Hey guys!
First of all I would like to thank this community for all of the free info provided, you guys rock and Im trying to be a sponge and read as much as possible!
Basically my problems are simple just need level headed advice! I used to live in colorado but due to covid and some family members health/old age I’ve moved east to a state with a very different set of views.
I am very grateful/owe my life to my entire family and friends but the problem I am facing is a large majority smoke fake carts and that needs to change ASAP. They don’t fully understand the dangers that I stress to them but a few finally understand after trying a dispensary cart from another state, cousins and friends all cough up shit but keep going back to em because its all they can get/afford.
Medical is not an option here, quality and price is still a massive issue, 250 dollars to renew your card every year and 100 dollars a gram pen if you can even find a dispensary that has one. I am not trying to do this for profit but just help those that need it. Especially 3 family members who are recovering addicts.
So full disclosure I started on this journey before I found this wonderful congregation of mad lads me and my friends bought a bvv cart filler before I really knew all my options, from what I read on here I would probably have a easier time with a cart.farm filler and saved a little money too. Got an extra gasket just in case but any tips with it are appreciated.
I also bought a hot plate mixer with my cousins and a smaller heat mat to place my carts on as I fill, saw a few things saying if the carts are warm while filling that will help.
I planned on giving my 94% d8 and unknown d9 a hot water bath to get up to temp before the hot plate mixer but could I use my home microwave like I see some of these big guys do?
I also have cbd distillate, can I add it directly in to my hot mix or should I stir it in as its cooling down like I am supposed to do w the terps? Was told it was 91.325% cannabinoids, 88.45% cbd, 0.105% cbdv, 0.450% cbn and 2.10% cbg… any flags here?
What’s the best brand of butterknife to use?
Is wicking the carts actually worth it/ even needed?
I need to learn a lot more about terps but as most of this projects budget and time is dedicated to finding real D9 not full of pesticides/ cut to shit with D8 that I can actually use I’ve put this portion on the back burner. And being completely transparent this topic is one that I am most behind on reading up on, as a lot of the more popular posts I find echo a lot of wrongdoings/ lack of transparency ect I get fed up and start reading other useful threads.
If anyone reading this has any old/ unwanted terps hanging around I would be more than happy to be a disposal service for you/buy em/pay for shipping ect as any help would be humbling because I’m just a flat broke young dude. If there are any terpene companies out there that would be willing to send me some products I would be happy to write out a long thought out, but honest review!
Actually if any company would send me anything at all I would love do do anything in my power to reciprocate the favor, a video review, an essay, putting you on what meager socials I have. I was blown away by this groups generosity to give out chocolate for free and just asked for a review or when I messaged one of the cart guys on here they offered me samples for free out of their own kindness when I only had some basic questions about the manufacturing process and how shipping from china really worked/ how to find some vendors.
If I am mixing all of these cannabinoids back together in this instance is it possible for me to achieve the “entourage effect” with all these working together or is this no longer possible because they were stripped from separate plants with most of the chemical bonds broken down. running with this line of thought would cdt terps also help to improve this effect and if so is it truly a notable difference over using bdt terps… would bdt detract from this?
I know I will have to make small test batches to see what everyone likes and what really works with my to be determined ingredients but was thinking about starting with 70% d9 20%d8 5% cbd 5% terps or a 70,15,5,10 mix. Thoughts?
Hopefully I will be able to afford a smaller shipment of 500 carts or something like that by the end of the next month. We have all been purchasing crypto with our spare change in the hopes it will spike while I look for some distillate. If anyone would like to donate some or see my shit coin collection msg me.
Msg me about anything in this post please!
That’s enough rambling on my part, couldn’t sleep so i wrote this crap out at like 4am while reading the forum all night so please don’t flame me
