes, or other compounds are separated, altered, or removed during processing and later reintroduced to create a specific profile. This approach allows for standardization but may differ from the plant’s original biochemical balance.

What is “adulterated CBD”?

In technical terms, adulteration refers to products where the natural composition of the extract has been materially altered beyond refinement. This can include dilution with excessive carrier oils, addition of non-native terpenes, or recombination of isolated compounds to achieve a target potency or flavor.

Why does True Hemp Science avoid reconstructing oils?

Our focus is on translating the plant’s existing chemistry rather than redesigning it. While reconstruction can create consistency, we prioritize formulations that preserve the relationships between cannabinoids, terpenes, and lipids as they occur naturally.

Why refuse to rely exclusively on CBD isolates?

CBD isolates have clear applications, particularly for individuals requiring zero THC. However, isolates represent a single molecule removed from its biological context. Whole-plant extracts retain the surrounding compounds that may influence how cannabinoids are absorbed and experienced.

What is the “bell-shaped dose-response,” and why does it matter?

Some isolated cannabinoids exhibit a bell-shaped dose-response, meaning effectiveness may plateau or decrease beyond a certain dose. In contrast, multi-compound extracts often show a broader response range due to synergistic interactions between cannabinoids and other plant compounds.

Why do whole-plant oils vary in color from gold to dark resin?

Color reflects chemical composition. Lighter oils are typically more refined, with chlorophyll and plant waxes removed. Darker resins retain more lipids, pigments, and minerals from the original plant material. Neither is inherently superior; they represent different degrees of refinement.

What are “lipid-rich” extracts?

Lipid-rich extracts retain natural plant fats and waxes. Because cannabinoids are fat-soluble, these lipids can act as intrinsic carriers, potentially supporting absorption and stability without synthetic additives.

How does farming method influence cannabinoid complexity?

Plants respond to environmental conditions. Farming methods that emphasize soil health, biodiversity, and natural stressors can influence the production of secondary metabolites such as terpenes and minor cannabinoids, resulting in a more chemically diverse extract.

Why does True Hemp Science focus on preservation rather than maximization?

Maximizing a single metric—such as potency—often requires simplification. Preservation prioritizes chemical relationships rather than numbers, aligning extraction and formulation with the plant’s inherent complexity.

How should consumers interpret these differences?

Different extraction and refinement approaches serve different needs. Understanding how a product is made helps consumers choose formulations aligned with their preferences, sensitivities, and intended use.

What are minor cannabinoids?

Minor cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds produced by the hemp plant in smaller quantities than CBD or THC. These include cannabinoids such as CBG, CBC, CBN, CBDv, THCV, and others that often exist at trace or low concentrations within whole-plant extracts.

Why do minor cannabinoids matter if they are present only in small amounts?

Biological systems do not respond solely to dominant compounds. Minor cannabinoids can influence receptor activity, metabolic pathways, and enzymatic interactions, even at low concentrations. Their presence contributes to the overall signaling profile of a whole-plant extract.

What are acidic cannabinoids?

Acidic cannabinoids—such as CBDa, THCa, CBGa, and CBCa—are the native forms produced by the hemp plant. These compounds exist prior to heat-induced decarboxylation and often exhibit different biological behavior than their neutral counterparts.

Are acidic cannabinoids psychoactive?

No. Acidic cannabinoids are non-intoxicating. For example, THCa does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC unless it is decarboxylated through heat.

Why does True Hemp Science emphasize acidic cannabinoid blends?

Acidic cannabinoids represent the plant’s original biochemical state. By preserving these compounds, our formulations retain signaling pathways that may be altered or lost during high-heat processing. This approach reflects our commitment to maintaining the plant’s natural intelligence.

What is CBG, and why is it considered foundational?

Cannabigerol (CBG) originates from CBGa, the precursor molecule from which most other cannabinoids are synthesized. Because of this role, CBG is often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid” and plays a foundational role in whole-plant chemistry.

What is CBDv, and how does it differ from CBD?

CBDv (cannabidivarin) is a naturally occurring “varin” cannabinoid with a shorter carbon chain than CBD. This structural difference alters how it interacts with receptors and enzymes, contributing to distinct physiological effects.

What is CBC, and how does it function in a formulation?

Cannabichromene (CBC) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid believed to support synergistic interactions within multi-cannabinoid formulations, particularly in relation to inflammatory and neural signaling pathways.

What is CBN, and how does it form?

Cannabinol (CBN) is produced through the natural oxidation of THC over time. It is often described as an “aged” cannabinoid and is associated with more physically grounding effects compared to freshly extracted profiles.

What role do trace cannabinoids play in your acidic blends?

Our acidic blends contain trace amounts of numerous minor cannabinoids—both identified and not yet fully characterized. While present in small quantities, these compounds contribute to the overall chemical context of the extract and may influence how the primary cannabinoids are absorbed and experienced.

Why aren’t all cannabinoids fully identified or quantified?

The hemp plant produces hundreds of compounds, many of which exist at concentrations below routine detection thresholds. Analytical science continues to evolve, and new cannabinoids and metabolites are still being discovered.

How does this complexity affect formulation philosophy?

Rather than isolating and controlling every variable, we design formulations that preserve complexity. This approach acknowledges that biological systems evolved alongside complex plant chemistries, not simplified single-molecule inputs.

Does the presence of trace Delta-8 THC occur naturally?

Yes. Delta-8 THC occurs naturally in hemp at trace levels as part of the plant’s normal biosynthetic pathways. These quantities are not sufficient for direct commercial extraction and are distinct from chemically converted Delta-8 products.

Why does True Hemp Science avoid reducing formulations to a single “active” compound?

Focusing on one molecule assumes complete understanding of a system that is still being mapped. Whole-plant formulations respect the possibility that interactions between known and unknown compounds contribute meaningfully to physiological outcomes.

How should consumers interpret minor and trace cannabinoids?

Minor and trace cannabinoids should be viewed as part of a larger informational network rather than isolated actives. Their presence reflects how closely a product mirrors the original plant chemistry.
