No. The butane doesnt pull anything from the plant. The trichomes contain the highest level of THC CBN CBD CBG. These are the things that either on their own, or together make you stoned/high. When the trichomes are growing on the plants, they are a mushroom shaped capsule of oil - the THC CBN CBD CBG is inside this oil. The drying and curing method crysalises this oil - and you get crystalls. Also, the curing process activates more THC and cannabinoids which add to the effects. The butane basically disolves the crystalls so they are oil again - you collect the oil and butane mixture - the butane evapourates and taaa daa - you've got the oil which contains very high levels of THC CBN CBD CBG.
