🌿 What Is THC Oil?

THC oil is a concentrated cannabis extract rich in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. It’s commonly used for both recreational and wellness purposes thanks to its potency, versatility, and quick onset effects.

You’ll find THC oil in many forms:

🔋 Vape cartridges
💧 Tinctures and sublingual drops
🍬 Infused edibles and gummies
💨 Dabs and concentrates

THC oil can be derived from:

Delta-9 THC (most common in recreational/medical cannabis)
THCA (converts to THC when heated)
Hemp-derived THC (compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill if <0.3% Delta-9 by dry weight)

🔥 How Is THC Oil Made?

Most THC oils are made using:

✅ CO2 Extraction – Clean and efficient; uses carbon dioxide to separate cannabinoids

✅ Ethanol Extraction – Uses alcohol to strip plant compounds; effective for full-spectrum products

✅ Hydrocarbon Extraction (butane/propane) – Great for producing dabs and live resin but requires expert safety control

After extraction, the oil is filtered, distilled, and often infused with terpenes for flavor and effect.

🧪 Is THC Oil Legal?

Legal status depends on two things:

State Laws – States like California, Colorado, and Michigan allow recreational use. Others restrict all forms of THC.
