I suggest room temp or near it.

Bumping a bit of a dated thread here but I recently came across a presentation that had me thinking about destructive distillation and where it’s headed.
There’s a Israel company that goes by CannaRX (Izun Pharmaceuticals) that has been working on an destructive distillation technique/machine for the last few years. In the end they bind the cannabinoids with a protein for easier delivery but the extraction method remains the same. Presentations & patents are worth watching and reading if you’re interested in this technique.

Thoughts?

you stoners are no good at this, your dosing is just so unpredictable…so we figured we’d smoke the cannabis for you…
Edit: definitely gets points for going around everyone else’s patents. probably works too.

What @cyclopath said! Also wondering what sorts of proteins would enhance delivery since cannabinoids operate on G-coupled protein receptors.

I have seen this bitumen-like product left over from crude that was either a) not filtered/scrubbed properly and/or b) extracted too aggressively (extracting material from the green leafy part of the plant vs. just trichomes). It’s a nasty mess that ends up requiring solvents specifically suited to tar and asphalt removal. Drives me nuts but that’s why I always run a small test batch before committing to a new customer for tolling. Seems to be a lot of new folks in the game who want to get their crude quick and easy without understanding the consequences of their extraction methods. I’ve also considered offering filtering/scrubbing as an additional service to avoid such ass pain as well.
