![]() ![]() Labs generally aren’t required to test for CRC media contamination.And just as sneakerheads avoid buying some fake “Abibas”, serious hash heads don’t want to get conned into buying some live resin that’s not actually live.Multiple color remediation column technologiesCRC tech isn’t one thing-it’s an entire class of post-extraction processing equipment and methods that expands by the day.There is no one size fits all for CRC and a wide range of substances can be used for filtration including:activated charcoal,bentonite clay,Magnesol,diatomaceous earth,and silica.Often a combination of various filtration media will be used, sometimes in multiple steps.Marcus Moates, the owner of Nature’s Lab Extracts, has been making extracts in the legal market since 2008. States with legal cannabis programs generally don’t require disclosure of CRC tech use. (via Alibaba)Use of CRC tech is both prevalent and controversial, it seems.

Safety data is limited, and testing for CRC contamination is missing-even in legalization states.What is CRC tech?CRC tech stands for color remediation column technology and it applies mainly to butane hash oil, a popular type of marijuana extract.Many legal and illicit hashmakers now use a ‘color remediation column’-often a steel cylinder (column) packed with a filtration media like sand-during extraction to filter impurities. Some claim it’s safe, and just another way to purify low-grade cannabis oil.Others say it amounts to fraud: it makes low-grade, dirty distillate look like top-shelf live resin. Thanks to ‘color remediation column (CRC) technology’ or ‘CRC tech’ or ‘CRC’ for short-the color of an oil extract is no longer a guarantee of its quality or source.This new post-extraction process allows hashmakers to dramatically lighten the color of marijuana oil, as well as remove nasty odors, and even pesticides.Like any new technology, CRC has sparked a controversy.
