Well I tried something a bit different this time when I was making Bubble Hash. Now, I line a 5 gallon bucket with the bags in order, and mix the frozen Trim, cold water and ice in a separate bucket with a cement mixer for 20 - 30 minutes, I dont let it sit, I just pour it through the bags and collect the hash after squeezing out the Work Bag. Then I set the Bubble Bags up again in the now empty bucket and pour the same water through the bags again, each time swishing the mixture around by hand to not catch the new work bag and tear it. I also push the work bag down into the water to resoak the Trim, swish, drain, collect, and reapeat untill I dont collect anymore of the Trichs (Hash). Then before I dispose of the trim, I put the work bag into the last bag, mine is a 20 micron, and run it under the fauset to waste. The object is to free all the broken Trich Heads from the mush trim. Believe it or not, I collected a plastic teaspoon on hash each time I reran the water through, over 20 times!

As I am convinced that I have collected the Lions Share of available Hash, I usually dispose of the used up trim now. Then I put 8 cups of the leftover green/brown sludge water into a deep pan with 2 lbs of Unsalted Butter, adding the rest of the water as it boils off, for 4 hours letting the mixture only boil slightly around the edges, and stirring often. I bought a potato ricer to squeeze the trim of its obsorbed butter, and by doing this I get back almost all of it. I ended up with just under 2 lbs of Cannabutter that ROCKED! 1.5 Tablespoons medicated me to the point equivalent to a normal smoking session. But 2 Tablespoons added some beneficial body effects, and made it difficult to walk a straight line, almost felt a bit drunk as I bounced off the walls trying to walk down the hallway!

Damn! You have to try it! One more way to utilize the byproducts of MMJ, and it is Worth It.

I have also started cutting up and soaking all of the stems after harvest in 75% Rubbing Alcohol for 3 months, I am 1 month in and tried a little on some hurting muscle and joints. It brought the pain level down to a manageable level, I cant wait till they have soaked the full 3 months. Thanks to Cat and Einstein over at HerbandLife.Org for that one! Now if I can find a way to medicate with the roots, there wont be anything wasted (unused).
