      Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

    They’re just buds, and without the proper extraction equipment, there’s not much you can do with it other than make some very weak edibles. I suppose you could also smoke it, but then you’d skunk up the entire neighborhood and not even get that* high.

    10 years ago I would be salivating over this picture, but with legalization being a thing in many parts of the world for so long now, it’s kind of hard to get excited over buds when you’re used to high-terpene concentrates that are easily 5x stronger than flower.

      without the proper extraction equipment

      All you need is a a proper filter and you can shift the kief out and press it. Can get one from most fabric stores, just right micron size. Now you’ve got traditional hash.

      That’s not as effective but arguably simpler equipment than this next one. Pick up acetone and a glass/metal container and bowl (oh and a metal sieve if you’ve not got one, but coffee filters will do as well) from a hardware store. Crush the bud, soak it in acetone, pour the acetone into the bowl and then let it evaporate. That’s oil. With a little tuning, you can make extremely high quality extracts this way.

      So idk, you’re probably thinking of some elaborate CO2 extraction systems as “proper extraction equipment” but none of that jazz is necessary for high quality extracts. We’ve been making them for literally a few thousand years by hand, lol. Although making charas is out of the question pretty much with dry weed.

      Doesn’t even look that great from the parts you can see and the fact it’s definitely been in those packs for a long time, it’s probably throat scratching med-tier over-dry weed. Meh.

        Not exactly. 1g of concentrate will last me almost a week. Bud just isn’t that potent unless you’re a Boomer, or someone who really doesn’t smoke weed unless you’re around people who have it. (Commonly known as the “moocher smoker”)

        Not to mention that inhaling all that chlorophyll and tar is not good for your lungs, plain and simple. With a proper extract, the only things going into your lungs are terpenes and THC.

        Protect your health, and say no to cannabis buds.

      I’ll need a couple bags to test and make sure. Maybe 3-4 to get enough to determine 100%. I’ll get the results back to you in a couple of months.
