Extract
Concentrated form of cannabis active ingredients like THC, CBD, or terpenes, obtained from flowers or plant residues.

Cannabis extracts are concentrated extractions from the plant — for example, as oil, resin, or tincture. They contain cannabinoids and terpenes in significantly higher density than flowers and thus require careful dosing.
