your abv is better at turning into shatter? Are you squishing or using solvents?
I DIY as I live in an oppressed state and it is the only way to get anything decent or know what is in it. With the advent of Rosin, it is now much easier to DIY something nice as long as you have good starting material.
Presumably you purchased what you are forced to smuggle though?Neither...I smuggle. LOL Ok, so I had to buy it first but still....I am patiently waiting....for that day...in Maryland...when I can go to a MMJ dispensary and buy.
Cheers
Use 99.9% ISO. But for some reason on my last batch of kief I couldn't get the chemical taste out of it. May try purging the stuff again.
I don't grow and if you can find full melt like what I dab regularly more cheaply than I can make it myself, I'd be very surprised! It depends what you are making though, there'll definitely be some products that are more expensive to DIY.Economically speaking, is it not cheaper to buy than DYI (exception being those who also grow).
if it's legal for you to grow that's the best possible way. Several of my friends here in New Mexico regularly spend over 1k a month at the dispensaries. The prices they charge are insane
Wow!
I'm a caregiver with patients on disability, all of them only make a fraction of that per month.
Legal dispensaries, with all their choices, wouldn't mean much to them. A real shame
You are entirely correct. Most of the dispensaries offer donation jars that are used to help those who can't afford the meds, and it is an issue. Also an issue (imho) is the $300 it takes to get the medical marijuana card initially. The folk who need it the most are the least able to afford it. The renewal has dropped to $75 which is great but still... They can say the dispensaries are non profit all they want. I don't believe it.

Definitely man, cannabis medicine is far too expensive for a lot of the most needy patients atmWow!

Definitely drop me a line man, we can get your rosin tek as dialled in as possible. What temp/pressure you using for rosin atm brother? If your rosin doesn't taste as good as your BHO (of course live resin is a different story some live resins might taste better than a good rosin if made well), this usually means that something is not being done ideally on the rosin side.I would love to have more DIY knowledge, skills, tools and equipment. The only DIY I currently do is Rosin. I have access to some of the finest medical marijuana that Colorado and California produce. The nugs are always cured and trimmed very well and have very strong effects. Their all dispensery grade top shelf basically and I usually have a choice between 5 or more strains. Typically I load up on a Sative dominant strains and then get a little of an Indica dominant strain as I need daytime medicine more than night time medicine.
Since July/August I have been consistently relying on concentrates only to medicate. All my flower I have gets pressed eventually. I have been fortunate that most of my medication has been BHOSTCO Extracts which his BHO Nug Run Shatter and Live Resin. This stuff has been great, however when I run out and don't have access I tend to press whatever flowers I have. My favorite to press lately has been Sour Tangie but if I could make my own BHO I totally would as I prefer the effect and flavor I get from the Bhostco Extracts than the Rosin I press. I even thought about reaching out to you @herbivore21 for some knowledge and help! I hate running out of concentrates as my life is very busy lately(out the house at 6am and not back until 8pm + 3 kids) so trying to find time to press a couple grams of bud just for a day or two of medicine can be near impossible some days. A weekly or bi-weekly BHO run would probably keep me happy and medicated if I would just learn how and by the necessary tools and equipment.
BHO in the home is really not recommended if you have no experience with solvent processing, you would need a closed-loop system and a space away from the family to process. Open blasting BHO is fucked up and I do not recommend it at all to anybody. Please do not store butane cans in the house with kids, a single exploding can could lead to horrific results. Of course you may be aware of all of this but we gotta make sure we look out for one another here![]()
I will drop you a line soon my friend. As far as BHO, I understand the safety concerns and risks and if I ever went that route I was hoping for a closed-loop system as you mention and running it out of my shed which is detached from the house.Man that is such a high cost per month! What are these guys consuming and how much are their meds costing? Sounds like some insane prices going on there!
Definitely man, cannabis medicine is far too expensive for a lot of the most needy patients atmSame with a lot of other medicine. The state of healthcare is fucked up

I think it is best to work at your rosin technique first all the same![]()
