Trulieve is selling its first hydrocarbon product in Florida, an extract created through a newly approved process.
The medical cannabis company launched its Live Resin product line on Monday, with its first sale at a Tallahassee dispensary.
“We’ve spent the last year focused on developing products that highlight more than THC and CBD, creating terpene-heavy, full-spectrum, and single-source oil products including our TruWax concentrate and signature TruSpectrum cartridges,” said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers.
The release of a hydrocarbon extract makes Trulieve the first medicinal marijuana company in Florida to bring such a product to market. Live Resin products come through an extract lab, derived from the company’s TruFlower product after being frozen immediately after harvest. The extract used a proprietary propane-butane blend. Company officials say the hydrocarbon process results in an extract with high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes, making for a higher-flavor product with a “powerful and richly aromatic experience with a broader sensation of effects.”
“Cannabis is an incredible medicine not only because of the medical properties of cannabinoids like THC and CBD but because of every element of the plant,” Rivers said. “Having an opportunity to utilize an industry-leading technology like hydrocarbon extraction will allow us to expand our comprehensive product catalog and continue bringing innovative, natural, and, more importantly, effective relief to our diverse range of patients across Florida.”
According to MJBizDaily, hydrocarbon is one of several available extraction techniques which can result in different types of products.
“Hydrocarbon extraction typically refers to using butane or propane as a solvent that’s passed through the raw cannabis matter to collect cannabinoids and terpenes,” the trade publication explains. “The solvent with the essential oils is then heated up to evaporate off the butane or propane, leaving behind the extract.”
Trulieve said the process had been employed for the True Resin line because it allows retention of a higher level of flavor from the plant. That makes for a patient experience with an extract that is more similar to smoking the cannabis flower.
Trulieve made its first sale from its hydrocarbon Live Resin line to Nicole Walker, a patient at a Tallahassee dispensary.
“I am excited to be part of Trulieve’s special day,” Walker said. “As a longtime Trulieve patient and someone who benefits from concentrates, I’ve always known I can count on Trulieve for the highest-quality products, and now with hydrocarbon-produced concentrates, I look forward to an even better experience going forward.”
Live Resin in the popular Member Berry and Orchard Nectar strains, are available in 0.5g sizes throughout Florida. All extracts in the product line will be strain-specific, ranging across Indica, Sativa and Hybrid products.

One ponders where is this CEO’s mask? TL employees are complaining on Reddit that they are going crazy with this mask enforcement thing even though they all supposedly are vaccinated. Shame on you lady. You are setting a terrible example for this company. Do as I say not as I do?

I agree with you Dick. Don’t let the liberal ass kissers get away with being hypocrites. Trulieve isn’t all that!! Grow healthy and curaleaf are way better as far as products and customer service and as far as I know they aren’t involved with shady investment deals like Trulieve is.

I never said truly was all of that dick. In fact they pissed me off more than any dispensary has so far. They mess up my orders all the time. So I don’t know what the hell you’re talkin to me about trulieve isn’t all that. I bypass five or six of them to drive to growhealthy in Stuart. I don’t vouch for grow healthy for one second between all the issues, wrong math, lies, and I can go on so I don’t know what the hell you think I’m watching for trulieve for. And I think you’re getting a little too political about people controlling me because nobody controls this guy. I’m not into politics and this whole medical marijuana thing was set up so they could yank the rug out from underneath us. Any bets? I’m just so confused why you think I like trulieve because they’re my least favorite as far as customer service and lying with their prices and percentages. Are we clear dick?

If THAT is Dick’s major concern about this incredible company, then there really isn’t a problem. I am sure TL’s employees complain about wearing a mask during work, but I really appreciate that they do.
Are McDonald’s employees also complaining? Then we’re gonna hear from Dick again. Home Depot? Yep, Dick is watching. Thank you Dick.
(Stop being so little).

How would you like to suck a dick? I have no recollection of what the fuck you guys are talking about. So why don’t you form your opinions and shove them directly up your ass. Okay? Good deal so why don’t you follow everybody just like sheep. You’re such a tough guy, keep running that dick sucker. I’ll meet you anywhere since you seem to thank you know freaking thing about me. You can call me dick but I’m going to call you pussy. I’d rather be a dick than a pussy any day. You guys are obviously just following what the next on the educated jerk-off says before you so why don’t you form your own opinion before you start popping off today because I will hand your ass to you. You one of those people that run their mouth inside their car and then when it’s time to get out of your car you got nothing to say. So whenever you’re ready to eat some meet, give me a shout and you can Slob On My Knob all you want. Hide behind the internet. You wouldn’t do a damn thing in real life and if you called me that in front of me you would be drinking through a straw for a couple months. Believe that boy

The real problem is the over pricing corporate bs. Company wouldnt be where it is if her husband didnt run scams. Now he’s in trouble. Trulieve is a smack in the face to the cannabis community.

Agreed. That husband is a drag on the entire operation. He looks dirty. A divorce is probably in the future. CEO Kim bought more shares of stock and said, “onward and upward”. I felt that she meant she has nothing to do with that scene. He was her BF when he allegedly committed those dirty dealings.
