vaping low quality shake honestly tastes worse than smoking it imo

however breaking up those fancy, expensive oil-drizzled pre-rolls to vape is another story

if it's just untrimmed bud, it's basically fine to vape (and puts hair on your chest to smoke) but I agree that genuine bottom-of-the-bag shake sucks for everything other than extractions

there's probably also a curing factor that fits into everything. stale rear end/poorly cured bud sucks no matter what way you slice it. if anyone feels like their weed is combusting too fast or crumbles when they touch it I'd deffo reccomend trying humidity packs. very small fraction of the cost of weed for a big gain in quality

yeah those Boveda packs have rejuvenated some dry-rear end weed more than once for me before. also highly recommend

I miss buying 200mg capsules for like $10/pop in WA back when medical were a thing. Is there any way for me to recreate that joy? I buy ounces of flower now and make edibles but they taste like rear end so I have to force myself to eat enough to dissociate

the med market was the best for getting absolutely trash weed for stupid cheap and blasting it into bho, and then using the hash. if you have appropriate space its not too expensive to get a glass blasting tube and some bho cans and do an open blast extraction. you can further purify the bho with a vac chamber (recommended) or winterization or a bunch of other things i haven't tried but probably work too, but if you're cooking idk if any of it is really necessary.

You could fill capsules with RSO. Not sure if you could get 200mg of THC in one capsule, though.

why don’t you just make better edibles? simple!
but for real, if you’re struggling with making good tasting stuff using flower, it should be possible to make candy with concentrate

safer and simpler option (no solvents, no risk of an exploding canister of butane, etc.) is to just get a rosin press. expensive upfront and you need the space for it, but the benefit here is that you can press whatever you want, whether it's shake or sifted top shelf kief

possible drawbacks are that your end product is gonna taste like an amplified version of whatever you put in because this process preserves the terpene profile of the material (so, top shelf bud/kief will press into delicious rosin; gross shake will press into similar-tasting rosin) and the yield per press is probably a lot lower compared to doing a single big batch of BHO. but like check this out it's incredible:

incredible kief rosin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuPJbiLQrAg

kinda lovely shake/trim rosin (this dude should have frozen the material and sifted all the kief off and pressed that, but still, pretty big yield here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXacJEKlj6Y

dispensaries sell this as "live sauce" or "live resin" etc. and this is also the basis for the fancy "badder"/"budder" concentrates. for those they continuously stir huge batches of rosin for a long time at a low temp to aerate it and give it the batter-like texture

Sep 28, 2006

okay yeah i can see how this process (BHO blasting) is pretty straightforward and inexpensive, i had never looked into it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn6TJcpiq9c

still, the rosin press is nice because you don't have to blast an accelerant all over your weed to get the oil lol

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

i spent like 3 hours laying in bed reading the epstein thread after work yesterday because i was so bored but also too unmotivated to do anything else

dispensary has actual flower for the first time since they opened a year ago, but I never smoke flower, only carts and concentrates. the highest content flower they have is 23%, which seems pretty fuckin' low for the outrageous prices they're charging ($65/3.5 or $520/oz,). I'm assuming that for someone like me, who needs like 100mg+ in edibles to even notice them, 23% is just too low to be worth my time? google indicates that actually strong flower is like 28-30% and I generally don't like any concentrates below 70%, so would I just be wasting my money?

yeah I mean in VA right now, every single thing available for medical patients really exceeds the threshold of "terrible deal" and into "shameless price gouging that is built into an artificial state-sanctioned monopoly". every single medical marijuana product has it's price inflated by like 300% so I'm not surprised flower is just as outrageous. I'm used to overpaying by now so I'm mostly wondering if it's worth it for novelty, but given that the last eighth I bought I still have most of two years later I'm just gonna buy deathloop instead

:same: I always have two medical carts and a gram of concentrate on hand because that's what I primarily consume, and the last few times I smoked a bowl it barely did poo poo, so I can't imagine this is going to be that much of an improvement from the black market stuff i can get for half the price
