The shift from the underground to the legal market has put the spotlight on cannabis product development and extraction techniques. There are hundreds of known chemical components in cannabis, and each one has its own unique set of chemical characteristics that dictate how it should be dried and extracted to preserve it. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring or artificially produced organic chemicals that bind to and activate certain receptors in the body. They have many of the same medicinal effects as those of the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa L.). Cannabinoids must be isolated from their respective matrices prior to analysis. In order to help readers choose the best extraction procedures for their specific cannabis products and uses, this article examines a range of options. This will be achieved by examining the role of solvents in extraction, then contrasting solventless extraction methods with traditional and alternative approaches, and finally evaluating the comparative efficacy of all aforementioned methods. Currently, cannabinoids are extracted from cannabis consumer products and plant materials through various methods, including classical maceration with organic solvents such as ethanol, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, soxhlet extraction, solvent heat reflux, pressurized solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. Many different methods, including solid-phase and liquid-liquid extractions, are used to extract cannabinoids from various biological materials, including human blood, food and drink, wastewater, and other similar substances.
