Would pine rosin, or bees wax work as a solvent ??

Pine rosin contains resin acids, and abietic acids which seem to have simmilar propertys to known solvents

Beeswax has many similar compounds


Im trying to make a pine gum infused product , with 100% homemade ingredents , I think I could just use a glycerin but Im not sure it would even mix in well and it would surely make the end product softer

You can ostensibly mix pine rosin or bees wax and cannabis oil while hot and they will blend, but wouldn't be a good choice for extraction.

Im not actually looking to do a extraction with the rosin or wax but us a pre-made bubble

My concern is without a fat/oil the extract will not be active

or will a decarb take care of that ??

The fat or oil doesn't make the cannbinoids active, but they do tie up the liver processing them, so that the cannabinoids stay in the system longer.

Decarboxylating only allows it cross the blood brain barrier more readily and reach the CB-1 receptors, but they don't have to to reach the immune system CB-2 receptors throughout our bodies.
