My future is now with this press. It is a 10 ton press and pretty compact. Come say hello in the youtube comments. You can also check out my grow. Cheers!

If you pressed it between smooth metal plates and then lightly heated the plates on an electric griddle or something you might be able to easily squeegee it off with a spatula of some sort. It might beat messing around with the parchment.

Nice to see someone actually want to learn about what they are ingesting,how its made,where it comes from and how it works.
A very deep question too. So many people use cannabis but know so little about this amazing plant and its many useful alkaloid compounds. That being said there is also a lot of junk in there too that we dont need. Thats what extracts are for. They are a concentrated form of extracted compounds.with there being so many compounds in this facinating plant, there is no extraction method that will extract just one. Whatever you use there is going to be compounds that extract with the thc (what I assume you want)
This is where fractional distillates come in. You've likly heard that term by now. It is the process of separating the mixture of compounds (hash oil) into fractions. Such as a thc fraction a cbd fraction terpene fractions etc...
There use to be so much out there. but its all overshadowed these days by butane and co2 extracted concentrates. If you google anything to do with cannabis and extract you are likely to get a solid 5 pages of nothing but co2 and butane. Mostly ignorant people trading bad tech and spreading it like a plague. Thats only because theres alot of money and invested interest made by a powerful few that make sure you think these are your best if not your only option.
how smart it is of you to want to learn this for yourself and not just believe the first thing you google or what the dispensaries are pushing. Im sure you have realized this by now but there is 100 different ways to make concentrates many of them centuries old. Its just a matter of what compounds you want and what works for you.
Thc with terp without terp witg cbc or cbd or without just thc just cbd.
Either way, new methods old methods whatever you choose remeber when your using solvents it is some pretty serious science, which is unbeknownst to most of the people making these waxes and shatters. So Make sure your products are tested for residual solvents and other contaminates and that the people making them are reputable and educated. Anyone can blast butane through a glass tube in their back yard.

What useful alkaloid compounds are present? I was aware of the many useful Alkenes (terpenes), but not of alkaloids (N2 bearing).

The family of chemically related 21carbon alkaloids found uniquely in the cannabis plant are known as cannabinoids. There are more than 60 different cannabinoids

simple nitrogenous zwitterionic compounds (muscarine, choline and trigonelline) as well as volatile, low molecular weight piperidines have been isolated from several related species including hemp

What I said earlier about pressing between metal plates, I guess they'd have to be very thin and have a high heat transfer rate. Maybe pieces from aluminum baking pans. The paper just seems troublesome and non user friendly.

You always talk.. Then back peddle.

Lol.
It surprises me that THCA isn't becoming popular.

It surprises me that you think you know something everone else doesn't.
Though you've made it clear you have no hands on experience. And your understandings are skewed at best

Sounds like he learning and researching alot before he commits to anything. He probably has picked up a lot of good info to share if he's studying beyond just whats in these forums and following what everyone else is doing

This is an interesting definition





Surprisingly he hasn't picked up anything...and there's alit of info in these forums
You might wanna learn some things as well

There is alot of people in these forums trading ignorance and bad tech too. Not to far away on this forum someone speaks of purging bho with a hair dryer

Of course I have a lot to learn. We all do. We should never stop learning. This is chemistry. I have an education in that beyond cannabis. Ive been making essential oils for a long time. Not all of them get you high you know

You have an education in chemistry?

21carbon alkaloids found uniquely in the cannabis plant are known as cannabinoids

Let's discuss what an alkaloid is..
What a cannabinoid actually is.. And what 21 carbon chains have to do with the discussion

In other words.. The entire paragraph is laughable


Funny enough though.. You plagiarized the paragraph..perhaps it wasn't meant to be passed as your own thoughts though

Oh do tell us of the sorcerer stone dr

Yes there are essential oils and active alkaloids all throughout nature i have studied and worked with. Not just drugs

Are you like sasha shulgin reincarnate?

Cocain gone gotta get online and be a dick?

Nice meltdown btw..

Your the guy that knows everything about everything. Lets here it. Write your thesis for us here
So you admit you have no idea what your talking about in the paragraph I quoted?

This is basic chemistry.. Hardly something any of us need to go over.. Hence fades reply to you.

He just isn't the abrasive "dick" that I am...
Pro tip: attacking the opposing idea with fowl language etc means your losing hard

Way to try and turn this to me.
Lol

Full meltdown imminent

Have a good one



And ya I got lots of energy..can post "refrences" all day.
Not that I need to use any to show you, you have no grasp on the topics at hand







Funny you have the energy to come on here.take other peoples words. Attack other members but not actually post intelligently.. Must be too much effort to use your nogin;)
