This kind of stuff is being done with the majors, solvent mixtures to match polarity, etc.
There’s even a bit done on other components but like you said, without pharma paying the many billions needed to get new drugs to the market what’s the solution…
Industry group sounds good but without a real ROI how can the industry group fund a single $500,000,000 project let alone ten…
If our government was actually functional and had the best interest of not only the richest people they could fund it but lol that’s not the case

CWEB can issue shares and fund a few $500m projects.
I’m sure they can but they’ll claim whatever gets made as their own regardless of who contributed just like they did with the Charlotte’s Web strain… If you want evidence aside from hearsay, their presentations at the FDA CBD comment hearing didn’t make them sound likely they wanted to share anything.
Not that that makes then necessarily bad players, every corporation need to make that money

This is a job for Academia using grant money.
There are numerous research groups that could start tomorrow with world class expertise if the grants were forthcoming from the Feds.
If a true Progressive got elected President maybe this could happen with industry pressure.
The Pharma majors will eventually do some of this research to aid their marketing campaigns but they won’t publish the data.
I can see the slogans now: “Buy Marlboro vape cartridges, the only brand based on scientifically proven buzz research.”

I have noticed that crc runs has a distinct smell for the most part, its kind of like an og but hard for me to explain.
I did 3 different side by side tests of potency and terpenes and all the crcs had 3%+ more terpenes then the non crc and 1 percent more total cannabinoids. This was 2 strains i split up and ran half crc and half regular and that is my numbers so far after 6 tests results. I am going to continue testing and I’ll post my results if anyone wants to see them.

Difference in total yields?
More yield, after the run I rinse the powder with more solvent and get everything else and I have been getting back more from the 2 collections then my original numbers, plus both colors are way better first being clear, second yellow tinge, these were live resin which is what I do usually.

Thanks for the efforts.

So your premise here is that when you concentrate cannabis, a result that concentrates the resin from cannabis trichomes to around 4-8X of what you experience in a whole flower, that you all of a sudden create a dangerous compound to vaporize.
So in other words, for thousands of years, people have inhaled combusted smoke from cannabis flower, but all of a sudden, concentrating a component of it 5X, and instead of combining it with the combustion of several other substances, allow it to be vaporized into the lungs, that now it’s dangerous?
I’m not sure what comment implied that. Not saying that anything in cannabis is dangerous, when concentrated, but certainly there are compounds that can cause harm in concentrated form. Hell, you can die from drinking too much water

Terpenes form cancer causing molecules when they’re vaporized too hot
Shit a guy here in LA wanted to win a Wii for his kid and drank a gallon of water on a radio station.
He died

One gallon? Yikes I’ll stick to Brawndo. It’s got electrolytes

Distilled water is especially dangerous. You can drink small amounts, but you will have issues with drinking a lot.
Topic drifted a bit.
My original contention was that CRC produced great products, but at what cost? How much beneficial effect remains in the filter? There are so many compounds in the plant. They are all important for something in the plant, and they interact to modify the effects of each other, and some have color.
Consuming full spectrum products is a completely different experience than consuming CRC produced products.
If you ever get the chance to physically eat some quality Moroccan hash, you will experience something well beyond a distillate buzz…full spectrum is different, and totally better, in my opinion.

wtf is in that shit?
dunno. works though.
we can do better.
the entourage certainly seems valid, but y’alls fav crowd (chemovar) just ain’t for all of us.
some of that “full” spectrum is provably not good for some.
We need more data. at least some of that needs to be with isolated compounds combined in very specific ratios. or we’ll never figure it out.
I have yet to knowingly sample anyone else’s “remediated” product, so I should probably just 
and get back to the CBD mines…

When I CRC old or poor quality material it cleans it up to an almost synthetic taste and smell. When I CRC really nice material I don’t have to do as much filtering and I can retain the full flavor and smell.

Considering most flavanoids are pigmented. YES lol, i look at that question the same as why would you want to smoke concentrated terpenes? For the effect even tho i know it may not be the healthiest. As a person who gets anxiety from smoking i can say that CRC’d dabs fuck me up, i dont even smoke it anymore without packing some non crc on the same dab. Not saying its indefinately the flavanoids but def. something. I also find the high lacking some effects, like CRCd extract seems more like a isolate/distillate to me, atleast 1 step closer anyways… if disty is composed of flavanoids and cannabinoids but isnt considered full spectrum. WOuldnt sauce with terpenes and not flavanoids be considered so as well? slightly off topic at the end but food for thought.

Sauce, to the best of my understanding is the same thing that others call diamonds. Fresh material, obtain quality live resin, let it seperate. So, in a sense, it is full spectrum.
There are so many names for concentrates, and they are not even used uniformly, from region to region. Gets difficult to describe things, without confusion.
