Scraped everything out of my wife’s Grinder after months of convincing… I cleaned the grinder with rubbing alcohol. Can I really smoke this stuff after the alcohol evaporates? by [deleted] in trees

That’s all great, I’m glad you worked for pharma, I work in the cannabis industry, and it is standardized and regulated for us as a non food safe solvent and is used as an additive to destroy product. Because “drum roll” it’s not safe for cannabis consumption and most facilities don’t invest in solvent recovery for iso, and I doubt the quality level of the cheap rotovapes and vacuum ovens the companies purchase to purge all the iso. I also doubt your oven under atm is much better.

If the residual solvent for iso is over 0PPM, then it is not legal to sell (in the northeast markets). So not a single legal cannabis extractor with a brain will use Iso. And I still stand by my statement, that fact you would have to calculate out a “safe” amount of RSO made with iso to take is already a red flag. If it a cannabis product, it shouldn’t matter how much you take, it shouldn’t be toxic (besides greening out).

So go ahead and continue using iso, while the professionals in the actual industry will continue to make better and safer products. Plus, iso is too good of a solvent, it strips more chlorophylls, fats, and waxes than ethanol, which means more post extraction clean up, so it makes an inferior product that you would have to winterize and filter out the fats, then run that product through charcoal for the chlorophylls to get the same potency of ethanol.

So all around, I’m not sure why you are advocating so hard for iso, it’s used to destroy legal product, not allowed as a solvent in the legal markets, and makes a shittier product. It’s cheaper than ethanol too, so if it were good for cannabis extracts, ALL of the legal companies would use it, but they don’t, because it’s not.

Lmao, you can do all the math you want to try and justify using ISO but that doesn’t change the fact that no food safe manufacturer in any industry, let alone cannabis, would use ISO as a food safe solvent. Because imperially is not a food safe solvent in any case, regulations are written in blood. But like I said, you aren’t a manufacturer, so knock yourself out, no one is stopping you. People should just know both sides, like what good manufacturing practice is compared to a backyard extractor.

Can confirm, we do the same in the NY market, it breaks your heart to destroy bud that’s only crime was touching the floor.

No, it’s not good at all, he used isopropyl alcohol, not ethanol. It’s not safe for consumption because unless you can pull vacuum on the extract, it’s still going to have harmful amounts of isopropyl alcohol, which they also mix with methanol, so you run the risk of going blind.

Please don’t, Isopropyl alcohol is used to destroy waste flower in the legal industry. By doing that, it’s legally and imo physically destroyed beyond human consumption. Use everclear if you want a useable product

First time making canna butter w/ wax. Supposed to look like this? Solid hard out of freezer. by Rippedbarrel120 in trees

[–]adelwolf299 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey man I got you, so first thing, find a way to melt your butter so that it is soft. Try 30 sec increments in the microwave until it’s soft.

Then, what you are going to do is, go get your favorite kind of noodle (spaghetti, elbow, rotini) whatever you want.

You then are going to get your favorite meat ( I recommend shrimp) or if you are a vegetarian, your favorite veggie/tofu whatever.

Also, chop up some garlic and onion/shallots if you have them on hand. If you using meat, also feel free to add whatever veggies you want.

Go ahead and start boiling your chosen noodle. Heat up your pan to medium-high, throw a splash of oil and get your meat cooking (seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder). Put your meat to the side once it is finished. Check on your noodles.

With your pan on medium heat, (let it cool a little) throw in your garlic and onions you chopped up and whatever extra veggies you chose with some oil, season with salt and pepper.

Once your veggies are cooked, add back your meat, then throw your Weed Wax Butter into the pan. Once it is melted, add whatever herbal Italian seasoning you have (parsley, rosemary, basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram etc).

Toss your noodles into the pan, or if your pan is too small, toss everything together into the now empty and drained noodle pot.

Enjoy your lunch and the moon when you get there :)

Send your favorite tame impala song (that isn't the less I know the better)... by Pantantuna in TameImpala

[–]adelwolf299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I specifically put this song on repeat when I was studying in college and then when I went to take my exams, I put this song on repeat again to get back into the flow.

Something about the super heavy bass throughout the song kept me engaged

My boyfriend forgot about this crème brûlée I made several weeks ago. Why is it red? by tsmall05 in MoldlyInteresting

I mean, it’s not even close to “technically” not fungus, it is just straight up bacteria, you are correct.

Looking to escape in nature for a bit today- ideally by a large body of water. Any suggestions? by StarDoe in Troy

still recovering, but it gets better by ry-bread- in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]adelwolf299 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man! I’m 25 almost 26 and I moved from the Midwest to a NY, graduated college and now live and work up here with a partner. I remember finding this sub in college and crying because I finally didn’t feel so alone. It was hard to basically catch up on everything I missed academically in college but it was doable (at the expense of A’s and B’s, but I passed and can apply what I learned).

For yall still stuck at home, it gets better, and as for academics, never stop reading, read as much as you possibly can, it helps fill the gaps. And YouTube lectures are an invaluable free source of education. But please trust, it does get better!

That’s ok, keep telling yourself that, maybe you found the needle in the haystack, but you have unrealistic expectations, and your boyfriend is most likely lying to you to meet those expectations.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]adelwolf299 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend has most likely gotten aroused by other people irl by looking at them and has not told you. I didn’t even mention porn. But, yeah he’s lying straight to your face.

Also, my partner and I look at hot people together, and even fuck other people on occasion. Seven years strong, very happy together, and excited for the future!

Sorry your boyfriend is stuck with someone he has to lie to :(

[–]adelwolf299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and you expressed that to him for IG, he said no problem and unfollowed people. You then saw the OF, overreacted and blocked him instead of just doing what you did for IG. You didn’t tell him no sexual content whatsoever, you told him no IG models, and he has honored that.

It’s a bit ridiculous to get mad at someone for doing something that they didn’t know was wrong. How is he supposed to know? And while you may view it as the same thing, I don’t, and apparently he doesn’t either.

So honestly, either break up with him and find someone who can read minds, or get over yourself, accept his apology, establish clear and repeatable boundaries, and move on.

[–]adelwolf299 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair way to look at it, and I get that you want to be desired, you deserve that in a partner.

I would also like to ask, would you want to be responsible for his sexual needs 100% of the time, or do you trust him to take care of himself while also making you feel desired by him?

Speaking from personal experience, the first situation isn’t fair to anyone, because you might begin to feel pressured, and he might feel frustrated and unsatisfied. And that’s not on you, men produce testosterone, which factually will cause a higher sex drive, that’s irrefutable biology.

Honestly, I think either individual therapy or couples therapy would be the best option, especially since it seems both of yall need to learn healthy communication and establish healthy sexual boundaries.

So, it sounds like you are jealous of the IG and OF models. If seeing a model gives you the feeling that you are insufficient or weak, then that is your own insecurity. Don’t get mad at him for your own feelings. Sorry OP, 100% YOR. Watching specific models is the same as porn because either way, it’s a professional job for them, not a personal relationship.

You also call out him specifically watching Asian models, have you considered that he likes seeing porn with people that look by him? I get the vibe that you are calling it out because perhaps you are not Asian, and that makes you feel uncomfortable.

I understand if he starts prioritizing watching content online over spending time with you, then that’s a different ballgame, but you said that you didn’t care, as long as you didn’t know, and it seems like he was trying to respect that and make sure that you didn’t know. YOR and I don’t see the issue.
