Cannabis extracts are a large category of items that contain higher quantities of cannabinoids than the cannabis plant itself. Cannabinoids are chemical molecules contained in cannabis that, when taken, affect the mind and body as it can cause dizziness, confusion, and drowsiness. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the most well-known cannabinoid, and it is this compound that causes euphoria and intoxication (or high). CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has shown to have some medicinal properties, though additional research is needed by researchers to prove this. THC and CBD concentrations in cannabis extracts can vary greatly. Some extracts contain up to 99 percent THC, while others contain primarily CBD and only a small amount of THC.
Cannabis extracts can be solid (hash or hashish) or liquid (cannabis oil) (oil intended for vaping) form. Shatter, wax, honeycomb, and budder are examples of extracts named after their look or consistency. Cannabis extracts are usually smoked or vaporized, however, some can also be mixed with dried cannabis flowers. Tinctures are liquid extracts that are sprayed or dropped under the tongue. Dabbing is a relatively new method of vaping that necessitates the use of a specific water pipe ("dab rig"), a heating element ("nail"), a torch, and a dab tool.
Market Dynamics
The increasing adoption of CBD for skincare products is driving the global cannabis extract market growth in the forecast period. Cannabidiol skincare has antioxidant characteristics that assist to reduce the effects of aging and has an anti-inflammatory action on sebocytes, the sebum-producing skin cells. CBD may help to reduce swelling, pain, and redness from existing breakouts, as well as irritation from skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis, due to its anti-inflammatory effects. For instance, Folium Biosciences announced plans to launch nine active cosmeceutical and lifestyle products enriched with CBD in the U.S. in April 2019 to address market demand for skincare products.
