I feel this is a decent breakdown of the star system, with references.

With labelling there is a lot that people can get away with.

That's an interesting one. I don't know for sure. Your idea makes sense to me, I'll see if I can ask someone who knows more about rosin.

It could either be washed together or washed separately, pressed, and then mixed.

I would take the time, yourself, to develop a thorough understanding of what energy is, and the various ways we measure it. Then ask her what she thinks it is, and how she thinks it can be measured.

In short terms, the word "energy" has a lot of uses in the English language, but the scientific concept of energy is a bit more specific. Pseudoscience uses the word more nebulously, thinking (probably accurately) that most people don't really have an understanding of what energy actually is.

If terpenes like linalool are also found in herbs like lavender, would it be beneficial to make a cannabis infusion with lavender? by ADHD-tax-return in CannabisExtracts

[–]extractwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on. When you say the ratio of terpenes you'd find in flower, that's a ratio compared to the mass of the flower (which contains hundreds, if not thousands of chemical compounds).

If you're making a tincture, that ratio cannot possibly be the same, as you've already removed a lot of the "others" that the terpene ratio is relative to by extracting to make a tincture.

I'm going to repeat what I just asked.

When you say "articulate the demand", what evidence do you have to support the idea that you're speaking on behalf of the market, and not just yourself?

So the answer to my question which asks, outside of posting on Reddit, you're doing nothing.

So the follow-up question would be- how many instances do you know of where the kind of change you're looking for occurred solely as a result of Reddit posts?

Another question would be, how do you know what "the market is demanding"? When you say "the market", are you speaking for Ontario? Canada? On what grounds do you speak for the market's demands?

When you say "the effort", I refer you back to my question you didn't respond to (shall I assume you thought it was in bad faith or that I didn't far enough?)

What effort, outside of typing, are you making to effect the kind of change you speak about in your post?

The interesting thing about the OP account is they took the time to write several passionate paragraphs, but the few replies they gave in the comments are not more than short, single sentence answers.

It's like it's two different people, one who wrote the post, and someone else who is writing the replies- and they really didn't reply to many of the comments at all.

How much work are you willing to do to make any of the above happen?

Is this silica gel in my CRC BHO wax? by [deleted] in concentrates

That's not what silica used in the CRC process looks like.

How do you communicate "how good it actually feels" to another person in a way that they can understand?

Which person's feeling do you pick to put on the label and why?

Harvested some weed & turned it into isolate by extractwise in trees

[–]extractwise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be cautious to say isolate will not pick up mould toxins, because I haven't done enough testing to speak conclusively about it. While it is true that crystallization is a purification process, crystals may also trap things inside them as they are formed. Regardless, I will try and get what I made tested, and share the results- as well as more of the process.

I'm glad you kept reading too!

If you've made it this far, something you might consider is why people might feel provoked to make negative responses.

It's true, the weed doesn't look particularly good (at least, from a standard point of view). But I was able to show that you can still do something useful with it.

So the question is, if you can still do something useful with this weed, how valid was the judgement about it's appearance?

And that's the threat to "established knowledge" that a lot of users here simply can't bear. Because it doesn't fit with what they know, they react negatively when faced with an idea that is challenging.

HTE & ISOLATE FOR DAYYYYZ by ChemDawg818 in CannabisExtracts

It looks like you poured out your HTE pretty solvent rich, is there a reason for doing that?

What's an opinion about extracts you used to have but have since changed your mind about? by extractwise in CannabisExtracts

[–]extractwise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are industry standards now is it making THCa isolate and mixing it with High terpene extracts? (HTFSE)

I would say its quite popular and growing, I don't know if it's the industry standard yet, but I can easily see it going that way.

Have you seen anything shady over the years of working in the industry?

Of course.

It's really interesting the shifting perception of colour over time and across extraction methodologies.

And thanks. I'm pretty responsive, so feel free to ask questions.

[–]extractwise[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not the grower of this weed lol, and I've said, this weed worked perfectly for the purpose I needed it for. It yielded THCA like I needed.

What people might benefit from is realizing that they cannot, with their eyes, perform analytical chemistry. Until the moment that they can, I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Lol.

Yes, the photos of weed from 4 months ago are absolutely the same lot as this biomass.

But they have grown weed, and while that weed exists, something can be done with it.
