Is there any point?

[Old_Hippy]

Hi...the realities of life in Australia mean I run out of supplies quite often, which is when I run the ABV thru again (and sometimes again and again :/ )
By now I'm left with a very dark very fine powder that is difficult to vape because its so fine it clogs the mesh on the whip.

Is there ANYTHING (psychoactively speaking ) left in this ABV ?

Is it worth cooking? or should I just throw it away...

I hope that someone here has had experience with ABV of this errr....quality

Check the cooking and edibles section of the forum or use search engine ... There is a lot of stuff left in the abv.. that you can benefit.. IMO abv is more activated than fresh weed which benefits oral consumtion.
U can also check the concentrates section there is info on Dark oil aka ABV BHO/Qwiso.

Of course there is a point! If you still have some sort of plant material as opposed to ashes, then you have something you can use.

Experiment with it - Cook it into oil/butter/etc
Make a tincture or even some QWISO

The possibilities are endless with your ABV, you just have to experiment as to what works best for YOU.

thc(V) which is processed by your liver is they say up to three times more active!

If you vape hard, their likely wont be much left that would do anything to you if your a heavy user.

I did not have success with abv until I got my magic flight launch box and went on a trip and had that abv, which is not as well vaped as my other vaporizers abv. I made swamp water from that and the swamp water thread tells the rest of that story.

Today, I deliberately save some life with in my abv so I can make a good quality swamp water. A 1/4-1/2 shot of swampwater and cola make the evenings easier but this is variable and can be more or less depending on each persons materials and usage. I would say give it a shot, then try it with saving more life in the abv and see how that works.

Tx ppl...all good advice...i'll look into the swamp water thing...thanks Beez.
I figured that as long as it isnt ash ( its not...quite...) there would be hope.

A Dr from Patient Without Time says the dark black ABV is smoked by bone cancer patients to get them back to sleep at 3am when the pain is bad, but to me the whole point of using a Vape is NOT to smoke, but I can understand why these patients do. YouTube clip

Tx for your positive feedback...and have a great New Year everyone!!!!!!

And get some soy lecithin from a health food shop - half a teaspoon of that with edibles really kicks it in.

Honestly, when my bud gets to that point, I just throw it in some peanut butter and put it on some toast with some jam or something, or I throw it in a super smoothie. Careful, a small amount will leave you blasted for a while! I put like 2 teaspoons ofABV in one of my shakes a couple weeks ago and was high for about 14 hours, I peaked at 4 hours haha. It was pretty crazy. I had an MRI the morning I did this, man was that a fun space ship ride or what!

I've only had 1 ever MRI but I got well and truly wasted before I went in....HUGE mistake
Until that moment I never knew I had a problem with claustrophobia....what a hell of a way to find out !!!
I usually avoid the intravenous Valium they offer (afraid of babbling about my not-so-legal hobbies ) but in future......
If you went thru a MRI while peaking on eaten ABV you have my congratulations....and my respect.

Did you mean tablespoons and accidently wrote teaspoons? I put 2 tablespoons in a shake and i was tore apart . im trying to find some kind of real dose info cause if i used 2 table spoons when you only needed teaspoons im wasting abv please let me know.

I've been wondering a similar question lately. I'm already building up quite a bit of ABV and its getting annoying. I'm running out of vessels to put it in! I haven't re-vaped any of mine, but vape it pretty good to begin with and seems fairly dark, not yet powdery however. Is it worth it saving all this? Does anyone combust the ABV? Does it do anything? I dont want to make an edible but can I turn it into some sort of concentrate I can vape?

Yes, you can.

I know what kind of ABV you are working with and i can tell you the buzz from edibles made with this will be very different from one made with fresh or even lightly vaped cannabis. In my past experiencing it has only yeilded a high that is overwhelmingly heavy, will make you pass out, almost nauseating, and made me and my friends sweaty all night. And I don't get much affect from normal edibles. So ingest with caution if you make these. But IMO its not worth it because the amount you will have to eat to get a good buzz will be enough to make you sick. There will be no uplifting sativa side to your buzz. I would say just throw it in the garden, the things that make you feel good are all spent if its dark brown/black powder. I'm not saying in times of need no one could appreciate this effect, but I'd rather be sober.

That's because what's left are the high temperature-boiling cannabinoids. By themselves without, as you say, the sativa-ish buzz, they can be a bit lacking. So what you do is eat your edibles and then vape as well. That way you really are getting a full spectrum effect.

my favourite thing to do with abv it to make bho with it, and then do an ethanol wash of the abv bho. the result is a very nice oil that gets you blasted because of its high CBD and CBN to THC ratio

 

[turk]

...count me in this boat...getting a large amount and running out of jars to put it in...some experimenting in definitely in order...

Same here, have about 1-2 oz now of ABV. After a few experiments - I suggest NOT to eat the ABV. The few times I've tried, mostly greenish ABV, I was left with rather unpleasant or nauseating experiences. However, each person has different reactions, so it's worth at least a try, I suppose.

I suggest leaching out as much as possible by making a concentrate. It will also taste+look nasty, but it should be more pleasant than eating it.

That's what I plan on doing with my stuff, my container is nearly full. However, I wish I could send it to Old_Hippy so he can use it...what a shame that it's not that easy to just help others.

Old Hippy if I were you - I'd find some areas and sprinkle some seeds for the future

I also do not really enjoy the effects of eaten MJ, it is often too much (dose is difficult to get right) and a very different stone than an inhaled one anyways.

you can actually make a damn fine concentrate from simple abv if your method is good enough. filtration and technique are key.

for hte OP, check out our concentrate forum on the main page. I have an abv experiment there you may want to check out. the method i told you about above is the best I have found so far.

I'm thinking you just haven't cooked it right and/or found the right dose. Because when you do, edibles are fantastic. But you've got to make enough for several doses at least, so you can work out how much is good.

 

[weedemon]

it's more of the difference of the high. I have been a giggly mess and had great time while having eaten baked goods, I prefer the hot chocolate method now though. I also like the duration of an inhaled high better too. it's not every day I have a 6-12 hour block of time free to be sure I don't have to do anything
