That's a little misleading since water is not an organic solvent. Why not use an organic solvent like butane or propane?

No, not at all. I actually make live resin professionally along with being a buyer in a dispensary. I sample everything. I've never seen such a product. I'm not sure how that would work. If you're evaporating the ethanol, how ever you evaporate it, all alcohol based terpenes would go with it...

I'm very aware of the effects of terpenes. I've been conducting an on going long term project of identifying unique terpene effects. I started the project in Jan 2014 and since then have ordered terpene tests on over 900 samples. I do understand the difference between effects provided by...

No. You would not be fine. It would go from liquid to gas inside your digestive system. It would also likely freeze your digestive system resulting in a painful death. You can't drink liquid butane for the same reason you can't drink liquid nitrogen. However like nitrogen breathing it is...

If the only thing you're going for is efficiency at ingesting thc then you are correct. However a lot of people (myself included) find 11-H thc extremely unpleasant. Even with sugar based candies or subs you still end up with that 11-h high after a while. Smoking/vaping is the only way for me.

That's not what the word organic means by any definition. Alcohol in nearly every situation is less pure than butane. Much easier to get a pure or near pure butane than get 99%+ alcohol. Also, butane is non-toxic, alcohol can be toxic. I'm not sure where the stigma attached to butane comes...

I believe the confusion in this thread comes from different uses of the word "organic". You are using the Whole Foods definition of the word while other people are using the chemistry definition. However even under the whole foods definition of the word,butane was once a living thing which makes...

You might be right. We just don't know for sure because people generally don't do those tests on bubble.

A ballot initiative always trumps a law passed by state congress, so prop 215 will trump these bills just passed. The language in these assembly/senate bills about doctors will likely end up with a court challenge if the state acts on them because of prop 215 conflicts. Hard to say how a ruling...

They've all passed, they need to be signed, which will happen likely next week. Well we aren't going to keep our current status. The only realistic hope we have of that would be if DPA can get their language on the ballot.

Ignore my post. I was actually completely wrong. Sorry about that. Absolutes do NOT make extracts meaningfully stronger. You would think they do, but they just don't. That came from my complete misunderstanding of what was being separated. The process of making an "absolute" or a process...

There is no state tax aside from normal sales tax. But yes, local municipalities can impose their own taxes. The cost of licenses will be insignificant however all product will go through distributors from the alcohol industry who will impose a fee of 5% of the wholesale cost. The lab testing...

100sq ft of personal cultivation per patient. Can no longer stack recs at a house unless the people with the recs live there. The only stacking you can do for people who do not live on the property are if you are a primary caregiver and have state issued caregiver cards, which you can stack up...

I know the purple cut of god's gift is amazing however hard to get. It was going around a few years ago but now it's pretty difficult to come across. I've never heard of Hail Mary. The purple gods gift is very unique. It's a low testing strain in terms of thc but it's unusual terpene profile...

70-80% of all cold water hash fails micro screenings, including high end full melts. I've never seen a test where PGR's or Eagle 20 extract into a concentrate however merit and forbid definitely do. I suppose if Eagle 20 were sprayed during flowering it would extract too. I'm not sure how that...

That GG 5.0 tho! Coming soon.....

You're the guy who gets up at the BoS meetings and talks about suing Ian and Ben Rice right?

Monterrey county about to put out a new ordinance on growing. Will be up for vote tomorrow but will likely be postponed for 45 days. Just got a hold of it, reading it now.

Yeah, hope you're next dude. I have a certain intolerance for people who support the police raiding people for growing herb. Call it a personality quirk but it just rubs me the wrong way.

These raids are applying to everyone. No matter who you are or what you do to attempt to comply to the law. Dispensary, grower, seed breeder, edibles makers, etc have all been raided. As for "no one being locked up", the county is still deciding whether or not to charge several victims of...
