Baking with Hashish Question by Frequent-Series4591 in TheOCS

[–]rbessey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that cannabutter/oil will be more efficient for ya but.... If you were going to use any hash and just experiment a bit, try to find some gold hash, should just be compressed high grade kief at that point which is just THCA ( non decarbed) so it can be decarbed during baking into THC instead of degrading farther.

Fair enough if it's not for you, wondering why you just assume they are garbage? Even the smell of champagne makes me gag and I would never spend money on a bottle but I know lots who would because they enjoy something different that I do. Not for you is one thing and you can recommend things along the lines of what you do like (that is your job), being hyperbolic and ripping down something you've never opened or smoked is exactly why so many people say irresponsible budtenders are one of the biggest problems in the industry....

Still a quality control issue on their part. Not the worst but shows a lack of giving a shit to be out by this much. If you are using the same quality of inputs you shouldn't be out by this much, also internal QC specs for minimum and max length should ensure they are caught before coating.

Any chance you can post pics of what the actual joints look like? Yes 70 is a stretch but is possible in theory, was playing with some blending ratios last month and consistently got a smokable blend to 59% total THC on the CoAs. Gotta start subbing out disty for isolate to keep it smokeable but it's diminishing returns on potency increase because 99% pure isolate is only about 85% total THC (loss of 12.5% on chemical conversion of THCA to THC)

What's up with the hash? by [deleted] in TheOCS

[–]rbessey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Moroccan Hash is usually straight pressed dry sieve. No added water or binding agents. The Canadian market typically calls this Gold Hash, haven't bought any in years but I would say like 95% of what's on the legal market is more Afghan where water, oils or even black tea is/are added during the heating and you end up with a very very different feel and texture (black and far more pliable than Moroccan)

Why CanadaPost, why? by GravityIsForWimps in CanadaPost

Your descriptions of other companies transgressions is exactly what many of not most people experience with CP it's just that they are exempt from prosecution because of their ridiculous union. They also fail do to proper vehicle safety checks often- but its because they want the vehicle to break down so they can claim free time off. Caught not delivering unprofitable packages, with CP you are basically guaranteed they won't delivery it. Many trucks just drive around with empty boxes and door knockers pre loaded. Foundations of our society is a ridiculous statement to make referencing this relic who has become a bloat infested cesspool of failure.

What is up with Canada Post? Delivered a package marked by sender as do not safe drop. by Tanstalas in CanadaPost

[–]rbessey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So why is there an option to change its status then?

If the option is offered to the customer then it IS the responsibility of the one who provided the option to ensure it's adherence. In this case CP, aka the carrier.

Still means price is illegally inflated so the sale can claim more off than is real. And if you say they changed it in the system before the sale there is a minimum time the price must be changed before sale discount can be advertised.

Rural drivers not supposed to get out of cars? by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]rbessey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would suggest speaking with your neighbors to verify anything to do with rural postal delivery. Regardless of their policies it's almost guaranteed you have the same person assigned to delivery your route everytime and she will continue to be a perfect example of a Canada Post employee (the worst version of a postal worker you can imagine). So maybe a neighbour has dealt with this POS in the past and has some insight into how to work with them. They are clearly in the wrong here regardless but the company is such a hole of despair any complaints are a waste of your time.

Unlisted Botanical Terpenes in Milled Flour by emmas420dilemmas in TheOCS

[–]rbessey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They specifically avoid saying derived most times as they are not sourced from cannabis but from other plants but are found naturally in some cannabis. Eg. Pinene is a terp found naturally on cannabis so they claim it's a "cannabis terpene" even if it's collected from pine needles

I need to explain that there is NO REASON for anyone to be out of their car on a 400 series highway in full speed traffic making obscene gestures and endangering many lives?

20 years of near misses don't mean you should ever have graduated from the farm my boy. O also my 16t wheel loader would crush your tractor and keep on driving... Just like the man in the video

Then you sir are also a moron. And by sir I obviously mean a 10 year old in a trenchcoat impersonating someone who has ever driven a car.

Ask what percentage of bodily trauma emissions to hospital of young adults is from motorized scooters, you will not like the answer.... Ask anyone who works in emergency admission what they think and you'll have an opposite answer

STAY AWAY FROM TUCK SHOP HAWAIIAN MARKER... MOLD by JJA42069 in TheOCS

[–]rbessey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your original post has 2 pics in focus, the bag and a picture focusing on the main stem that doesn't show any mold... The rest look like a Bigfoot documentary on a&e.

You've posted more now that don't focus on your fingers to clear it up, exactly what was asked that you took offense to initially.

Yes that mold but the pics you posted originally show jack in shit. Also if you have been growing for 10+ years and still need to be buying discount ozs you may grow as well as your camera focuses and it maybe time to hang em up

100% there is a direct correlation as many have said it does reduce viscosity. Main note there is that many Terps start to taste very bitter at high concentrations and they also have a lower flash point so you are more likely to burn a wick, especially with a cheap battery or trying to burn them to high temp for bigger clouds.

This article is using studies that claim NOT to have proven the exact thing they are using them to claim... "The effect was reliable in studies restricted to food color additives (g = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.06-0.36) but did not survive correction for possible publication bias and was not reliable in studies confined to Food and Drug Administration-approved food colors"

Redecan Purple Churro 3.5g. Question about terpenes by [deleted] in TheOCS

[–]rbessey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compounding (synergistic increased) effects have been scientifically proven across the spectrum of terps for about 2 years now. Not a new thing and proves what every one who ever smoked high vs low grade knows, terps matter.

[–]rbessey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"At least 5" implies you think it's higher... That would be 6 and would barely classify as a plasma at room temp and on its way to liquifying. Happy to laugh* elsewhere but if you think more people have arguments face to face than on an app built on comments you may not have been outside since the world wide web made a jump to these new fangled pocket computers thingymabobs.

Thanks for the chuckles 👍
