OldMedMan's Aloha Journal Part 2

[fish cake]

I can see where a Imaginary friends would be a necessity in the Dakoters LOL

Snow forts, tree houses, hay bale forts, riding calves, everything farming was a great time in my life. You talk to friends and they don't understand how a person could have fun doing those things. We lived pretty far out and the closest school mate was 2.5 miles away so my imaginary friends were first and foremost. Be good and get stoned Flower Child and reminisce.

Yep me too fishy.

How did you know my Ice Cream was melting?

I know you quite well OMM

Yep, you sure do fishy.

Happy Sativaday to you too Buddy. One thing I now know is this will, for sure, be my last grow of more than 2 or 3 plants. I want to sit on my butt for a while......and a while more.

you should have a pretty good stash once this one is under your belt and the rest from now on will be more just for fun and testing

I can understand the growing a lot of plants. the cores are never ending. I know after this one i will be going a little slower. The rewards will be great but a person needs time to sit and enjoy. Happy Sativaday to ya OMM

Happy Sativaday to everyone! I wish all I could just grow plants and not have to do anything else!! But it sure is a lot of work. I can totally relate to just sitting back and enjoying the harvest of great cured weed! I bet you will get bored and start growing before you know it!!

You have no idea- nearest neighbors were 5 miles away, we had electricity but that was about it.

Good Weed Jaga. From what I understand,with bubble hash the cold water breaks the actual tricomes off and you collect them. The heat from cooking weed destroys the tricomes and the freed THC is not water soluble, needs a fat to adsorb it. Thats why fat people have trouble passing drug tests- more body fat holds more THC.

I agree with Beemerbill. We all need time to stop and smell the roses. However I'm glad you're going to keep a couple plants growing OMM. They are like pets- you kind of miss them when they are gone!!

 

[Jaga]

Yea I did thanx that was really making me think it didnt make sense but I get it now? the butter acts as an agent for the thc to travel in,,

 

[Flower Child]

Oh- I almost forgot to say Happy Sativaday OMM and Jo!

Pretty much what FlowerChild said. When you're making ice water/bubble/dry ice/pollen hash, you're literally breaking off the tricomes. They don't disolve into the water though, that's why you're able to collect the hash in the first place.

Now, when cooking (or doing extracts), you need to use something that cannabinoids are disolvable in, a solvant. The 2 that work best for cannabis are fats and alchohols. So you use butter, milk, oil, cream, glycerine, etc. for edibles, this allows the THC/CBD/insert cannabinoid abbreviation here/ to bind to the fats, which will then be more readily absorbed by your digestive system, adding soy lecethin will increase absorbion as well. Alchohol, well, it's alchohol, it can disolve a lot of things. For cooking, unless you're doing certain dishes, the alchohol process isn't needed.

Yes Sir beemerbill. Non-stop at the moment. Of course if I would pay attention better, it would be easier.
