I think the key is to squash the hell out of it. It also damages the cells of the bud, which probably helps the soup form.
Hmm? Anyone brave enough to try hard-freezing one of these before zipping it up into its little cob sleeping bag? That ought to burst cell walls, depending on their moisture content.
A saltwater marinade was my first thought, but freezing seemed kinder.
And yet again, I find myself wishing my buddy hadn't managed to get himself fired from the local wastewater treatment plant. Their lab is... Someone must have been off his nut when he stocked that lab, because there are thousands of dollars worth of equipment that is of no useful purpose to the plant (or else the person was a bit like me, and liked to... play ). I wouldn't be wondering how I could use a pressure canner to place cannabis in a high-pressure environment without getting it wet if I could just throw it in a box and set the dial to five atmospheres.
