Post processing method for
A method for post processing oil extracted from cannabis comprises the steps of placing the oil into a container at a first predetermined temperature for a first predetermined time during which the oil will separate into two parts comprising a high terpene (HT) liquid fraction and a high cannabinoid (HC) crystal fraction, heating the HT and HC fractions under a first predetermined level of vacuum at a second predetermined temperature for a second predetermined time, and heating the HC fraction to a third predetermined temperature for a third predetermined time.
