Acidic cannabinoids are what is found in the “raw” version of hemp. These non-decarboxylated versions preserve the cannabinoids in their raw and natural form.
We bypass the process of decarboxylation, which converts these valuable cannabinoids to the non-acidic version. For instance, THCA converts to THC, CBDA converts to CBD, and so on. Most extraction and processing requires the use high heat, which destroys these acidic versions.

What is Acidic Cannabinoid Remediation?
Cannabinoids are naturally present in the hemp plant in their acidic form, such as CBDa and THCa. Hemp extract is usually heated in order to convert these acidic cannabinoids into their active forms, for example, CBD and THC, in a process known as decarboxylation. However, there is an increasing interest in maintaining acidic cannabinoids in hemp oil, as they have unique benefits of their own.
Normal processing of hemp oil can expose the cannabinoids to high heat and low pressure, resulting in loss of these acidic cannabinoids. However, with careful temperature and pressure regulation, we use reverse flash chromatography to separate THC and THCa out while maintaining the acidic cannabinoids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use my distillate?
If your distillate has gone through the ______ process, it cannot be used, as it has been decarboxylated due to the heat used in the process.
How long does the process take?
The entire process, from ideation to finished product can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days.
Can I just order acidic cannabinoids from you?
Yes.
What about lab testing?
We will have an accredited third-party lab do a cannabinoid potency test on all products. Additional tests can be coordinated as requested.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
1 kilogram of powder or 1 liter of distillate.
