Extract laws

Greetings fellow Maineahs'

The topic is extracts. Basically im wondering where the legal lines are and why we draw them where we do. Hash and kif are illegal because they are concentrated,processed, blah, blah. However, is mmj butter not a processed concentrated thing? Topicals? Butter is more processed than kif i would say. Personally, if i could have it my way, i would just do a couple nice dabs per day of oil, minimal smoke inhalation, and your getting just what you need from the plant, not all the garbage (hopefully). So, where do we draw the line, Are edibles and topicals illegal? Why or why not? What are other states doing? I think if 1 extract is illegal, then they all have to be. It only makes sense, however im certainly not in favor of that. If that were the case, the only safe way for a doctor to recommend using would be to vape buds....not 100% ideal. To me, at the end of the day, thc is thc. Would you rather drink a 12 oz beer or a 1.5 oz. shot? Right?

All MJ plant material should be legal> concentrated or not

Discussed on here many times. It doesn't matter what we think, it simply is not clear in the law. There won't be clarity on it until and unless there is a court case. Until then, I will continue to consider my extracts simply extracts and refrain from calling it the h word.

Good point on the H word tet haha. Even the word concentrate. I think extracts is prob the least "intense" term haha. And yeah, i havent heard of any recent cases or anything, it would be interesting to see what might happen in such a situation.

Now, i havent been to a dispensary at all. Do they sell foods or topicals or anything? I heard recently of a dispensary getting "busted" for selling kif.

I have not been to a dispensary either. From reports i have read on another forums they do sell edibles. Not sure about topicals.

The dispensary in Portland has kief (or did ) for $50 a gram. They have tincture too. I dont think they ventured into the edibles market yet...
And again, i went there 1 time to check it out. The prices pissed me off so much i didn't buy anything.

Oh shi... $50 per gram?
I can't find anything in the Maine mmj laws that would make kief anything other than "prepared marijuana" .

Dhhs had the OPINION that Kief is illegal, but even that seems to be changing. The last thing I have seen them saying is that "sales" of kief are prohibited.

Wellness Connection dispensaries also were selling "kief" -- resin that comes from cannabis and can accumulate in containers or be shaken or sifted from dried buds, the state said. Albert said program rules have long been interpreted to prohibit sales of kief, which produces a high concentration of psychoactive ingredients.

How much should kief cost?
20-25 per gram for good stuff?

What is the problem with vaping?
I quit smoking buds about 5 years ago. I would almost rather go without than smoke. almost.

"Program rules have long been interpreted..."

Haha. So basically, they are admitting that theres a gray area and its pretty much open to interpretation.

I got nothing against vaping. Ive got a couple buddies with volcanos, def. a good way to do it. I think kief would be much more that $20-25 per g. Probably closer to $50 sounds right... Theres still people out there paying $20 per g for headie nugs. I could imagine kief from that tye of nugs would have to go for about double.

Still too much $ in my opinion

If I were to sell my kief it wouldn't be for more than $20/Gram

As long as its considered legal, i might buy it at that price! Haha. And i uavent needed to buy anything for quite some time. but Yeah, its nuts. Ive heard of bho going for 80-100 per g. I mean, really nice honeycomb or shatter takes a lot of work with the purge and all but...jeez. I dont think thats justifiable in any case. But, in some places if your the only person with it, you can make the rules i guess. Especially if your not in a rush to move it.
