Title: whats your favorite concentrates hash or bud?
Post by: gpgbuisman on May 08, 2013, 03:48 am
ive had my share of good bud and hash but have never had the chance to get a hold of some good bho, while my search will never come to an end i hope that i will eventually try the best hash mc and concentrates out there. ive had some strains that just did me good by them self's while others need a white widow hash mixture. im a marijuana advocate who grows/smokes and all around loves the plant. how does the sr community feel about there marijuana.? do you prefer mid? dont like hash? whats your opinion.

i like to roll blunts if im like 3 or 4 folk deep or riding around

but any other time bho is the only way to go, all i've smoked for quite a while now and all i really care to smoke.  i love the ritual of dabbing and its the only shit that actually medicates me anymore, if i can't dab i can't eat, sleep, function in public, etc. due to various physical/mental issues. 

the only thing that i don't like about bho is that my friends and other people often can't handle it, it either puts them to sleep or they feel too high, which nobody likes lol..  i only have one friend that can go glob-for-glob for me and we'll drop some serious loogies like the kind that make yr ass SWEAT b2b all nite, the kind that sink your battleship ya kno

if you grow and you arent making bho w/ yr trim you are seriously missing out, i extract with a old topo chico bottle with the bottom cracked off and a hole in the cap, 20 bucks says you have something in your house right now that you could use to do it, just throw down for a can of tane and get down to business.. once again, i love the ritual of making bho as well.  everything about it is just fun to me ya

I've personally stayed from bho since the last time I smoked it. I coughed up blood, no joke. This was straight from the cannabis club "medical grade" and I don't think it was purged correctly. So my experiece is that while the high is typically much stronger, there's not much consistency with the extraction process that even the club vendors use so I don't trust like I trust some quality indoor. Personally, I've totally bought into all the hype around Girl Scout Cookies, that's my preferred smoke for sure! Second to that is a quality OG cross.

There was one place that used to sell super bomb CO2 extracts. The SkyJack was my favorite. It was a sativa dominant hybrid and contained 92% THC. Smelled like jack buds and hit super clean unlike some other extracts (likely due to butane purging) But now I have a connect for >93% THC "hash" for only $35 grams. The reason i say "hash" is because its actually wax but the way the guy makes it puts it under the hash category (it isnt gas extracted but rather refined using many many different processes)

I can't wait until CO2 becomes more common. No one seems to know how to purge the butane effectively. At least in my experience anyway. Has anyone heard of Ice-wax by the way? Not refined bubble hash but actual wax that uses an ice extraction process? A friend of mine picked this up recently and swears by it. I haven't seen it though so I can't verify...

DUDE! Theyre so bomb! They actually smell like the buds they were made from, and they dont have that heavy/harsh butane grab! Ive heard of this but im not sure if ive had it (my friends and I dab/smoke/vape a lot of different things so its fairly likely that i have) ill keep a keen eye out though  ;)

Also I stopped consuming butane extracts because a lot of recent research has been saying that it may contribute to heart problems, lung conditions, etc. I developed a gnarly cough for a bit when i was dabbing a lot for a good month, but after i eliminated butane extracts it improved significantly (im slightly athsmetic so ingesting any inhalants always leaves me with a slight case of smokers cough)

wow tbh yall it sounds like what you got was badly purged iso, not bho..  i know a lot of "medical" clubs sell qwiso as bho and just sell horrible concentrates in general, most of the worst bho ive had has been from dispensaries.  i have also seen people cough up black/grey shit/bits of blood when smoking terrible qwiso..  its kinda sickening really because bho, when purged properly (this is not something you need a vacuum to do btw you can purge EASILY using just heat), is very smooth and while it might get you coughin/sweatin it's actually much better for your lungs (from what i understand, i dont like to spread misinformation so if i'm wrong call it out).  really the worst that i've seen happen due to a bad purge was a fat dab making crazy fireworks shot hot oil into my friend's eye..

ice-wax, which is just real full-melt btw (no matter what anyone says, it IS bubble hash), is not going to be as potent as it would be if you'd solvent-extracted the same material.  that being said, it can still be very potent, but it won't hold its own against a real good oil. 

as far as co2, i've had plenty of shit that people called co2 oil but i've never seen anyone make it nor ever really been convinced that people are doing it a lot.  the fact is, if you can get ahold of some n-butane and a nice extractor with a recovery system, what comes out is just as clean as any co2 oil would be (again my understanding), and co2 is much much more expensive and difficult to work with.  i make my own concentrates all the time and the only special thing i do is use a micron filter instead of coffee filters, i have a friend who washes hers in denatured alcohol to get the last of the waxes out afterwards but i've never really done this step because i don't like waiting for it to freeze, seperate out, etc before you can just drop a bhomb.  and i get ooey gooey sap consistently that is smooth and dabbable all day long. 

its a bummer that yall have had such bad experiences with it.  like i said, when done properly, there will be virtually no butane left in your extract, and doing it properly doesn't require anything special..  you inhale more combusted butane when you smoke a bowl id think than you ever would dabbing and that butane in your bic is FAR nastier..  i think there's a lot of misinformation out there about butane extracts, and extracts in general, and a lot of is fear-based because ppl think it's some wild new thing.. i know folk who've been dabbing many times daily for 8 or 9 years and many, many others have been doing it much longer out on the coast.. and we're all doing just fine  :)  ymmv
