LOL I dont force anyone .....I just said that I make some honey oil / budder for myself since maybe 10 year now and this is defenetly bad for healt ...the vaporizer is the best way to rip off the thc of the budz so I just dont understand why some people wanna vap some chimical extract ....If you want to be more stone just vap more herb or some fullmelt shit ...and if with that your not enough stone just throw some crack in a pipe ....?! :/
I appreciate the advice...
I'm definitely no scientist, but the chemical extraction process is used to remove all the other crap and just leave the THC behind.
I'm unaware of the process you used to make budder, but the man behind it all is the Budder King who you can read about here:
http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/3589.html
Here's one quote which speaks about the presence of additional chemicals:
"The top Budder sample was 99.6% pure," Hornby explained, "which means if you had an ounce of it, only a tiny fraction of a gram would be anything other than cannabinoids. We also tested Budder for toxins, solvents, molds, diseases, heavy metals and other contaminants. There were none. It's essentially just pure cannabinoids. I've tested a lot of cannabis materials, but this is the most impressive."
Although I believe there are chemicals used is the budder making process (butane, isopropyl alcohol), they are used to EXTRACT the budder, meaning any chemical residue would reside in the waste material left over after all of the budder has been removed (not in the budder itself).
Another quote from the article...
"A hit of Budder contains only pure cannabinoid vapor instead of the harmful byproducts of combustible materials found in a hit of regular marijuana or hashish. Indeed, when pot smokers inhale burned marijuana, part of the "high" they feel is actually not a high at all ? it's a set of unpleasant toxic effects produced by inhaling burned plant material along with cannabinoids.
"I didn't create Budder so I could make money; I created it so people could inhale pure cannabinoids," BudderKing explains. "I see Budder as a spiritual THC high and a harm reduction method. One Budder hit gives you two joints worth of cannabinoids all at once, and it's kind to your lungs."
Once again... the smoke/vapor off a budder hit is 90-99% pure THC cannabinoids.
Although chemicals are used to extract it... very little to none of it are left behind, especially when compared to marijuana buds.
So... on the hierarchy or "safeness" it would be close to vaporizing in terms of avoiding the inhalation of anything other than THC, which is why I wondered whether or not it could be vaporized itself.
My assumption is that by vaporizing I would only get the 90-99% THC and the rest would be left behind the same as the spent weed after vaporization.
