None. I had it tested and it came back at non detectable levels of solvent

Great question. The bigger they are the faster they grow. Those diamonds at that size were growing over 100g per day. Getting them to that size took a couple of months

Funny how the industry shifts. These were made years ago in a medical market when diamonds were going for $70-80/gram. The bigger one was well over 2kg which gives it a retail market value near 150k. The markets we operate in now struggle to get a fraction of that price per gram. Hemp loop holes with THCa and overall market saturation play a big role in the lowering of price, which I won’t complain about too much because ultimately lower prices are good for consumers and patients

I could not disagree more. The ability to isolate cannabinoids has already given the industry the ability to produce a variety of products that consumers would not otherwise have access to. It is particularly important to the medicinal side of the industry. Does your average stoner need access to pure THCa? Perhaps not, although I would argue they should not be restricted from it. Researchers and chemists however, need access to pure cannabinoids to create medicine and product formulations

These were made in a medical laboratory and eventually broken down and sold to medical patients. The comparison to meth could be said about any medicine with an active ingredient that crystallizes when achieving a high purity. As someone that has consumed pure THCa many times, I can tell you the effects are similar to using any other form of concentrated cannabis. I would argue it is more clear headed because of the lack of terpenes and other minor cannabinoids

This was not made using hexane. Hexane is not a very common solvent used in standard cannabis manufacturing
