Wax Is Weed’s Next Big Thing And No One Knows If It’s Safe

Waxes aren't dangerous what so ever. The problem is the bad publicity of morons trying to make it and blowing themselves up.

If you get a wax BHO for example, and winterize it you are completely safe. I'm not saying without winterizing isn't safe but for some they worry.

C02 is just another form, which is cleaner.

As long as everything is purged and properly processed you don't have anything to worry about.

It was definitely not garbage. the superiority complex present here is akin to wall street bankers arguing over which make believe bank policy will screw more people.

You do understand that we all experience cannabis different, right? So your dumbass experience is NOT RELEVANT to me.

lol.. MY EXPERIENCE lol.. ya that's why DABS are exploding right now.. in popularity amongs recreational and medical users.. only because my EXPERIENCE LOL..

got that garbage attitude that matches that garbage you are smoking on the regular.

There are good and bad concentrates, regardless of the process. Properly made, there is nothing wrong with any of them, though if you are actually combusting them, you are exposing yourself to the same free radical and carcinogens that cigarettes do.

Judging the best, based on the worst examples, is clearly a fools errand, so when discussing the merits, it is ostensibly more productive to discuss properly made concentrates, and acknowledge that people do make bad ones for a separate discussion.

Whether Kif or BHO is best, becomes moot when the Kif is unsuitable for things like sublinguals, topicals, and suppositories, which is the form that we have typically supply heavy cancer dosages in, and after around a decade of doing so, there is now ample evidence that BHO exhibits medicinal properties.

I have noticed that dabbing concentrates heavy in plant waxes, causes me to cough up more phlegm to expel it, so typically use subzero extraction or winterize the material I make for my own use.

Ostensibly, vaporizing Kif at the proper temperature, would contain less wax than vaporizing flowers, or unwinterized BHO, as it has only the cuticle waxes and not the leaf waxes.

Solvent extraction begs regulation, as bait for federal mandate logic proves the greater trajectory of cannabis' "legal" financial gains are risking prosperity due to a bait or chum which a government can use as an achilles heel to weaken a legalization/decriminalization movement.

Whether the whole of cannabis related business owners should burden their financial future based on extraction technology the government has known as harmful and a potential profit loss since mid-century is leaning towards illogical. Tax-payers will burden the responsibility of maintaining a regulatory vehicle for solvent based extracts when in truth any alleged solvent related superiority is arbitrary on average and objective in its competitive, qualitative and comparative value.

I also feel it unfair to compare the matrix surrounding oils used for topicals or sublingual when the bulk of dispensary sales in regards to BHO origin product is profit related to dabbing. Its important to remind everyone of medicinal value and those who suffer who need this medicine in the correct form, but the truth is also important as regards this plant. It is trend culture which keeps the price up, its not redundant decry of quality, so in truth cancer sufferers, aids patients, epileptics et al are corralled at price-point because of the greater majority's lifestyle decisions surrounding which nail, rig and borosilicate is choice.

The cartridge industry isn't exactly booming, but it felt like the solution five years ago. The medicine vs. money mountain is our real challenge. At what point are we willing to admit our profits have nothing to do with healing, but rather are mitigated by personal gain? I feel we're dishonest about it because we are desensitized via prohibition, a sense of entitlement takes over since many of us have been waiting all our lives to medicate without mandate.

MJtheIndicator: I am not dishonest about my concentrates, but then again, I don't sell them. I have only given it away for free in the past to cancer patients that were registered to me through the act.

I see where you are coming from, especially when it comes to the highest medicinal quality oil I am capable of making. I only get 3 grams from a premium ounce of bud. Then everything is done organically which cost more. My decarbing process, completely natural, no heat, requires at lest 100 days. I don't see how anybody could sell a product like this and make a profit without diluting it or taking shortcuts.

I agree, it is too bad that the people who need the concentrates for medicine are not getting quality product. That is why I make my own.
