You may see lighter coloured concentrates floating about
And very low prices
How is this possible, surely to get such a light product one needs to get concentrates usually from fresh material.
And using fresh good material is costly
The answer is CRC - it is a method which uses powder filters to essentially pull out the colours from the concentrate
Is this bad? Well. A similar sort of technology is used in bleaching Olive oil. But the issue is not in progressional industry
The issue is when non chemists or rogue chemists using cheap options to extract are cutting corners to yeild profits
In this situation it becomes harmful,
For example not using the correct type of sintered disk filtered will result in the powder filter residuals ending up in the final product
Which is toxic to humans, all types of powder filter are used such as bentonite.
There are more issues with CRC butane. Usually back door extractors will cut as many corners to save time
For example not distilling the hydrocarbon initially which means toxic metal oxides are still left in the product
If these are not filtered out initially they cannot ever be cleaned from the closed loop system and a new system would be required especially the hydrocarbon chamber
We can’t stress enough the importance of smoking what’s good for you and not what looks the part.
Often these concentrates smell great but this is the use of added terpenes
They are quite harsh at times and usually have very little potency compared to some of our darker pecan concentrates which are not tampered with
