id work as an assistant teacher if possible.
Pretty much everything would be benchtop / pilot scale. Right now weâre just talking about a few 2L and 5L SPD sets, 5L roto, 10L reactor and enough stainless steel to piece together a miniature falling film and small ethanol extraction system. Maybe a 6" Chinese wiper if I can get some missing pieces together.
I have not seen any issues with any of the accessory equipment like heaters/chillers, diff pumps, vacuum pumps, compressors, or any of the lab glass as of yet, but again, I may be wrong.
With all of this only being for demos and no actual processing taking place, other than on a very small scale, I imagine solvent quantities can be kept quite low as well.
Thanks again, the encouragement (or at least non-discouragement?) is appreciated.

Loopnet.com is a good resource for industrial property listings
Edit: nvm I didnât read that you already had a property, my bad
I live like right near Brighton too btw (hell my father in law is from there)âŚwithin 5 mins actually, so Iâm not exactly just talking nonsense (even though when I typed it was tired enough it could have been easily steered in that direction). A gentleman had set up a lab in (A town in the very immediate area, think a little nicer but not REALLY nice) last year and had to jump through so many hoops I donât think anything ever became operational. Hell, he sunk so much money into it he asked TO OPERATE THE LAB FOR A MONTH SO HE HAD A BENCHMARK OF WHAT TO SUE THE CITY WITH.
Let me ask a few people about what their licensing/inspection requirements are once I get a second coffee in me. I worked in hemp for longer than Iâd like to admit so I have a few resources I can draw from thatâs relatable to our location so you donât have to deal with the same BS - hopefully I can get some useful answers for you
If itâs a hemp lab you may be subject to way less BS than a THC lab but donât quote me on that as the Denver area has really went hard on restricting unlicensed solvent based operations BUT as stated before that may be different with regards to hemp extractions.
I already let my crew, and anyone else that comes through my facility making âslip and fallâ jokes know that âsure, you may win the money in the lawsuit, but youâre sure as shit gonna earn it with the new limp youâll get!â Letâs hope it works

Thanks a bunch for the feedback and the offer to get some more info around potential licensing/inspection requirements, I really appreciate it.
I never really had any intentions for this to be any sort of THC lab due to all the extra nonsense I would have to deal with. My initial plans were to market all the classes as being for the hemp industry, with the website, marketing material, and company info all reflecting that, but with the implication that everything learned can easily be transferred to THC processing if someone wants to go that route.
I also planned on all the processing material used in class being strictly hemp/CBD to keep costs lower, and do not see much of a reason to mention THC processing at all, at least until the point I would want to expand into butane/propane processing classes.

No worries! After a bit of checking on our old conversations I think itâs a matter of the city/county (I forget which) signing off on a business license declaring what you do BUT I do not believe you need the insane licensing that youâd need for the regular market
Anyone know of a warehouse available for rent in northern cali? Oakland, sac, stockton, modesto,tracy etc.? hit me up, got someone looking for a property.
