Abstrax Helps BHO Extraction Remain Legal in Canada

TUSTIN, Calif. (PRWEB) June 20, 2023

ABSTRAX, an industry leader in the study and production of cannabis and botanically-derived terpenes, has officially released a white paper detailing the companys role in 2017 in preventing the prohibition of hydrocarbon extraction (including BHO extraction) in Canada.

To accomplish this, Kevin Koby, Chief Science Officer (CSO) and Co-Founder of ABSTRAX, and his team, alongside industry partners ETS and Hollistek, presented a compelling case that emphasizes the necessity for regulatory oversight while addressing concerns regarding illicit production and the safety of producers and consumers.

The BHO (Butane Hash Oil) extraction method has been often targeted by legislators as being dangerous due to risks associated with handling flammable and volatile substances such as butane gas. Without proper oversight and training, extractors can be exposed to dangerous contaminants within poorly ventilated rooms and be injured due to uncontrolled pressure during the process.

While there are inherent dangers involved, BHO will never go away, said Koby. In fact, if made illegal extractors will continue to use the method and skirt safety practices. Knowing this, we dove into meticulous research and evidence-based arguments to help the legislature understand the reality of the situation, while driving home the plethora of health and wellness benefits that come with the process.

Hydrocarbon extraction allows producers to capture and preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis, resulting in extracts that offer enhanced potency and flavor profiles. Health benefits of concentrated cannabis extracts are used for pain management, anxiety and stress relief, appetite stimulation and are even thought to have important neuroprotective properties.

To chronicle this important milestone in ABSTRAXs history and the research that led Canadian legislators to choose regulation over banning BHO extraction, ABSTRAX has released a whitepaper that can be accessed at the following link: https://abstraxtech.com/pages/terpene-research.

By taking the lead in educating the Canadian government and advocating for the continued legality and regulation of hydrocarbon extraction, were showcasing our dedication to fostering a safe, transparent, and thriving cannabis market.
