Hi Biggas,
Long time no see, prices have gone mad on here and quality is worse than local going by what I've received from some vendors. Do you reckon the prices will drop a bit after the pandemic? Please don't think I'm complaining, it's the old if you don't like it go elsewhere which I have. I'd just like to start using this again as I like the community. Any new vendors over the last couple of months I should check out?
Anyway onto the main part, what do you guys do if anything with your AVB? I've got around 500 grams of the stuff minimum so would be a shame to waste it. I have done my research but most options are for edibles... well me and edibles are having a rough time at the minute after an experience like no other.
I use a plenty by Storz and Bickel, the one with the big metal cooling whip, hadn't cleaned in a year, had vaped probably close to a KG or just over in it. Obviously there was a lot of reclaim (about 4g) so I made a milkshake, holy shit never again (well with work the next day) I was stoned for 3-4 days but the last 3 weren't a nice stone. After consumption it felt more like an acid/mushrooms trip (I'd microdosed 20ug LSD that morning) I'd estimate something like 1500-2500mg THC consumed so my own fault, however yes, that's why edibles are out, my tolerance will be wild. I don't recommend this to anyone unless you have a week off and are extremely experienced.
So is there any way of removing the remaining cannabinoids that's not overly difficult? I have a reasonable knowledge of chemistry and access to some equipment but for the life of me cannot think of a way. Would pressing it work? Like a rosin press with a really shit yield? Alternatively any ideas a bigga can give?
If anyone has a stroke of genius and I end up with something decent from a method they suggest I will personally send half of the product to them or to someone as a gift if they wish.
My thinking is I vape pretty low temp sometimes, so according to my research my bud still contains 20-30% of it's active cannabinoids, if I could get even 15% out of the half kg, I'd end up with 75g of some sort of consumable product hopefully with a fairly high cannabinoid content.
My use is primarily for pain for me and my partner after kicking the opioid meds the doctor loves giving out (partner had a major trauma and broke back, hip, plus a few more and I have multiple disk issues) so any remaining active cannabinoids that can would be useful not just an only THC heavy product. However we do love to get blazed as well so a method with a lower yield but better quality end product would be best, if such a method exists.
It's not urgent, we can take days to do it, if patience yields good results I can wait months for it. Just looking for opinions from other capers. Feels like such a waste every time I see this huge ass bag of AVB and then go drop loads of cash on more weed. Need to start growing myself I think.
So a bit of an intro, bit of a life story and a question. Anyone any ideas? Id love to make rosin/oil like material that could be dabbed, vaped or even smoked (I know you can smoke the AVB as is, it tastes so bad and I cannot consume enough to physically get any decent effects).
Love you all Biggas, stay safe, stay home if possible and most importantly stay high.
Beni.
